Amazon Super Affiliate

It Starts with Joining Amazon Associates

Amazon Associates is Amazon’s affiliate marketing program.

Once you’ve joined Amazon Associates, you can promote any Amazon product and earn an affiliate commission when someone buys that product through your affiliate link.

But here’s the great thing. If while they’re on Amazon, they buy any other product, you collect the affiliate commission on that sale as well.

Compared to other platforms, Amazon commissions are low but…

  1. The trust factor is high. Visitors have no hesitation buying through Amazon and
  2. You can sell high-ticket items, such as an espresso coffee machine for $600 or a high-end set of golf clubs for $1,330, which will yield substantial commissions.

To become an Amazon affiliate, go to Amazon.com Associates Central and sign up.

Scroll down and click on the Sign up button.

You’ll be asked to sign in with your Amazon account credentials. This links your affiliate account with your normal Amazon account, which allows you to find Amazon products and immediately download the links to promote them. It’s a great feature.

If you don’t have a normal Amazon account, you can create one now.

Sign in with your normal Amazon account credentials or create and account if you don’t have one.

Great training, Phil. The way you outlined the process made it easy for anyone including me on how to get started with and to be approved with Amazon Associate.

Though I have not started yet to promote anything on my website but this made it easy for when am ready. I'll definitely come back to the training.

A quick question: As my site has not much traffic will I be accepted if I applied for Amazon program?

Thanks, Christiana. Amazon will look at your website to make sure it's suitable but traffic doesn't come into it.

Another great training, Phil and I do appreciate the visuals. I’m not a big fan of the company but should I ever decide to try with them again, I’ll definitely refer to this. Much appreciated as always.

Thanks, Susan. I agree with you on Amazon, but if there's money to be made...

Phil, awesome training. I have not yet signed up to be an Amazon Affiliate yet. For almost four years I avoided using them. Now that I know more from this training. You walked us through it step by step with visual images. That is helpful. I learn better by following visuals in photos or a video. Thanks for this valuable walkthrough. I am thinking about signing up but I kept putting it off because commissions got cut three years ago which made me not motivated to follow through with this. As you stated best are high-ticket products. 🙄 duh now I get it. I missed out on that one. I lacked the understanding of how it works. Your training is making me more motivated to think about signing up. Thank you, Phil, as usual, you always provide value for us!

I forgot to ask can you show us the PA API as explained by Diane Scorpio?

Thanks for the appreciation, Brenda. Yes, I find training images of huge benefit.

I'm still researching the PA API and will add it to the training when I can.

Hi Phil - great training as usual, and I have bookmarked it to refer others to it.

However, it does imply that you can copy and paste or screenshot customer reviews, and you can't do that unless you use their PA API tool.

"You will not display or otherwise use any of our customer reviews or star ratings, in part or in whole, on your Site unless you have obtained a link to that customer review or star rating through PA API"

Cheers!

Thanks, Diane. I've done that in the past with no issues at all but I will follow up on the PA API tool.

Hi Diane, I have been right through Amazon Associate's TOS and Privacy Policy both without finding the clause you quoted. Could you point me more specifically to it, please?

@DianeScorpio
Wow, you must have read all that very thoroughly, Diane. It sure is buried. The PA API isn't really a possibility as it's an SDK requiring coding and would be outside the skillset of most WA members. I'll change the advice in this training as a result. Humbling, but thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Yes, they don't make it easy!

I doubt that most people use the PA API, or would even know to apply for it.

Cheers!

I started with Amazon Associates some time back and stopped.

I stopped because Amazon only gives you; I think it was 60 days to make your first sale and then close your account, and all your links are not valid any. You can apply again and start again.

I did not make any sales, so I stopped using Amazon.
Can You please clarify if I got it right or wrong?

Kindest Regards

Elke

You have 180 days to make your first three sales, so it's actually pretty generous.

If your account gets closed, you can open a new one immediately and use a plugin to globally update your affiliate ids.

To me, the trick is to produce good review sites (which I cover in this training) for high-end-products and then promote them.

Make constant sales of products worth thousands and the commissions mount up.

Thank You, Phil,

I will go and do what you advise; I did not know there was a plugin to change the Amazon affiliate links.

This makes things much more straightforward.

I will find a product, write an extensive review, and then try to promote it.

Thank you for all the advice, and I keep you posted on how I go.

Kindest Regards

Elke

Lovely, Elke. Good luck with it.

The plugin I'm talking about isn't specific to Amazon affiliate links. It's just a global search and replace that you can use on your website to find something and replace it with something else.

Always wise to backup your site first.

Hi Phil, I don't` use Amazon anymore as someone I know, who ordered through me, was let down badly by them. So, I replaced all Amazon links with eBay. Have a great day.

That's unfortunate, Brian. Most people who order through Amazon report a positive experience.

Hi Phil, this particular order was for my 8-year-old nephew. Ordered a fancy dress costume for his school day but, Amazon let me down right at the last moment, leaving my nephew to go to school in school uniform while everyone else was in costume, made my blood boil.

Yep, that sort of experience can really put you off, particularly when there's a child involved.
