WoooHoooo Made a Big Sale At Amazon

Just checked and found someone bought a sewing machine from Amazon after visiting my Make T-Shirts lens.
The sewing machine cost $169.99. I wonder what that translates into commission...
This is the second sale for me from this lens. The first was a $99 book.
Phew... think I'll go out and buy myself a Ferrari with the commission... problem is...

Questions : What happens after you see the sales in your lens stats page? When do we get paid? Who pays us... Amazon or Squidoo.... Duhhhh!

You'll be paid by Squidoo for any revenue that is earned from your lenses, either in the next payout or the month after.

That is really awesome.  What a motivating sale and especially without having any coupons on your Lens.

Re: WoooHoooo Made a Big Sale At Amazon

Congratulations. It's terrific when someone does that.  I think the commission is around 3-4%

Re: WoooHoooo Made a Big Sale At Amazon

That's great!  Good for you.

I don't want to steal your thread, but I made a big amazon sale this week, too.    $1,000 diamond ring off one of my hubs on Hubpages.   $71 commission.  Sweet!   it wasn't even anything I was promoting on the page.  So, you really never know what is going to happen with amazon.  smile

Re: WoooHoooo Made a Big Sale At Amazon

My goodness AndrewShim and Janet! Good sales! I only ever did one Hub over there (and a half finished one from last Christmas!) Maybe I should go back there for a bit. Haven't had a sale on Squiddy for ages now, but mine are normally for books with maybe a couple of dollars of commission. Maybe I should start a lens on Aston Martins...does Amazon sell Aston Martins? lol

I love to hear about big sales!  Lets hope that they keep up and maybe if I'm lucky I'll get one too. smile

Actually I 'd like to see all of us have some great sales & tons of visitors who love to return again and again.

That's excellent (and Janet too).  You must feel like you found a $100.00 bill on the ground. :-)

Actually... I HAVE found a $100 note on the ground before... decided to put it in the charity box for an orphanage... but comparing the two, this Amazon sale was a real thrill because I put a lot of work into the lens.

Timing was just nice too. Been starting to feel down in the dumps and getting stuck in a rut (with my online thingys lately). Probably just over-working, but wow.. this is a nice pick-me-up!

Here's to ALL of us making diamond ring and sewing machine sales !!!
