Remember the last time i had suggested everyone of you to sign-up with the Amazon Associates Program? From the past 2-3 months I started trying out their options and looking into ways to earn money from their program. Exactly the last month I started linking to the referral links and also display their banners on our different blogs. Before you start doing this, my advice would be to first understand your traffic and ensure that if you get major traffic from US, then only this would lead to good number of conversions.
Once you login to your Amazon Associates you will be given an option to Search for products and generate the Affiliate Links for the same. I have added a small screenshot below which can make you understand this easily.
The code which is given is the direct link which you need to embed or link to, in order to earn commissions. There are many ways of promoting, but the ones which generally work are either Manual linking from your content or else using the Omakase Widgets because these would display products on your sites which are completely related to your content.
Now back to the Sales report as promised earlier, you can find the total number of Orders, clicks, CTR & Shipped Items. Amazon would pay you only when the products are shipped to the customers and the revenue slabs are based on the total shipped items.
The reports clearly show that there is an average of around 20 Orders / day while the difference of Orders & Shipped products would be actually shipped in the following month. There may be other reasons also like products are in Pre-Order which is why the shipping would not have been done. If you keep linking to the most related and useful deals, the chances of getting conversions increase.
Do let me know if you have any questions around the Amazon Associates Program and I would try my best to help you out.
Amazon associates is working fine for me, but need to concentrate on it a bit more to improve the conversions. Awaiting your ideas & valuable suggestions on the same. Thanks in advance.
I’ve been using Amazon products links on my blog after your suggestion, 2 months so far and there were no products sold. BUt what I realized that I need to improve my traffic and currently am getting 40% of my visits from US countries with 70% Bounce rate. I think Bounce rate is the reason for no product sale.
Nice to see that much of sales brother. But I didn’t see the earnings from those sales…Anyway if reveal the blog which make that much of sales then it would be easy to follow making money with amazon concept.
Its not any specific blog, i add links on the normal blog posts and those do convert well.
Nice to know that normal blog posts make you this much for you. great Amit.
Amazon Associates is a very popular program – especially for website/blog owners. Amazon has a large selection of products for you to choose from – everything from cute sandals to iPads, from romance novels to camcorders, from blu-ray DVDs to china cabinets.
The great thing about Amazon is that they have variety of merchandise. I’m planning to promote Amazon products on my website.
Thanks for sharing an inspiring article.
Sir, I am getting around 250-300 visitors from US per day…
so will it be good to sign up for amazon affiliates??
Yes why not you can still expect a few sales per month.
Hey Amit,
I am using Amazon from 1 month I just want to know what is the best way for conversion. A widget or normal post work? Please share your opinion
Hi,
Wow ! It’s really amazing and most awaited.
We would be glad and more thankful to you if you share the tips and tricks being used by you.
Anyhow, Well done bro ! Keep rocking 🙂
Yep will do the same!
Thanks a lot for your response 🙂
That is fantastic, Amit. Nice to see you blogging here again. Hope you never stop that.

10% rise in USD against INR is also taking a toll on USD Revenues.
good word dude .. how much amount did you earned from them ???
Cannot share that but its not bad if you still earn $2 / sale around!
great dude ..
As you already own big blogs you made sales. I make many sales per month. 20-30 sales. I am just going reach 1st 100$ from amazon in next month.
Yep you can expect increase in the same too.
How we will get payments from amazon? They send cheque in $$$’s. So, how many days and conversion of money will happen in rs. Any idea. As if now i am on $92 and 101 item shipped.
You need to wait for the items to be shipped and then the following month Amazon would send you a revenue report and issue the payments.
Hi Amit,
I am planning to be an Amazon Affiliate. However, they make payments by 2 methods:
1. Direct Deposit – Only for US people
2. Checks – Your commission should be above $100 for this and 15% get cut on this, so we essentially will earn $85 check when we earn $100 commission.
This is my understanding.. Is this true?
Yep right!
I have also recently joined Amazon associate program, lets see if my luck works. Hey Amit what happened to techadvices.com. You have again returned back to the same domain. Now a days you are no more active on this blog, what happened?
Yep back to original blog because readers believe it more.
Great dude… keep it up..
I tried flipkart associate program at my blog. Was getting good CTR but no conversion. Will try this amazon affiliate for sure. Good info.. Thanks….
I actually used amazon on one of my movie site which was getting daily 10k visits and I was getting only 2-3 sales. It was quite low for me So I removed. then I put some affliate from plimus which as movie subscription and I was getting daily 10 sale and was getting 30$ for each sale. 🙂 That site was hit by panda.
Which product you were promoting through plimus?
hey .. that is what he told as movie site .. it should be movie website & products …
this question is to Mihir : is it 10k visits or 10k pageviews ?? how much you are earning now with how many page views dude ??
thanks in advance ..
Amazon need targetted traffic. If you target amazon products…you will make tons of money. So, slapping amazon products to indian website make no sense. Because indian don’t allowed to buy from amazon US & UK. So, make targets. Next year i will make $50k in one month from amazon.
great work dude .. is it 10k visits or 10k pageviews ?? how much you are earning now with how many page views dude ??
thanks in advance ..
Cannot disclose the traffic as of now.
thanks bro .. that question was not to u .. any way i am very curious to know the total pageviews from all of your 44 websites ! ! !
Cannot disclose that too!
if you have the good traffic then only you can earn from amazon
Not really, depends on your audience actually.

Sounds Cool !! Extremely one more motivating Article 😀
Hi amit you write very informative articles. But avery strange thing i find on this blog is there is no contact forum of no social sharing buttons on articles. have you lost faith in twitter or facebook or some other strategy. I can not belive that a blogger of you experience can do this by mistake
i’m try with it….
Yeah that’s pretty much helpful when you are not having your own product but still want a sales report 😀
Do they pay for Just displaying Banners?
Good work. Motivational too. Most of us think of only Adsense. But this is a good idea! Will try.
Hi Amit,
Can I start a blog related to my website for the affiliate marketing.
Thank you in advance.
Administrator,
nifty20twenty.com
well you told 581 products but may I know how much you get cash from those sells. and can we promote our amazon store with fb and adwords ppc?
thanks in advance
I use Amazon quiet few of my blogs. But they don’t work with Indian traffic. Thank god that now Flipkart has opened their affiliate program. I am going to try that. Also i have heard about Junglee’s affiliate program (which is Indian branch of Amazon).
Lifeblood of any online business including affiliate marketing is traffic. Once you have good traffic coming to your website, there are countless number of ways to make money. And amazon affiliate program is certainly among the best. But getting traffic is not everybody’s cup of tea. Like every other business online or offline, it needs lot of hardwork, persistence, patience and time. If it was easy, everyone would do it, right? It is simple, anyone can do it. But not easy. Not everyone can achieve great results. I am into amazon affiliate marketing since more than two years. I have only earned $200 till date. But I am not giving up. I know the potential is unlimited in this business. So I am continuing the hardwork. Wish me luck.
Its amazing to see how you have been doing so well. I hope it happens with me soon!
I tried the Amazon Affiliate program some time back, but with no result. My traffic was 1500+ pageviews/day at that time. Now I want to try it again. Can you tell me how can I get affiliate links to Windows 8 pre order items?

THANK YOU FOR INFORMATION REALLY I STARTED AMZON .COM
