The Amazing Amazon Associates Program

By Abraham Joseph


Affiliate marketing is one of the best ways to monetize a website or blog. Understanding the in's and outs, and using smart promotion tactics can help you be more successful and make more sales. Three excellent ways to promote products without a hard sell are through reviews, tutorials or testimonials.



One of the best things about selling for amazon is that it is a very trusted business, most people have used it in the past and already have an account. So buying from them isn't new or an idea they need to get used to. Because users see amazon as a trusted site, it makes selling that much easier.

For example, did you know that Swarovski designs a special Christmas ornament every year? Well Amazon is already promoting Swarovski's range of 'annual limited additions' which is just one example of how you can keep up to date with merchandize.

Tutorials are another great way to sell a product without being pushy or hard-selling. Creating an instructional video on youtube, in pdf form, or even an ebook, is a great way to show the user what the product has to offer and how it can help them. This will drive more sales and drive your commission up in the process.

With all this variety, it makes it easy to choose offers to promote. A simple coffee website, for example, can include pages with everything Amazon sells that has to do with the humble bean. This includes whole coffee beans, ground beans, coffee machines and coffee makers, even accessories like coffee pots and coffee creamers.

All you need to do is to sign up for their Amazon Associates Program, choose the products you want to promote and get their link onto your website. You can earn at least 4% on Amazon products you promote. You can even earn money for qualified referrals.
