Today, I received email from Amazon for closing of my account for lack of sales (I got many clicks but only 1 sale). I want to reapply again sometimes later after adding more p
I'm with ShareASale where I found many great merchants to work with.
If I were you, I wouldn't help Amazon get sales without being rewarded for it. When I had to leave Amazon, I removed all their links: I'm not doing free advertising for them ;-)
If you search for you niche + affiliate programs, or your niche + partnerships, you'll find lots of companies to apply to. Or join an affiliate netwerk like ShareASale or one of the many others, where you can find multiple companies in one place.
Thank you BvVugt,
I also thinking the same and this is also a lesson for me to not just rely on just affiliate program. I have joined ShareASale, but with my niche, I do have lots of products to promote.
Anyway thank you for your suggestion and I need to work harder to find other programs using your suggested keyword.
Thank you again
I recommend that you check out Commission Junction. They partner with well-known brands, an advantage to you because potential buyers already know the brands.
You select those that are a fit for your niche.

There are dozens of alternatives, you just have to go up on Google and search for them. Let us say your niche was about Infant Car Seats. You would type into Google

Click on search and start researching the results to find a program and website you would like to work with.
Just type in your niche followed by the words affiliate programs and do a search.

What are other alternative to amazon associates?

There are many many affiliate programs with products you can promote.
That said, don't give up on Amazon. It kind of sucks to redo all your affiliate links when you reapply, and their commissions aren't great, but they're a huge retailer that millions of people trust. And prime members are likely to be searching Amazon for any products you recommend if you aren't linking to Amazon. Before I got into Affiliate Marketing, if I found a product on a blog sent to a different retailer, I would search Amazon for it anyway. It's just hugely convenient for me.
I link to whatever product that I need to, regardless of affiliate links. I got rejected the first time I applied for Barnes and Noble affiliate program, but I still needed to link to their ereaders. I plan on reapplying now that my site is more complete than before.
This is just my practice of dealing with things. It depends on your niche too. I do ereaders, so it's a bit necessary to be an Amazon Associate. But if you aren't promoting an Amazon product, you can try to sign up for the product's brand affiliate program, like say you're promoting Planners. Those fancy planners can be bought on their website and has more of a selection than Amazon has of their products.
This is personally my opinion. I try to help my readers so if I don't have an affiliate program and can't find one elsewhere for that product, I still link it.
You want to reapply to Amazon Associates soon. You do have 180 days to make 3 sales and if you already made one, you're doing well and might hit the 3 sales soon, even starting over. Just don't forget to change your affiliate links :)
Thank you for your lengthy comments and sharing me your thought, knowledge and experience. I really learn a lot from you. My niche is home organization, so I also thought Amazon have wide ranges of products that are suitable for my niche.
Selenityjade, I really appreciate your opinion and would not give up with Amazon. Thank you again for your support.
I definitely understand its frustrating! And I would be affiliated with more than just Amazon, definitely. Just don't get discouraged. You will get there. :)

What are the things you need to check so you understand either your blog are doing good or not? when and where to check them?
What kind of performance are we talking about? Traffic? Site Speed? Every basic tool you need is mentioned in the training.
Thanks for the answer. I understand about it. Just wonder, is that all I need to check for my website?
If you have your own domain name, I'd recommend setting up Google's Webmaster Tools. This actually is something I used to use a lot and will start again shortly since I just got reengaged in affiliate marketing.

Hi Eric, I have registered my website on google console. But I did not really understand the graphs and report. May I know where I can learn about it?
What type of blog are you referring to. The ones you are posting on WA or on your website?
