Tips for the Future
I suggest setting some money aside ahead of time in preparation for the following year’s Prime Day. This way you can get more of what’s on your wishlist without worry!!
Another tip is to make an actual wishlist on Amazon ahead of time so you are notified if they go on sale and so you can more easily track prices.
You can also use Prime Day as super duper early Christmas shopping if you’re really on your game and think you know what others will want for Christmas even before they do! Ha!
To Be Honest…
Prime Day is a big deal for me.
My blog has a lot of posts but is still quite new and I work hard to drive traffic to it. I probably work 50 hours a week on my blogs in any free time I have while also being a SAHM to my 3 little boys.
The main way people make money from having a blog is by selling digital products, which I do on my own shop site and on Etsy.
Another way is running ads, which I do on my other site but not on this one so far.
The third way is affiliate marketing/affiliate links. This is where Prime Day comes in. Every time you click through on one of my Amazon links and then buy something within the next 24 hours, even if it’s not what I linked to, I get a small amount of commission at no extra cost to you. Generally, this brings in just a few dollars a month because the commission rate is typically around 2% and not many people come to my blog and click through my links. However, last year on Prime Day I made $70 in affiliate commission in two days. That was most of my income last year from my blog. I greatly, greatly appreciated that $70 from Amazon which helped fund becoming an LLC this year.
All that to say, I greatly appreciate when anyone clicks through my Amazon links and buys anything. I seriously get excited every time I see I got even a penny of commission! It’s not even about the money really, it just makes me feel like I’m accomplishing something and maybe my blog will eventually make somewhat of a regular income, but we’ll see.
So if you want to make this budgeting mama smile, next time you want to buy something from Amazon, click here first so I get a few pennies of commission and feel accomplished.
Happy Shopping!!
Throughout my parenting journey with 3 kids on a single income, I have become an expert in living comfortably within our means without feeling restricted and I will help you do the same.
I'm a former school psychologist who left my career to stay home with my children, hence the one-income family and needing to adapt to that mentality while still living comfortably.
