Thanks for sharing this experiment.
Very good.

I look forward for more experiment, next time hopefully I will try as well!

I am Italian, so I am not a competitor!

Thats a really clever idea.shame it didn’t work as anticipated.

But I am sure it can be optimized again and a better profit could be gained from it.

I hadent thought of Hammacher but do link to them every now and again. I will check them out today. For the UK I also use IWOOT and Firebox (which now are in the US too).

I based my goal on a % of my traffic compared to yours I’m on my way to start the ball rolling now and will let you know 1st Jan (maybe 2nd) how it went.

Nice goal Matthew, with your site and niche that is certainly achievable. I’d concentrate on AMazon, TG and Hammacher, a bit like me really

I have now set a goal of $2k from affiliate sales for the 2 months leading up to Christmas. Rather then say I am going to set a goal I figured I would write it here so it’s set.

Yes, the eternal struggle between our passion and what earns money online-

If only you can get these two to work together. Thanks for sharing the analysis.

If you try long enough you’ll find something that works, I’ve had market stalls, bulletin boards and all sorts of stuff until I found what I’m doing now, just keep plugging.

Thanks for the great post Al. Nice to see I am not the only one who sees hope for something and it not coming through. I have worked with my drawing site for over half a year thinking it would generate some sort of revenue and traffic. And, although it has generated over 6k page views per month I am not sure what that means since it does not seem to get my adds displayed and certainly not clicked. I must have been a bit of a dreamer to think I could use my ample supply of free ‘art’ to make something, but at least i am not alone. Now to explore other ideas I have been thinking of which may have better revenue potential - onward and upward

That is one of the coolest t-shirts I have ever seen. Thanks for planting the idea of creating your own banners for advertising.

There’s none that I know of in the UK. You have just given me an idea of a sideline I could do and that is advise UK gadget stores of what is popular across the pond, there must be some money in that.
