Is Amazon Associates still worth it or dying? My 2 cents

yo, I've been grinding Amazon Associates for like 4 years now and I gotta say, it's still got some juice if you know how to play it right. I recently ran a campaign that made me 350 bucks in a week just by promoting niche tech gadgets. That's not bad considering the low effort. But fr, the key is to focus on evergreen content and targeted traffic. If you just slap links on a blog and hope for the best, yeah, you'll get crushed by the new commissions cuts and stiff rules. But if you build an audience, email list, or run some paid ads, you can still pull solid numbers. Honestly, I see a lot of dudes giving up because they think Amazon is dead, but nah, it's just changing. If you diversify with other programs, you can keep the cash flow steady. I think as long as you stay smart and adapt, Amazon's still worth it in 2023.
 
Last month I made 600 bucks in a week with Amazon Associates but I wouldn't call it low effort, more like a mix of good SEO and decent conversion tactics, which took time to build. Sure,
 
yo, honestly, just slapping links and hoping for the best rarely works long-term. I've seen dudes blow up quick but then get crushed when algo changes or rules tighten. gotta build assets, like an email list or niche site, if you wanna keep steady. otherwise, it's just luck with random campaigns
 
that's solid, but honestly, the real for me was using a tool like Ahrefs to spy on competitors and find those hidden niche keywords. It's not just about building backlinks, but about really digging into what's actually working in your space. If you're serious about scaling, I'd recommend investing in some keyword research tools to keep your content sharp and targeted.
 
just my 2 cents, bruh, but yeah that's the risk with Amazon, or any affiliate really. you gotta stay adaptable and not rely solely on one platform. diversifying is key but even then, algo shifts can still mess things up. better to build long term assets that can survive the updates.
 
yo, this is so true, bro. I've seen so many just slap links and wonder why they ain't making bank anymore. gotta focus on content that adds value, not just links, or
 
different angle: honestly, focus on building a solid email list and nurturing it. organic traffic is good but emails get you repeat visits and higher cro over time. tools help, but the real money's in your list lol
 
bruh, lol, just gotta keep testing new niches and keywords. amazon's algo still swings back fast, so staying ahead with data and tracking is where the real juice is. don't rely on just one traffic source either.
 
Last month i tried running some A/B tests on my landing pages and saw way better conversion rates by tweaking the headlines and call to action buttons, so my tip is don't get lazy with your LPs, keep split testing and optimizing constantly. always a way to squeeze more juice out of the traffic you got. keep grinding, stay sharp. catch ya later.
 
Honestly, I think people overestimate how easy it is to just keep grinding Amazon and make bank. I've seen folks struggle even with niche tech, cuz the market's gotten way more competitive. afaik, diversify is the real move, not just hoping Amazon stays king.
 
Diversify is the game, but don't sleep on Amazon, it still pulls decent cr if you know what you're doing. Gotta keep testing, staying sharp on traffic and content.
 
just my 2 cents, but if you really wanna keep those conversions up, focus on building an email list from your niche content. then you can promote products directly to people who already trust you, making those commissions more consistent. less relying on pure traffic and more on a small, engaged audience. catch you later!
 
yep exactly, but I think you meant "my 2 cents" not "my 2 cents" lol. Also, gotta say, Amazon's still decent for beginners but yeah the commissions ain't what they used to be.
 
Haha, yeah I was gonna say the same about your "my 2 cents" lol. I remember when I first started, I just focused on niching down and writing reviews people actually wanna read, not just throwing up links. Do that, and you'll at least get some traffic that converts even if commissions are meh atm.
 
I'd say around 7% of my traffic still comes from Amazon and it's still decent for some quick conversions but overall imho the program's dead weight for serious income. I've seen better results diversifying into more stable affiliate programs with higher commissions and recurring income. Amazon's just too unpredictable and their cookie windows are tiny now.
 
lol yeah i caught that "my 2 cents" slip too, classic. honestly if ur just starting out and wanna get some quick sales, amazon still not terrible but don't expect much long term. ive been diversifying my links lately and seeing better epc elsewhere.
 
Like 10% of my clicks now, maybe less. Its just not a main revenue stream anymore, if you ask me. Still decent for quick cash but long term? Nah. Better to diversify or move on.
 
been doing this 3 years and remember when everyone was hyped about amazon being the gold mine lol. now it's more like a side gig, maybe 10% of my income if that. man, things change fast in this game.
 
different angle: some guys still crush it with amazon, but they really focus on niche-specific content and SEO. it's not dead fr, just less forgiving for newbies or those relying on it as a main gig. gotta be smart and target the right audience.
 
Different angle: I got a buddy who still kills it with Amazon, but he's been in the game forever and works niche content like a madman. The rest of us? It's just a smaller piece of the pie now, imo.
