Reasons I became an Amazon Associate

As far back as the 5th of July, 1994 (About 24 years back), Amazon started operation as one of the very few online marketing brands. In 1996, its affiliate program was fully launched.

The affiliate marketing network became an internationally-recognized online marketing platform in the online world and has now become one of the largest affiliate marketing platforms in the industry today. As at last year (2017), its operating income was $4.106 billion. So, it has a worthwhile capital base and a great earning potential for all affiliate marketers in all the parts of the world.

A fascinating thing about the Amazon affiliate program is that it has a wide disposition of products that match almost all niches. So, it's rare for anyone to say he could not find a product in the Amazon retail stores that matches his own blog niche. That's rare.
