How to Make Money Using Amazon

Making money online can be a bit confusing, that is why we love making money with Amazon. You see, this online store giant offers a free affiliate program that you can join and cash in on commissions from almost all of their products.

What Is Affiliate Marketing?
This is where you earn a commission from a company by promoting a personalized link that they give you. Amazon’s is free to join and is better than most in my opinion. You see with other companies, in most cases, you are promoting one item. If they buy great, if not, your customer is cookied and if they come back within a predetermined period of time you can still make money on that one item.

Amazon, on the other hand, pays you whether they purchase the initial item or a completely different product,
For example, if someone clicks on your affiliate link and buys something, whether it is a new bike or a pot holder you earn a percentage of the commissions. The cool part is that they do not have to buy the initial product that they clicked on. So if they click to buy a shower cap and then end up buying a toaster from Amazon instead, you still earn a commission. Pretty cool right?

Most people direct link to a product. This is fine. You can earn commissions that way. The better way though is to build Amazon Affiliate stores that have been researched and target a specific niche. This way you have a chance to entice them to click on many of your links, giving you a better chance of earning that commission.

So How Do You Create These Amazon Stores?

1) You have two options. You can build them out yourself if you are technically inclined and know how to use wordpress. There are several plugins and templates available on the market. Many are good but you have to be careful because some are glitchy or do not conform to Amazon’s guidelines. Be very careful which one you choose because if you are not following the rules, Amazon can delete your affiliate account without notice.

2) You can simply buy pre-built stores for you. No fuss. No muss. You can actually be up and running in less than 5 minutes. These stores are pre-researched for you, built for you – according to Amazon’s guidelines, and delivered to you in minutes.  All you have to do is input your affiliate link and start promoting your store.

I have used both of these methods and I prefer the second one. I like knowing that my stores are up and running fast so I can promote them and start making money immediately, instead of taking hours to research and build them. There is a company that can even do this for you and have your store ready in minutes for less than $10 per store. How great is that?
