how to make money on amazon? do you make money by people clicking or buying or both?
You can only make money on Amazon by selling items. However you earn commission on the entire first sale made after someone clicks through (in the first 24 hours.)
For instance if you had an Amazon item such as a pair of socks on your hub and then someone clicked through and purchased $200 of items and you were at 6% commission, you'd get about $12.
It's rare to make money on hubs that are 'informational'. Review and product based hubs are more likely to get you Amazon sales.
you earn through the concision for selling amazon product through your hub using amazon capsules.

I sold over $500 through my hubs yesterday (my commission is a LOT less, obviously). By far, it was my best day with eleven items sold. I usually sell two items per week on average, so this was a pleasant surprise. The funny thing was that the items were from three different hubs,...

It's been a while since I made any amazon sales, finally the ice was shattered; but, even though I sold 2 items (They're ordered) my earnings show as $0. Do they have to be delivered before I get the commission?
