How to Make Money Online with Amazon
It has been several months since I signed up with Amazon Associates affiliate program in order to make money online advertising Amazon products. You can earn up to 15 percent in referrals by advertising Amazon products.
What is the Amazon Associates program?
Let me quote Amazon: “Amazon Associates is one of the first online affiliate marketing programs and was launched in 1996. The Amazon Associates program has a more than 12 year track record of developing solutions to help website owners, Web developers, and Amazon sellers make money by advertising millions of new and used products from Amazon.com and Endless.com. When website owners and bloggers who are Associates create links and customers click through those links and buy products from Amazon.com or Endless.com, they earn referral fees.”
I have yet to fully explore this affiliate program. As of now, I have not even earned from this affiliate program. It seems easy to use but you really have work hard on this affiliate program for you to be able to earn because you can only earn if your visitors make a purchase using your referral link.
The concept of the Amazon Associates affiliate program is not the same with Pay-Per-Click advertising program. You may have 100 clicks but you would not even earn from those clicks unless your visitors make a purchase from the links you created.
To create a link and to add content to your site, you can customize the Links and Banners, aStore and Widgets that you can browse and select at the Amazon Associates site once you signed up or joined the Amazon Associates program. Signing up with Amazon Associates affiliate program is free.
I highly recommend that after you signed up with Amazon Associates, access the Associates Central, and join the Discussion Boards for tips on how to effectively earn from advertising Amazon products.
