Make Money as an Amazon Affiliate

by DANA BATES Publisher

Amazon is a truly colossal success story of epic proportions, having started life as a pretty simple online store, and then become the world’s favorite online marketplace. What’s interesting though is how over recent years, Amazon has evolved from a successful business into an enormous opportunity for those looking to make money from home, or perhaps bring more revenue to their existing business.

How? Simple Really – By Becoming An Amazon Affiliate.

Selling items on Amazon is not the only way of making money from the site – thousands are inquiring into becoming Amazon affiliates and making a small fortune by promoting the site itself. It’s a pretty simple principle – you, your website or your business is used as a platform upon which to promote Amazon’s various products and you get paid in relation to how many people you send to the firm’s website and what kinds of purchases they make.         

Sounds too good to be true, right? Amazingly, it’s not only true, but so easy to get up and running – it’s definitely worth a try if working from home sounds like your kind of thing.

What’s Needed?

Of course, in order to promote Amazon’s products and thus become an affiliate, you’ll first need to have a platform upon which to push them. This for most people will of course exist in the form of their website, their online store or some other kind of online presence. It’s also common to set up blogs and use these as promotional platforms for Amazon’s products – blogs can be easy to set up, but require real dedication to be successful with. In addition, you’ll need to sign up with PayPal to make sure you get paid, which is pretty important!

Signing Up

Amazon is always hunting for new affiliates, so you can browse through the firm’s website any time to read more about the “Amazon Associates” program. If it all sounds good to you, signing up is made very straightforward and the only details you’ll need are your standard contact information, the details of the site you intend to use for promotion and where you’ll be paid for the traffic you send. Read all terms and conditions carefully before going any further.

Product Promotion

You’ll then be able to choose what kinds of products to push via your website, so it’s of course obvious that you should choose products that are within your niche or industry area. Once they appear on your site, it’s then up to you whether you choose to allow them to sit dormant in the background or perhaps push them up in reviews. It’s difficult to strike the right balance between communication of the merits of a product and getting too bogged down with sales talk, but once you hit the nail on the head you’ll be in the money.

Income

Speaking of money, there’s technically no limit to the amount of money you can make as an Amazon affiliate. You’ll earn commission for each and every item sold thanks to your marketing efforts, which means that if you’re good enough at telling your readers how great the products on Amazon are, you could end up earning a small fortune on a pretty relentless basis.

The Amazon affiliate program is by far one of the best on the market today and the one you cannot afford to overlook.
