Amazon Associates - Affiliate Income

Amazon Associates is one of the oldest and longest running affiliate programs on the Web. The basic idea behind the Amazon program is that you provide links or advertisements that link to books or other products on the Amazon website. For example if you have a website that includes information and tutorials about creating PowerPoint presentations, you could add a link to books about PowerPoint(Microsoft® Office PowerPoint® 2007 Step by Step (Step By Step (Microsoft)), that when a reader clicks on, goes to the Amazon page that sells the book or projector. The link is coded with information about you, the affiliate. If the visitor who clicked on your link buys a book or a projector or any product that you link to from your website, Amazon pays you a small commission on the sale.

On my GuidesandTutorials website, I recently sold an LCD projector for $682.36. As an Amazon Associate they paid me a 4% commission of $27.29 for referring the customer to their site.

Optoma HD65 720p DLP Home Theater Projector - $682.36 @ 4.00% = $27.29

Signing up as an Amazon Associate

Signing up for the Amazon Associates program is easy.

1. Go to https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/, click the "Join now for Free!" button, and then log in with your email and password.

 

To join the Amazon Associates program, you need to be an Amazon customer. If you aren't, click "I am a new customer" to create an account.

 

2. Enter your personal information and your Website information and complete the rest of the registration process.

For your personal information, you'll need to supply your name, address, phone number.

3. Enter your website information

For your website information, you'll need to supply a Website name, URL, and a brief description. Provide accurate information here and don't do this until your website is mostly finished because someone from Amazon will take a quick look at your site before they approve you as an Amazon Associate.

 

4. Click "Finish" to submit your application.

After you submit your application, you'll receive a confirmation message that approves you as an Amazon Associate on a trial basis. This email will also include your unique Associate ID. This ID is important, because it is the single piece of information you need to add to all of your Amazon links to start earning commissions. Once you have this Affiliate ID, you can begin using the Amazon Associate tools to create links and ads for your website.

After someone from Amazon visits and confirms your website, you'll receive a second email which will confirm you as an Amazon Associate.

In the next article, you'll learn how to begin creating Amazon Associate links for your website.
