Blogging Performance to Date

It seems really hard to make money doing that. Amazon only pays 4% for 1-7 sales, and it goes up to 6% from 8-13, and the percentage goes all the way up to %8.5 on scaled values.

It is hard to get CPC for under $0.20 for relevant keywords. The clicks only ended up with about 2% going on to sales for that. The only item purchased cost about $20 bucks. I generated $0.80 in revenue and spent $10.50 on advertising.

It was a big lost it seems. Maybe some of the expensive items will sell within 80 clicks to make up for the losses. Some items listed cost up to $500 and the minimum is around $15. 4% of $500 would be $20, so I should sell that within $20 spent or it would really not work. It would lose money.

I am looking to these possibilities to fix the problem:

-Choose different products
- Try expensive products
- Try cheaper products
-Choose different keywords
- Try cheaper keywords
- Try expensive keywords
- Try more specific keywords
