How To Become An Affiliate Marketer For Amazon

One of the most commonly asked questions in the world of affiliate marketing and blogging is "How Do I Make Money From My Blog?". 

Although the answer to that question is actually deep and varied as there are a number of different methods of generating revenue for your blog from advertising to product creation to sponsored posts to being paid a commission to recommend a product. 

The latter of which perfectly describes what affiliate marketing entails - the recommendation of  third party products in exchange for a commission.

Amazon associates is one of the original and very first affiliate marketing programs on the internet having existed since 1996. 

Why Become An Amazon Associate?

The most obvious answer here is to monetize and make money from your blog. There are many more reasons as to why you should consider the use of amazon to earn affiliate commission cheques for your site. 

Principally speaking:

• Amazon Are A Highly Trusted Brand And Convert Very Well.

• Commissions Are Good, On Par With Others. 

• 90 Day Cookie When A Purchase Is Made Potentially Ensuring Continued Commissions.

• You Get A Commission On The Cart Total - Not Just The Products You Recommended.

• Consumers Buy More Than Just A Single Product When On Amazon.

• Many Customers Return Within 30 Days Let alone 90. 

• Billions (yes BILLIONS!) Have Been Spent On Turning Amazon Into A Conversion Focused Site. 

How To Join The Amazon Associates Program

Becoming an Amazon affiliate is a very straight forward and simple process but first, you need a website with some content ideally the core pages, contact, about me, privacy policy and "some" content - about a dozen or so articles and you are in good stead for being accepted. 

Then just hop on over to the amazon associates homepage and click that rather unmissable "Join Now For Free" Button.

Then, on the following pages simply create a new account and follow the very easy step by step process and fill out the required information pertaining to you and your site (or app). 

There is nothing complicated at all - just boring old form filling telling Amazon of your site, how your plan on promoting their products and how much traffic you get on a monthly basis and some payment details. 

Pretty much all applicants are accepted at this point unless their site is bare naked (i.e no content at all) or of a controversial or polemic nature. 

Initially speaking, once accepted your trail period will begin. This is currently 6 months, during which you much make 3 sales during this period, which is a very achievable target - even if you just set up your site today and currently have no traffic. 

Amazon Associates Commission Structure

This something that is frequently changing and while there are "some" categories or product categories that do permit a 10% commission as the screenshot above indicates this is something that is "few and far between". 

Most products fall in the 4.5% range, while not actually that bad when you compare and consider that most quality physical products for other affiliate programs are in the 6% to 8% range for established brands. 

Also, 

Amazon does convert VERY well from initial traffic to sales. Significantly more so than other online retailers simply due to their huge trust factor and people are just accustomed to buying online with Amazon. 

Amazon Associates Cookie Duration

A point of controversy also, The cookie for Amazon Associates is a standard "last cookie wins" policy and has a duration of only 24 hours. 

This may sound pretty short, and in my opinion is. However the proof is in the pudding as they say and plenty of affiliates are earning thousands of USD per month on the back of short cookies and low commissions. 

Which to me is evidence of Amazon Associates being a good program to join - pretty much because of the high trust factor and good conversion rate enjoyed. 

The 24 hour cookie, which must be mentioned, upon check out gets extended by a further 89 days essentially meaning you have a "90 day buyer cookie" for those that bought something after clicking your affiliate link.

Becoming An Amazon Associate! How To Find A Niche Using Amazon!

Right!. 

This is where I wave my magic wand and help you find an awesome and profitable niche market using Amazon. 

Amazon, as a business have spent a ton of cash properly categorising the millions of products that are available on their huge market place - might as well take advantage of that I think!. 

Step 1: Simply go to the amazon home page and click where it says "all departments" select one of those departments (which are markets!) leave the search box blank and then click the search icon. 

Step 2: Select a market that you may be interested in. In our example we have selected "Tools & Home Improvement". The following screenshot is what is revealed by Amazon. 

The result, something very interesting and intriguing...

What was really picked and peaked my interest there was 2 potentially great niches coming to mind - down the left hand column -  Power & Hand Tools, which where I normally search for niches and to (excuse the pun) "drill down" on niches shown. 

Yes, this a viable choice which may require further refining to get more exact and targeted, which I will demonstrate later. 

The other, first time I seen something catch my attention along the top row in horizontal direction.

Smart Home!. 

Smart home, sure as per power tool niche "drill it down" get targeted is a VERY interesting niche because it is hot just now and is not going to go away anytime soon. In fact, just now might just be the best time to get in on such niches and build up an established site. 

I also see Smart Home as a developing niche that is only going to grow with more innovation and technology. There is enough interest in the products and the price range does signify juicy commissions. 

Step 3: Check out any of the particular categories that look interesting to you (Hand & Power Tool). 

Clicking that option highlighted simply takes us down another level to perhaps a manly "Power Tools" Niche. 

And yep!. 

A sexist as that might sound, there is an quite brilliant angle for a rather handy and DIY skilled woman to make her edge ways into - in fact there is a highly successful blog and YouTube channel of that very nature - power tool site by a lovely lady that, quite frankly speaking knows her stuff and is highly skilled in DIY!. 

Now, we have have found a potentially profitable niche all that is left to do is click "power tools" and see what products come up...

And to my surprise there are many power tool varieties that come up - which is great as you can build up a site with the differing product types and categories from Drills to, well nail guns and power saws. 

At this point, You are looking for products in the $100+ price range, not a problem for quality power tools I suspect and a high number of reviewers and at least 4 star rating. 

If this is the case. This Amazon Niche is good to go!. 

(products, traffic, and people interested in it! and buyers online....game set and match my old son!. 

As you can see 634 products in the Power Tools niche that are priced $200+ and rated 4 start by reviewers. 

This data is easily obtained by using the options on the left hand side by selecting 4 stars and above and entering a minimum price range. 

That is exactly how you find your niche using Amazon. Just from the record, for the smart home niche - just repeat the process and find your particular segment in that market. It can legitimately be smart home appliances or, one that I particularly take a shining to - Smart Home Security Devices!. 

Now you know exactly How To Become An Affiliate Marketer For Amazon, how to leverage the online giant and find an awesome niche all you need to know now is the "how" 

As in...

"How To Be A Successful Affiliate Marketer". 

Not exactly the Million Dollar Question, quite literally tens of thousands maybe even hundreds of thousands of people just like you are earning affiliate commissions every single day. 

One of the best, most sustainable ways of doing so is by building a niche marketing site online and consistently over time building up and building out your niche site or blog and gaining organic traffic from search engines like google, bing and yahoo.

Fear Of Missing Out On Taking My FREE 7 Day Blogging Course May Lead To You A Melancholic State Of Infinite Sadness Due To Missing Out On The Opportunity To Change Your Life For Ever And For The Better, Leaving You With The Eternal State Of Mind Thinking "What If I Actually Built That Darn Blog!" 

Niche Site Marketing And Amazon

Creating a Niche site or a blog is as simple as choosing an interest or something you are passionate and creating a blog related to that topic. 

Or, 

If you so wish, reverse engineer amazon and find a niche following the exact steps that I showed you in this article, finding products to promote that your audience would love and creating targeted content around 6-8 recommended products. 

Simply show, in a helpful manner, your audience how to use such products, or they can get the most benefit from them. 

In the case of power tools - show your crowd what you can make using such power tool or how to get the best out of XYZ smart home security device (i,e how to install it or access it remotely!). 

Blogging is skill, or as I say a muscle that can be developed. And once you get into you can find yourself building up several semi passive niche marketing sites and either keeping them for yourself and employing other to create the content for you or sell the site off at a profit. 

You can also keep running such sites by yourself and pocket all the profits!.
