Amazon Associates increase from $200 to $1,500 per month

I just read the most interesting post from AnnMarie about how she increased her Amazon Associates revenue from $200 to $1,500 in one month by using a number of tactics.

The thing that tripped me out is that she and I both had about 13,000 clicks on our various Amazon links peppered around the net -- but while her conversion rate was a little over 7%, mine was a little over 1%.

So of course I soaked up her tips for getting more sales, including generally linking more often -- plus I got a good idea or two about the types of products that are selling well.

She also used that plugin by Chris Guthrie -- that Amazon super affiliate -- that makes linking to Amazon products easier. I haven't purchased that yet, but I see that she's a believer in it, as well as another woman in her comments section.

I seriously love reading about how other bloggers make money because even after years and years online, I still learn so much about increasing my income.

Now I'm going to check out her huge Facebook fan page about cheese and stuff. I think she's got like 100K followers, so I want to see what that's all about.

Good deal, good deal.
