How to affiliate market with amazon

Affiliate marketing is among the top ways to make money online. If you don’t have any idea on how to affiliate, don’t worry. we have a solution for you. And its called ‘Amazon affiliate program’. Affiliates consider Amazon as one of the top affiliate programs out there today. Getting affiliated with Amazon is simple and the whole affiliation process takes less than an hour (in most cases). Unlike Adsense which can take months, only to set up right.

Affiliates earn up to tens of thousands of dollars monthly using only Amazon affiliate program. But this much amount is not earned right away, patience and hard work is the key. If you are considering to become an affiliate then you should know that being an affiliate means you advertise other people or company’s products and when a viewer clicks on one of your ad links, and actually buys that product through your link only then will you get paid a very small percentage of the sales.

Now, if you put only one ad on one page/post then obviously chances of anyone buying that particular product from your link are very slim. You need to post quality content on a daily basis and add around 5,10 products in every single post. After doing this for more than one year, yes that’s right a whole year after you can really expect to earn any real money.

The math behind this is simple, let’s say you have 365 posts (by posting one every single day for one year) of which, each contains 10 affiliate ads. so that is 365 x 10 = 3,650 ad links. Only 10% of this number of ads will actually be clicked by people and further, only 10% of that number might actually consider buying …

This narrows down the number of products purchased through your links to 36.5 and let’s say you are getting 1$ of each of these sales then the amount that you will be earning at the end of the year is only 36$. But this amount and the numbers above are hypothetical, maybe you can get millions of views just by 10 blog posts (which is highly unlikely, but still can happen).

So, all it comes down to in the end is engaging your audience to get excited about your content, so that they share it rapidly. Which in order to do, your content needs to be unique.

After understanding these basics if you are still determined to try out affiliate marketing then here’s the process.
