Free affiliate advertising program from Amazon
Amazon Associates is a free business web application that allows you to earn money from advertising Amazon links on your website. Offered by Amazon.com itself, Amazon Associates—also known as Amazon Affiliate—is an affiliate marketing program. Website owners and bloggers can partner up with Amazon Associates and earn referral fees if customers click the Amazon links they’ve set up and bought from Amazon through them. This is a great way to earn some cash on the side while you’re running your website or actually establishing your own online business.
Amazon needs you
Amazon.com Inc. is a company that focuses on e-commerce, cloud computing, digital streaming, and artificial intelligence. It’s one of the most popular tech companies around and is well-known as an online marketplace and retailer. That’s why if you see any websites or blogs talking about products, they may have some links that redirect you to Amazon.com so you can purchase the items. Amazon has an advertisement program that lets you link their products to your website if you’d like to earn some money through them.
First, you need to have an active website, blog, app, or YouTube channel. It’s best if there’s already content there so you have some audience visiting your site. Then, visit the Amazon Associates homepage and apply for it. You’ll be needing an Amazon account for this. You’ll be asked various important details like your personal information, your website address, how you generate traffic for your type of website, and payment method. You can now access your Amazon Associates performance dashboard that shows how well you’re doing.
To get the links you’ll use, either choose "Quick Links: Search for Product"—for specific product keywords—or "Browse for Product"—for specific product categories. You can customize how your link will look on your website, like adding an image, text, or background color. Take note, however, that you’ll need to make at least one sale within 180 days or else your account will be closed. Don’t worry, though, as you can still reapply.
