If you have already heard of the Amazon affiliate program – and would like to try to make money with Amazon Affiliate – but you still have some doubts about how the program works and the earnings you can get … then your day is about to change dramatically.
After reading this article, you will find yourself in a position to start earning with Amazon after just 30 minutes of work!
This is not some kind of unattainable desire, the data speak for themselves:
- Approximately 15% of the entire media industry’s revenue comes from affiliate marketing
- By 2008, there were around 2 million affiliates of the Amazon affiliate program
- In 2015, the earnings generated by Amazon affiliates exceeded $ 10 billion
- In 2020 the numbers have almost tripled, and the trend is still growing
- Amazon is a company that has proved extremely solid even in times of crisis and many estimates predict that in 2025 it will see its earnings tripled
In short, it is not you and I who daydream: the trend of earning through affiliate programs is real, growing, and ready to welcome new affiliates with the desire to TRY.
The Amazon affiliation works exactly like all other affiliate programs: you have the opportunity to earn a commission by promoting products that are not yours (so without the need to have something to sell on Amazon).
(Basically, Amazon offers compensation to people who bring other people to buy the products on the site).
Therefore…
How does the Amazon affiliate program work?
- Sign up for the affiliate program: Free registration can be done from their website (details soon)
- Select the product to promote: After registering each product will have an associated “unique” link
- Create your own link: After registering, you will be able to create a personal link
- Insert links in your articles: You can insert them either as text or as an image
- If a visitor clicks, Amazon will recognize you. The generated links are unique, and therefore Amazon understands that you generated the visit
- And if the visitor buys something after passing your link, you earn a percentage of the sale.
Simple isn’t it?
Basically, you make the list of products to promote, get the links, and insert the links in your articles. The “technical” part is all here!
But I know very well that you have a whole series of doubts, so before moving on to the juiciest information (those on strategy) here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions:
How are Amazon affiliate links created?
Once subscribed to the affiliate program you will have the possibility to generate personalized links that will contain your unique affiliate code. This will allow Amazon to understand that the sale took place thanks to you
Amazon affiliation without a website… is it possible?
NO. Without a blog, you would not be recognized as authoritative and you would not be able to generate the necessary traffic.
But there is excellent news: creating a blog has become very simple and affordable for everyone, I talk about it in more detail at this link: how to create a blog.
Amazon affiliation without VAT number… is it possible?
Yes, Amazon doesn’t care. The VAT number must be open to paying taxes on earnings … and the earnings must be sensible and lasting (if you earn € 500 tomorrow, you don’t have to open the VAT number).
Start creating your project and earning. When you will earn substantial amounts for several consecutive months then it will make sense to open the VAT number.
Why should people buy what I recommend?
This answer relates to the previous one. People will buy what you recommend because thanks to the blog you will be able to be credible. When you talk about a certain topic online, you are automatically perceived as an “expert”. People will follow your advice.
Example: If you have an entire blog that is exclusively about dogs, it is only natural that your advice on dog food will be highly persuasive.
