   My Amazon earnings just exceeded my Google Adsense and by a significant amount.
   
   There is hope to make good money with Amazon.
   
   Keep up the hard work in 2011

         Yes it does.
         
         I've always earned more from Google and yet today I exceeded that amount with my Amazon earnings and with a good lead.
         
         It does pay off!

                  yes i am Kristen. It feels great to be around people that share the same goals and interests as me. The more time i spend on here the less time i spend on facebook. it feels great when i get a new follower or someone read my blog or my numbers go up. I feel great.

   Congratulations Katie! Glad that all your hard work is paying off. Because I'm from the UK I set my payout threshold quite high on Amazon (costs a lot to bank the cheque)and have just got an email to say that my first payment is on the way!
   
   So I am earning about equally on Amazon and Adsense.

   Congrats Katie, and to CMHypno and Mikey as well. Amazon is slower to get rolling, but for me it very quickly passed up my adsense earnings and has continued to do so. My monthly adsense earnings grow slowly. Amazon grows nicely for me.
   
   That said, I've focused on Amazon more than on adsense. I need to get a better balance going there.

          That's a respectable answer katiem2. I made nothing the first month and really for some reason I removed all my amazon capsules when I first started. One reason I was adding amazon products that weren't really related to my hubs. With further research here I managed to vamp my hubs and began getting sales in the second month. The 3rd month was 3x the second months earnings. My 4th month (December) was 4x my 3rd months earnings. This month my 5th month I have already past December earnings and working on the 7% affiliate fee. Now katiem2 you have 3x as many hubs as me so I can only imagine your success is probably more than 3x my earnings. Basically if you write hubs and add the amazon capsules with relevant products eventually sales will increase and amazon does pay off !!!!
          
          Congrats katiem2 !!!!!

             This is true.  At first, like you, I was missing the point of good Amazon products.  It took me a while to get familar with Amazon products and then picking and placing the right products in the right place.
             
             I'm very pleased with the amount of money I'm making from Amazon!
             
             PLUS, I continue to edit and improve my hubs.  Great to hear you're doing well.  You got off to a great start and I'm sure will increase your earnings.  It just keeps getting better.
