Motivational Monetization Slide

This is one of the slides that I had in my presentation at Animax. The purpose of the slide is to:-
1. Help folks who don't beleive in blog monetization.
2. Encourage folks who are starting out in blog monetization.

Its a screenshot of my affiliate earnings at Amazon over just a few weeks.
The blue rectangle shows that I made 28,721,730 yen (302,286 USD) for Amazon and the red rectangle shows that they gave me 1,857,732 yen (19,551 USD) for my troubles - just a few weeks earnings and thats just for my Japanese Amazon account.

dannychoo.com started off as a place for me to experiment with blog technologies (which you read about in the history of dannychoo.com) and somewhere along the line it turned out that I could generate money from doing what I was passionate about - blogging about otaku subculture and Japan.

Identify and live your passion and the rest will just follow - it always does.

And for those who are already doing Amazon affiliating and wondering about the different tags - I use them in different places to identify which areas of the user interface convert well.
