We all hear today bad news about amazon change it's policy by reduce commissions rate cut for most categories, some product categories will see drops of more than 50% percent, which huge difference that will affect owner of bloggers and businesses that depends on amazon affiliate program.

This will make us stop and re-think about current business, and re-evaluate in order to make a big step changes to the diversity of affiliate programs your actually using.

For me I have fitness niche that depends on Amazon Affiliate program, which this month I start seeing some result, cause people locked down homes, and they are seeking to keep & promote their health and fitness as possible during Covid-19 Quarantine, which I shocked today that commission rate reduced from 4.5% down into 1% ??? I mean I almost have revenue from any product selling, with this rate change, nothing left to site promoter to gain or win!!

I post this article for the purpose to keep it as a timeline history in my progress, and to remember of what happen during 2020 Year.

Finally My question to you, in order so we can learn from each other:

A) Do you promote Amazon Affiliate product?

B) Do you still think to keep promoting amazon after apply new policy rate?

C) What is your plan to overcome this issue?

Wishes for you great success,

Thank You,
