Your application has been accepted and you have been issued with an Amazon affiliate id.
You are now able to sell Amazon products and collect an affiliate commission.
Click the Now button to provide Amazon with how you wish to get paid and with the necessary US tax information. This will be different, depending on your country of residence.
Just work through it.
You will also receive a confirmation email from Amazon.
Note that
- You must make 3 sales within 180 days in order to keep your account. If this doesn't happen, you can apply again and get a new Amazon affiliate id, but will then have to update any existing links that you have placed on your website and
- Your site is still subject to manual review by Amazon, so make sure you abide by their rules.

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.

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?

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?

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.

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.
