How To Make Money As An Affiliate With Amazon!
Who was the founder of Amazon? I didn't know until I googled the question and here is what I found when I searched google and found the Wikipedia explanation...drum roll...I present...(he must keep a low profile...I've never heard of him! :)

A brand for a company is like a reputation for a person. You earn reputation by trying to do hard things well.
There are two kinds of companies, those that work to try to charge more and those that work to charge less. We will be the second.
What an amazing man! He has built an empire starting with nothing in his garage and now he has a company alleged to be the largest online retail marketer on the planet!
A very important thing to note...IT'S FREE TO BECOME AN AMAZON ASSOCIATED!
I am going to make some references to a person call Chris Guthrie... you can google the term to find out all about him.
Making money as an Affiliate for Amazon is something Chris Guthrie has perfected as an art! He has been interviewed many times, with many journalists trying to find out his secrets as to how he hs become so successful with his company... AMAZON!
Others have listened very carefully to what Chris has had to say and applied it to their own affiliate marketing programs. Those who have followed his lead have gone on to become very successful with what they do in the Amazon Associates Program.
There are all kinds of affiliate marketing programs online that you can choose from, but one of the best if not the best, is Amazon. The best thing about Amazon, you can choose to sell thousands of products that are directly associated with your niche. And you don't even need a website. (More about that in another post).
There is a multitude of categories to choose from! Simply put, you should never have a problem trying to find a niche! It’s easy to find products... then when you market these products, the buyer finds your website and your visitor clicks through and lands on Amazon, there is a very high likelihood that they will complete the purchase. Why? Because Amazon has worked hard to create trust in the marketplace, and they have been extremely successful at doing this.
Consumers need to have this kind of trust with the knowledge they have in order to complete a purchase. Especially true these days because there has been so much fraud online that people searching the internet are becoming far more cautious when it comes to parting with their money.
You must ensure you place affiliate ads in the appropriate place to achieve the click through rate you need for them to land on your site. Your blog or website needs to have relevant and interesting content that your visitor wants to read, and hopefully, they will remain on your site where they are far more likely to click on the links you provide.
The product you are selling needs to match the content you are providing. In other words, you need to stay in the same niche. I covered this topic in a previous post. You can include text links within your content if they are relevant. It's a good idea to actually take the time to tell your visitors why you think this product is worth their money. Build confidence in what you have to say and what you have to offer. Along with this will come trust in your credibility because you're honest with your visitors.
