Amazon

Amazon associates - the affiliate scheme of Amazon - is a popular way of making money online. I get the impression that it is one of the first programs - along with Adsense - that people use to monetise their website or blog. It's a well known, respected website that many people use, and the affiliate program is very easy to use. You can create targeted ads using specific items and type of product. Amazon has a huge array of different ways to create your ads, from search boxes you can put on your website, and videos, product clouds, deal widgets.....

You earn money when people click on one of your ads and visit the Amazon webpage and buy something.

From what I have read, they are a bit mean with the commission rates.
I have had Amazon on another website I have, and have not earnt anything! I have Amazon.uk on my other website - maybe I should switch to another Amazon country site to promote.

I'll have a tinker with Amazon, and add it to my list of 80. For a a start, I've added a serach widget, which you can see on this blog.

March earnings

Another month - March - has gone already. I have earnt a similar amount to February.

I still have around 25 money making ideas so far! I've added a few more.

I easily achieved my target with the cashback sites. I have eleven on my list, and made over £100 combined on them, meaning that on average I earnt 30p + every day on each one.

I've had a go on Mylot, and earnt about £3 in March.

Again, I earnt about $13 on Google adsense: still near my unambitious target of 30p a day.

Ebay was a good earner and is easily above the £9 a month target.

As for last month, If I take my month's earnings and divide them by 25, then I have earnt around £9 for each one, which is on target! I now need to find more ways of earning £9 a month!

As other people may have found, I have found a few favourites that seem to work and are easy to use. I have dabbled with a few others and found them difficult to use, or have not had the time - or found them to be useless! Because of time constraints and because of "routines and habits" I am concentrating on a few programmes. So, I must try to give a few more programmes more time, and continue to add more schemes to my list. Some passive income money makers would be great......!!
