Do You Make Money From Amazon Associates?

20 replies
I just wanted to see if there are any people from warrior forum making money promoting products from Amazon.

I personally made about $20k this month in commissions. I do this mainly from review sites. They always make a lot more money around Christmas.

How do you personally promote products from amazon and how much do you make?

    Hi Matt,

    Well, I won't reveal how much I make, but I do very nicely.

    I started out by building review sites aimed at 1 to 3 products. I soon learned that single product sites worked best for me. Over the past 2 years, though, I've developed more of an interest in authority sites on a single subject and used those as a platform to promote the amazon products. These require more effort, money, time, but the payouts are working out better than my smaller review sites.

      Do you get your traffic from the search engines?

        I'm pretty much a traffic addict! I get it wherever I can, as long as it's ethical.

          Could you please be a little bit more specific? Is it social media, forums, Google, pinterest, paid advertising?

    If you are making $20,000 in Amazon commissions in a month then I would stick with whatever you are doing now. I have only heard of a couple of people making this sort of money with the Amazon Affiliate Program.

    I made $10 so far from Amazon with a niche site I setup a few years back. I haven't looked at it after that since I work mainly on the MMO IM niches.

      is easy to get sales IF you post in forums , or go to those review site just post your affiliate links...provided the admin of the site didn't mind or never check ...


      BUT amazon will know can close your account...

      I heard many stories....people earn few k and just know their account close ...due to breaking the regulations , rules set by amazon associates..


      also in your site have to declare you are promoting amazon ...

    Matt, to be clear, when you say you make $20k in commissions, do you mean from sites OTHER than Amazon or FROM Amazon?

    Thanks.

    Wow - 20K is stupendous.

    Personally, I don't like working for 7% commissions, but that's just me.

            nope

            I mean yesterday happen to browse one site ...

            also selling amazon stuff

            I noticed the banner at the side ..is from amazon itself..

            but the banner don't have any amazon logo or amazon words

            Only display the products images...when you click the product , it will direct exactly the product amazon selling page.

            I believe the banner itself is from amazon ...as we know there is one section to create widgets etc..stuffs.

            just that I play around ..seem like all banners will have the amazon workings
            how this fellow do it?

            or maybe I miss one part ...inside the amazon section...banner link.cannot find the section to custom your banner?

    Well, it is very easy to customize a banner if you are a graphic designer or you can pay someone to do it.

      Google is my main traffic source.
