Amazon.com Easy Tip To Make Money (Secret, but obvious)

Hello Everyone,

I published a thread several months ago with a bunch of advice and thousands of people read it and thanked me for the feedback - it has since been closed (it's old). The free tip I'm sharing today is new and not something I shared before. It's also an obvious tip but I think some people are missing the boat so I want to tell you how I use it to make money.

(Short Bio: I make over $60k profit per year from Amazon.com. I quit my job last year and do this along with several other projects for a living now. So I'm just saying I know my stuff. )

Tip: Subscribe to every possible Amazon.com email newsletter service

Why? Three Reasons:

1. It's the best way to find products on sale related to your niche that you can in turn quickly and easily repost on your websites.

If you're writing deal posts and using Amazon.com to make these posts Amazon will start to automatically email you deals (as long as you subscribe to their email service)

2. You can get ideas for new niches to target

Watch the emails for the deals they're running. Generally speaking they only send out emails on hot products so if you see minimal competition for a product they mail out about you can get some good money.

3. Most Important: You can make more money by promoting new Amazon.com company deals

For Example: I got an email the other day from Amazon.com about their new watches store on endless.com. Nothing big right? Well, Amazon wants to get more people buying through it so they are offering 15% on products sold through the watches store. (Max is usually 8.5%)

Here's the email:

Why does this matter? Well, if you run a website that is even loosely related to watches now's a good time to tell people about it.

Here's the commission from a watch I referred last year during the Christmas shopping season:


So instead of getting $454 I could get $851.25 next time I sell a watch like that. Granted in the example above I sold it during 2009 though. But if I continued to promote through just Amazon.com I would be making half of what I could make if I just switched my links over to Endless.com during the increased commission time period.

The point is - finding good deals to promote and niches to get into can be tough, but be sure to follow every email from Amazon because there is a constant flow of good deals coming in especially on new Amazon.com projects / subsidiary companies.
