Hi Paul,
It is a refreshing change to hear a UK voice and also not someone who is trying to BS everyone.
I am based in Dorset, UK and I am just starting out. I struggle with wordpress to be honest and use blogger instead. I am in no rush to build big, but will your strategies work well with blogger sites?

I really need some help and would like to follow the videos. I like the Amazon & Adsense idea as it allows me to get started with making some extra cash.

I have enjoyed reading your site and will be following with interest.

@Janis:

hi janis

your welcome janis

im also in the uk and i opened up an account for amazon.com

if you want to sell products to traffic in the US then you do need to be part of the amazon.com affiliate program

theres no difference except with a amazon.com account you will only get commissions from all products you sell to people in the US NOT any other contry!

i never use my amazon.co.uk account because most of the traffic comes from the US

99.9% of the time its not worth opening different accounts for different countries because as i said 90% of the traffic comes from US anyway

you can have both an amazon UK and an amazon US link on your website and then just direct people to either country before they make there purchase

i never do this its just not worth it but i know some people do

the best way to deal with this problem is only build affiliate sites which has mostly US traffic, of course this check is done in your research stage (which i do explain in my videos how to do it)

another reason why i only like to use 1 affiliate program/account is because its easier for commissions.

But if you do have a website which gets a decent amount of traffic and it has the potential to sell a decent amount of UK products then by all means use the UK amazon program on those sites

apart from that just stick to amazon.com

hope this helps

Hi Paul,

Thank you for the valuable information you share here. Many things came up together for me after reading this. It seems you know what you are talking about. I would appreciate receiving from you an advice on specific topic related to your posts.

I always wanted to find out seems very simple question about Amazon which I cannot find anywhere:
I have my Amazon.co.uk account. Do I have to open another accounts (Amazon.us, Amazon.ca…) if I would want to sell products to customers in USA, or Canada? I suppose there will be different links to the product for Amazon.us or Amazon.ca.

What about links to Amazon products for different countries on my web page? How to deal with it.

Ragards,
Janis

@Wim (Belgium):

hey wim

yeah ive been quietly building my biz over the last couple of years and it was about time i shared all of my tips and secrets

using adsense and amazon on the same site basically makes you more money so why not do it

but…. there is a certain way to add amazon links in such a way that it wont have a big negative effect to your adsense earnings (this is the reason why most people dont include amazon on the same site because there adsense earnings drop by too much)

by following my methods taught in my full video course you will make amazon sales but at the same time maintain your adsense earnings too

you can build amazon or adsense only sites thats fine but by using both you are squeezing out the maximum amount of revenue from each site that you build

when it comes to cost per click, you dont need to get too into all the stats and numbers.

i know the tools are never 100% accurate but they are only to be used as a guide and if you follow my teachings as shown in my videos then your going to do fine

all the time you spend worrying how much you will actually get paid for a click and all that stuff you could be creating content, building links and expanding your own business rather than worrying about all the fine details about exact numbers and earnings you will actually get from each keyword

as long as you generally go for my recommended cpc when you choose keywords then you will do fine

just keep things simple wim and you will be fine

hope this helps

Hi Paul , right now it seems like you’ve come out of nowhere but you have been around some while obviously. Like your no nonsense 1st video on Amazon and the use free tools where you can approach. It’s the first time I see someone doing Adsense and Amazon on the same site. Are we not supposed not to distract the visitor to our site with Adsense ads and keep him focused on our Amazon offer ? Talking about Adsense , I bought a WSO (Warrior Forum) recently on Adsense. It seems like the true adsense value for any given keyword is much lower than the CPC the Google keyword tool wants us make believe. That’s because the CPC is a qualification for the Search network and Adsense ads are on the Contextual Network where cost per click is much lower ?? T know the correct cost per click and revenue in Adsense one has to click the Contextual tab in the Google keyword tool first ( on the left of the screen) and this will give the corresponding value of the keyword list you are looking at. This information was new to me and I don’t know what to make of this ? What’s your thought on this ? Cheers !

@Ray Newland:

hi ray

thanks i hope you enyoy it

as you know there are 2 sitemaps that i recommend that you use

the html and xml

with the html (daegan design site map) you just need to create a new “page” and name it
site map then click on the html and add this bit of code in there

but make sure its in the html not visual

click save then your site map will appear

let me know if you have any other problems

hope this helps

Hi Paul, great site.

I am not sure if i am doing this right as advised by yourself?

I am following your video course (great by the way) and added the site map plugin successfully… but i cannot seem see the site map on my website?

Does this get added automatically or have i got to add this as its own page, then copy and paste all site map url’s into this page??

may thanks… ray
