‘Million’ is a magical word. However, until a few years back, it used to be an alien word for me. I’m from New Delhi, India, and here we talk in Lakhs and Crores. Thanks to globalization and the growth of the blogging and startup industries, “million” is no longer a word that is exciting for me. Why am I talking about this word? Because ShoutMeLoud receives more than 1.5 million page views a month, and one of my goals for this year is to reach 2 million page views a month. I think we can get there… Welcome to this special transparency report of ShoutMeLoud! Every few months, I publish a report like this stating what is happening with our blog, how we performed in terms of traffic and income, and a lot of new ideas and suggestions for bloggers in every niche to grow their own blogging businesses.

The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide To Mastering Amazon Affiliate Marketing
But I am very annoyed to see that almost every newbie starts a blog on either "blogging tips" or "technology" even if they have zero knowledge of those subjects.

I haven't seen a very good guide that covers those basic and crucial things which will help you to make money as soon as possible, so here's my shot at doing that. For reference, here is my Jan. 2017 income report from the Amazon.com affiliate marketing program (Amazon Associates): Sure, it takes a lot of time and dedication to make a blog successful, but what if you don't know what you need to do to get this affiliate marketing thing to work? You will work really hard at doing the wrong … [Read more...] about The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide To Mastering Amazon Affiliate Marketing
How I Earn from Amazon Associates Program
Amazon Associates, which is the name given to Amazon’s affiliate program, has been around for many years yet very few bloggers attempt to make money with it. I’ve myself been an Amazon affiliate for over 2 years, and have found it to be among the best affiliate programs on the internet. The reason why I promote Amazon’s products is that they convert incredibly well. Amazon has done well to establish itself as the best e-retailer over the years, and the trust it has with its customers is the reason that makes customers buy products from them over and over again. Though I had registered for an Amazon Associates account well over two years back, I never really pushed hard to promote their products as I was quite skeptical about whether I would be able to pitch products to customers from the United States. Added to the misery was the fact that being an Amazon affiliate, you only get about 4-8% commission on most of their products, depending on a number of sales you … [Read more...] about How I Earn from Amazon Associates Program
