Becoming An Amazon Associate

So you're thinking of becoming an Amazon Associate but unsure how. Well thankfully for you I'll be able to keep this short, sweet and to the point in about six hundred or so words. I will lead with a disclaimer I am not affiliated with Amazon nor am I being endorsed to write this post, now that we got that out of the way let’s begin. The first step of course is to just begin, literally that easy. Start up your local web browser or type into your Google search bar on your phone “Amazon Associates LogIn” that’s it or you can go to https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/. Hint if you happen to use Google then your link should be your second on the list scrolling down. Secondly you will want to create an account, now no worries, if you already have an Amazon account for shopping for all your favorite people or even just yourself you can use your personal account to set up shop. After you log in and have created your profile you are already ninety percent of the way done. You will see that Amazon will let you know that you have to have at least three separate sales within a one hundred and eighty day period. I hope you are still following along because step 3 involves linking your bank account which after entering your bank info you will be set up to get paid. The final step is choosing your products and what you are able to sell, and what your commission will be on each product. As far as the items you are able to sell, well fortunately you have the entire Amazon store at your disposal, the best part is no drop shipping or sending out packages or even handling any product whatsoever. As I stated this is one hundred percent free to sign up for, free to get links and free to sell and all you have to do is copy and paste links. Now after you have signed up for the Amazon Associate you will have the option in the mobile app to share your Associate’s code or a regular code, word to the wise share your Associate’s code every time, Amazon tracks your clicks through that link as well as any items bought off of that link whether it was the item shared or not. If you are not in the mobile app and you are signed into the website via your mobile browser or web browser on your laptop or desktop, then all you have to do is search for the item you would like a code for. When you have your item picked then you will have a few different options for links. You have standard HTML links, as well as shortened versions of the same link. There are also links to work into your line of source code for all my website builders and coders. Once you have the links it’s all up to your imagination on how you would like to keep earning your money. You can share the links with family and friends or if you are even the slightest bit tech savvy, and really who isn’t nowadays then you can set up your own website or use a website builder from the many online that you can use. I advise doing your very own research to decide which option is best for you. But that’s about all there is to it folks. So in a short summary wrapping it all up, search or copy and paste the link in this piece to your web browser or typing into Google, create an account, link your bank account and share links. It's that easy folks. I hope you enjoyed my first piece in the help section, if you enjoyed this shoot me a message. I aim to do more pieces like this sharing tips and tricks to how I am able to work remotely and at my own pace doing what I love and enjoying all the time I can with my family.
