Is it really possible to make money with Amazon? Yes, it definitely is; some affiliates earn 4-5 figure monthly incomes with the Amazon Affiliate program. The Amazon Affiliate program is legitimate business model and is definitely not a scam for those of you out there wondering. If you go to amazon.com, you can sign up as an Amazon affiliate and start driving traffic. If someone clicks on your link and purchases a product on Amazon, you get paid; it’s as simple as that, it’s extremely basic to the point that anyone can really do it, it just takes some time and effort.

There is a simple formula on how the Amazon Affiliate program works:

Review Site + Targeted Traffic = Money

That’s really how it works with Amazon affiliates make money. You need to have a nice review site that pre-sells your targeted visitors that you get from search engines and that’ll translate into money for you when they buy something from clicking through your link and being redirected to Amazon; you earn commission as an Amazon affiliate.

To get started you need to do some market research and find some products to promote. This is an extremely important step to becoming a successful Amazon affiliate. You want to find products that people want to buy and have a decent pay-out. Here are a couple tips on finding good products to promote as an Amazon affiliate:

Go to Amazon and browse their categories for best sellers in the $150 price range
The product should have lots of positive reviews (instant social proof); this will increase conversions

Once you find a product to promote, the next step as an Amazon affiliate is to build your review site. You can use Wordpress platform, its easy to use, easy to install and good for search engine rankings. You also have to get your own hosting account and register a domain name. The next thing you want to do is write your reviews on the product so people will be more likely to buy it.

After that you need to get backlinks for your site so it can rank for SEO. If you dont have any links for your site, it isn't going to rank in search engines, leading to no traffic, therefore earning no money as an Amazon affiliate. You can start with article marketing by writing a few articles and link them back to your review pages. Writing press releases works really well as well. When you have a well ranked site, youre well on your way to making money as an Amazon affiliate.

Im going to talk to you about setting up an effective Amazon affiliate website so you can monetize Amazons Affiliate program to its full potential. Theres no big secret to how to make sales on the internet. What you need to do is put buyers in contact with sellers. In this case were going to act as an Amazon affiliate and what we need to do is find hot, selling products and then we need to find people that are looking to buy those hot, selling products and put them together; that all starts with research.

One of the great things about being an Amazon affiliate is that they've already done the product research for you as far as hot, selling products are concerned. They list them for you; you can just pick a category. For instance if you want to sell something to do with electronics, you go into that category and pick something. Lets say you choose to sell phone and services. You click on that and within there you will find subcategories so you have phones with service, accessories, unlocked phones, etc. As an Amazon affiliate, you can see which items are bestsellers in each subcategory. Amazon will also disclose how many days that item has been on the top 100 sellers. The what to sell part as an Amazon affiliate is pretty easy; what you do is find a category you want to target first. Then pick anything in particular that you want to sell (best sellers).

Before you can set up you Amazon affiliate website, you need to get a web address by purchasing a domain name and youll also need a hosting account to upload your website to. There are a bunch of different registrars you can use like Go Daddy. Another thing you need to decide is if youre going to be hanging onto these sites or if you want to sell the site at some point down the line. If you want to sell your Amazon affiliate sites, youre going to want to have a new domain name for each sire; if youre going to hang onto the site or want to sell them all at once, you can register a single domain a general purpose domain. You want your domain name to be relative to what youre going to be promoting as an Amazon affiliate because this will help with search engine optimization. Once you've done that youll need hosting, which you can get from Host Gator which lets you host multiple domains.

Once you have a domain name and hosting, youre all ready to install your site and you can do this with Wordpress. Wordpress is extremely easy to install and has a bunch of plug-ins that help with SEO. Its also very easy to get your Amazon affiliate site up and running with Wordpress. Youre then going to want to install Wordpress plug-ins for your Amazon affiliate site to help your site rank in the search engine listings.

When you have your Amazon affiliate website up and running you then need to get Amazon products onto it. Youre going to need to sign up with their associate program, which is completely free. I suggest putting up some of Amazons content onto your site and redirecting your customers back to Amazon to purchase the item theyre interested in. Being an Amazon affiliate can be very profitable if you do it the right way. Make sure your Amazon affiliate website has a lot of great content and is getting a lot of traffic; once you have these things down, youre well on your way to becoming a successful Amazon affiliate.

I have a review site with about 200 Amazon links.

Not one single sale. That's with 600-900 uniques/day

Lots of click-throughs, though. So Amazon certainly benefits!

Three things why I prefer Amazon Affiliate program is:

1. Amazon is a trusted Brand

2. People Buy More than One Item

3. Easy Setup

It's very helpful to me, and I'm working on this affiliate now.

Thank you but in my opinion we have to build lots of sites to earn significant money from Amazon because its rate to the maximum is 10%. Currently I am making money from it - not much though. I get payment every other month from Amazon. I hope to do better soon.

* But this thing surprised me most -NO REFUND. I haven't encountered a single refund in the sales of 100's of products. Amazon is amazing.

No, the person is telling truth.....

I have also an Amazon.in review site, the conversion rate is very low, below 1%. I doubt that the program is cheating.....

While Amazon.com is very trusted in terms of affiliate earnings........
