Bonus Tip #1: Split Test Everything

I gave out quite a few tips that have worked FOR ME. These tips may not necessarily apply to you. I highly recommend you keep track of ALL your changes and monitor click through rates, earnings, and commissions. Save copies of your previous work so you can revert to an old version if needed!

Bonus Tip #2: Get to Work!

It's easy to get sucked into tutorials and other people's stories. I know I spend a lot of time reading and not enough time doing. Take action and get to work!

Bonus Tip #3: Try Not to Investigate the Things People Buy

Amazon lets you see the products that people buy. Unfortunately, there are some, how can I put this delicately, INTERESTING products that people order through Amazon. I didn't know Amazon even sold some of this stuff to be honest. It really is a marketplace for everything.
Well, that's everything I have to offer. Feel free to share some tips in the comments section. Thanks for taking the time to read!

Informative for sure but leaves me at a loss. I do not understand this " review" thing. How do you review products? Are you actually reviewing something you used or are you speaking of simply placing content off of Amazon ?
Is this blog the main part of the affiliate marketing or is there a way to do this with a normal website that sells product with no blogging ?

Thanks for the great tips! I'm curious for a further explanation on bonus tip #3, I was brainstorming that researching what sells the best on Amazon could lead to a blog with higher conversion ratios (since the items are already selling well on Amazon). All while keeping it within a certain niche.

I just started a new blog where I was trying to use products from Amazon. But because my blog is new and not enough content (I only have 3 articles so far) Amazon rejected my application. although the first day, I had already made some money. Pity, I guess I'll keep writing and see if they'll accept me later

Once you have some content on your site and some traffic coming in, they will approve you.

I have been a bit confused with amazon lately Steve, so I would highly appreciate if you could help me with this.

See, my earning depends on the affiliate programs entirely and when it comes to amazon I only can direct traffic by referring books, I hardly earn any money with that because commissions for books are the lowest. I still want to do it, but I am a bit unwilling to add too many affiliate links to my site.

That was very informative. I 'm not sure how to ask this question, but how does it work if there's http://amazon.ca and http://amazon.com. I'm in Canada, so how would I sign up for the affiliate program with amazon (.com or .ca)? Let's say I put an ad for a juicer and someone from USA happens to go on my page and click on the link. Will they want to get out of there (.ca) to go on http://amazon.com instead, possibly losing my commission?

Amazon is the same everywhere.
I've spoken with Amazon and they checked my links...you can go either way. You will not lose sales.

You have to sign up with both sites and get affiliate id's from both and then use a plugin (or code yourself but I don't know how) so that when they click on your link they will be directed to the appropriate country's store. I would like to know how to do this manually myself actually instead of relying on a plug in.

Yes, the Plug-In is not required. There are different types of links. I will share one link and if you need more help, just ask.
