The Story
What if I told you that you could make $1500 in a week? What if you only had to do a couple of hours work to make that $1500? Sound too good to be true?
That’s what I would have thought 3 years ago when I first got started with Internet Marketing. However, these days, I’m starting to find out that it is very true and it is very real.
I want to share a story with you about how I made $2000 in 2 Days by selling affiliate products at Amazon.com.
So there I was, sitting around the house on a lazy Saturday after Black Friday, and I was thinking about how I did during Black Friday Deals Week on Amazon.
I had made two or three times more money during that week than I had the previous year.
I started thinking about all of the things I did to get ready for marketing products for Black Friday sales on Amazon, and I realized that I had not really done that much.
In fact, most of the sales I made were from things I had done a day or two before Black Friday.
Then it occurred to me that Cyber Monday was going to be here in only 2 days!
What’s worse is…
I didn’t even have anything ready for Cyber Monday. In fact, I hadn’t even checked around to find out who was having the best deals, what was going to be on sale or anything! I was going to be screwed!
At that point I started thinking harder about the things I had done on Black Friday, and that is when I realized that in all actuality I had only put in about 20 minutes worth of work.
So I started talking to my mom about my situation and while I was doing that I started thinking out loud…
I thought, “Heck! If I can get the kind of results I got on Black Friday by only doing 20 minutes worth of work, then I can do about an hour of work and get triple the results!”
That is exactly what I did!
I woke up on Sunday morning and found that my sales were already increasing from the work I had done a day before.
Then, on Monday, I woke up to check my stats and got a very nice surprise!
I had sold 243 items in one day!!!
What’s even better…These were not cheap items that people only spent a couple of dollars on.
No! These were expensive digital cameras, Various Versions of Kindle, LCD TVs, Video Game Systems, and a lot of other big ticket items! I was jacked!
When I started adding up the commission that I had made from that one day of sales it totaled up over $1000!!!
At that point I was thinking, “Wow! $1000 for 1 hour of work!?!”
Then something even better happened!
On Tuesday, I woke up to check my stats…
I had sold 221 items on Cyber Monday!
Once again, these were big ticket items which meant big commissions for each sale!
I started adding up the commissions again and found out that I had made over $1000 again!
At this point I was thinking, “Wow! $2000 for 1 hour of work!?! I could get used to this!”
Now I realize that $2000 is not a lot of money to some people, but for a full time college student with 2 kids, $2000 is great money! Especially when I only had to do 1 hour of work to get it.
I am sitting here on a Wednesday morning writing this blog post and reflecting back on the weekend I just had, and I have been thinking about the amount of work I had to do in order to make the kind of money I just made.
That got me thinking about my family and friends who read this blog.
If I am making this kind of money then I want everyone who reads my blog to make this kind of money.
So, what I have decided to do is create an ebook detailing all of the steps I took to make as many sales as I did on Amazon.
I am going to sell this ebook for a little bit of money (probably $7) and I promise it will be worth every penny you pay for it.
I am going to have videos that go along with the book that will show you how to do the things that you will need to do. It will be like looking over my shoulder as I guide you down the path to doing everything exactly the way I do it.
If you have been reading my blog for a little while then you have likely read the post where I talk about how much I dislike Gurus.
I am not a Guru!
I keep things simple and straight to the point. I don’t like products that make you more confused than you already are.
I like products that show you what to do rather than tell you what to do.
Everything I write and everything I do on video for this product will be easy to understand, and even if you have never done anything online you will be able to learn how to be a great affiliate marketer once you have gone through the product.
Oh yeah, by the way, the method I will be teaching in the product is not something that can only be used on Black Friday and Cyber Monday…It can be used any time of the year!
I will be giving away a few copies for FREE in exchange for reviews that will be posted on the sales page for the product once it is available. If you are interested in getting a copy in exchange for a review then make sure to get signed up on my email list for details.
I will keep you up to date on how the product is coming along soon!
To Success,
Jeff Sherwood
Nice
Very impressive! In order to sell that many items you had to have a whole boatload traffic to your Amazon affiliate site. That would be a useful bit of info to have – how did you develop your customer base?
Such an inspiration, Jeffery. Sounds like you really have a good system.
Congratulations Jeffrey, this is very good news about how to make money online as an Amazon affilate! I’m excited! Now, if only Amazon would change their position about firing all the California affiliates. They have fired affiliates from other states too. They don’t want to collect sales tax. I’ve had to go and strip all my Amazon affiliate ads from my websites. I think I’ll open up my guest posts to let other people put their Amazon ads into their guest posts on my websites, and let them earn their commissions, if they live in a state that hasn’t gotten them fired from Amazon. This was a bummer lesson for me about putting all my eggs in one basket.
Good luck!
I was looking exactly for something this motivational. I’ve been trying to make money online with affiliate marketing for some time, but I have to admit my efforts were not up to the required level. Thx for sharing your story.
That’s great Jeffrey! You deserve all your success because I know you’ve worked hard for it. Keep up the good work.
Great post as usual, you deserve all that success, keep on posting my friend
Thank you everyone for the support…I am working on something that I hope is going to help a lot of people achieve the same results as me (if not greater). I’ll be in touch soon!
