Amazon Affiliate Marketing for Beginners - It all starts here

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

One of the simplest affiliate programs is the Amazon Associates program. This blog is about Amazon affiliate marketing for beginners. And it works for beginners. Here was my first successful month:

First, what makes the Amazon associates program one of the simplest ways to get into affiliate marketing? It is the fact that Amazon has hundreds of thousands of products. And in nearly any category you can imagine.

No matter what your niche, you will likely find great products to share on Amazon.

Many affiliate marketers stress that Amazon's payouts are quite low. Compared with other options this is true.

However, the sheer volume of products on Amazon makes Amazon affiliate marketing for beginners simple. A great way to start. It means you can find almost any product to share. And all in one place.

So. How do you start?

You have taken the first step. By being right here on the Wealthy Affiliate platform.

Ready to put this into action?

Start your free journey today — no credit card required.

If you are not yet a member, click the green "Create a Free Account" button to join. It's on the top right.

This will give you access to 20 free lessons on web marketing.

Ten of the 20 lessons are on marketing in any niche. These are under the green "Get Started Here" button. On the left.

These are the lessons you want to take. If you plan on Amazon affiliate marketing for beginners.

It will lead you through step-by-step. From choosing a niche to finding keywords to creating great website content.

This is truly the key to success in affiliate marketing. I tried affiliate marketing through Amazon for 12 years before I made any money at all.

The thing that held me back was the lack of quality content targeting what Kyle calls "low-hanging-fruit" keywords.

But I'm getting ahead of myself. If you have not yet, create your free account now. Click "Create a Free Account" on the top right. Then take the first 10 lessons free.

After that, if you are serious about making money with Amazon affiliate marketing for beginners, you will want to try out a premium account here, which amounts to $1 or $2 a day.
