The Truth About Amazon Affiliate Marketing
So we can all admit everywhere we look anymore we see and hear about “amazon affiliate marketing” or amazon associates program, right? Right. Are you considering about starting an amazon affiliate site? Establishing an extremely reputable brand? Or maybe you’re considering drop shipping? Maybe you want to learn and get into affiliate marketing? How about promoting amazon products through – product reviewing? Well lets break this all down and be “real” and “honest” about this touchy topic that everyone is talking about – “amazon affiliate marketing”. This post isn’t going to be a step by step process like show you exactly how to apply the strategies, the proven methods, not even the tips and tricks – because there’s already a lot of content and videos already online that will show you everything step by step on how it ALL works..
Our goal is to point you in the right direction with just the basics – so that you can become a successful affiliate as well as go into depth about understanding what it really takes to really become an “Amazon Affiliate”.
There’s so much content and videos right now online about “affiliate marketing” and to be 100% honest – a lot of the information is wrong and misleading on the process or everything that you will NEED to get started with affiliate marketing.. Which in most cases 90% of the time, the beginners that are wanting to get started and learn that are “brand new” – they end up “joining an online “TRAINING” course” of some sort and in return “the owner of that course” shows you “step by step” on how everything works, and what to do and how to apply all the strategies, tips, and secrets…
Beware of doing this and just be careful – because these types of courses are strictly designed for you to “sign up” for “additional” products and services and when you do this “that person who is going to teach you or train you” – their getting paid a commission, every time you sign up for a new product and/or new service within their “said training course” – this is called “affiliate links” and it’s a great sales tactic unfortunately. Being an honest affilate and promoting products and services the right way – there isn’t anything wrong about promoting and/or advertising to “make money in return” on any online platform. There’s just the right way to go about it, and then there’s the wrong way to go about it..
MISLEADING INFORMATION
So you sign up for the amazon affiliate program and if you believe that you’re going to start a free website or create a sales page and/or a landing page, an email listing, post some Facebook Ads or maybe you think you can join a digital products website and start posting affiliate links on Pinterest or start promoting products on Facebook, TikTok, Landing Page, Sales Page, and start generating money and sales and that’s it? YOU’RE MISTAKENLY WRONG…
Lets be dead serious for a minute and get straight to the point.. If you’re honestly considering doing “anything” with “amazon affiliate marketing” or any type of affiliate marketing and you have zero experience with…
web design/building, understanding web pages and how to manage them, google keywords, google AdSense, Facebook advertising, learning CRO campaigns, writing articles/blog content about the niche/product that you’re promoting, SEO management, paid traffic, adding affiliate links properly to the website and/or ADS, mastering and the use of a landing page/sales page, understanding email listing, naming your product or products, coming up with a catchy website name and/or brand name, obtaining a website logo, mastering and understanding other affiliate programs, mastering backlinks, creativity, writing skills, creative writing, management skills like managing your website and the product Facebook page, TikTok page, Instagram page and ALL ads, creating YouTube content and editing, articles on related product and services, blog content, writing reviews, and lets not forget about all the software and/or add-ons that is needed (and cost monthly to use) for you to be successful with amazon affiliate marketing.. If NONE of that applies to you sadly then chances are you won’t be “successful” at all.. yeah…
Again as mentioned before I can’t stress this enough on the amount of people wanting you to join their “amazon affiliate courses” and “sign up” and become a member – and get proper training on “how to make money” with the amazon associates program.. It’s STUPID AVOID IT!! You will find yourself spending more money on other people’s services than making “real” money for yourself.. Facts!!
If you don’t know the right topics, how to advertise, keywords, products, brand names, current trends, how to manage a website, and/or wording…You will FAIL in this type of business.. OH!! and did I mention the 24 hour WINDOW?? Any products purchased by your referrals “after” 24 hours of visiting amazon for the first time through your “affiliate link” and/or “website” – YOU EARN ZERO COMMISSION THATS RIGHT – NOTHING!
Yup that’s right! When you’re generating traffic and getting people to visit your website, landing page, sales page, then sending these visitors from your website and/or sales page or Facebook Ads to amazon – you only get a 24 hour window in which these visitors or people need to make a purchase on amazon for you to get paid and/or collect a commission.. Anything after 24 hours just doesn’t count.. Good Luck with that!!
The Facts and Truth About Amazon Affiliate Program
Lets Talk!
Understanding Affiliate Marketing
What Is It And Should You Become An “Affiliate” Marketer?
Lets define “affiliate marketing” and YOU as an “affiliate” or an “affiliate marketer” – it’s when you the “affiliate marketer” or “affiliate” promotes a company’s product and/or service or a “person’s product” known as the “affiliate merchant” – to your online audience through your website or other online platforms. The main objective here is for you the “affiliate” is to get people or “buyers” – by having them “click” on your “affiliate links” and they buy the products that you the “affiliate” are promoting – in return you will earn and/or receive a commission from each sale.
(When someone clicks the link and buys the product and/or service, you get a portion of that sale as a commission)
How does affiliate marketing work? Basically, lets keep it simple, it’s just YOU signing up to become an “affiliate” so that you can start spreading the word of products and/or services by marketing them or advertising. The affiliate does this by implementing banner ads, text ads, and/or links on multiple owned websites, a website, sales page, landing page, social media, videos, blogs, via email, etc..
Yes “Amazon affiliate marketing” will generate you a steady stream of income, but again, picking the right “product” and/or “niche” and understanding the basics – is key to succeeding!
If you’re still confused about everything and it’s just not making any sense to you – that’s okay that’s perfectly normal.. The wonderful thing about information about affiliate marketing and/or how to use Facebook Ads and how to make money with YouTube is – there’s tons of videos on it to help you get started. Remember there is a ton major things that is a “must know” to be successful with affiliate marketing.. Normally we wouldn’t go into much depth on the subject but since we’re here to help people grow financially, we’re going to break it down and try to make it “make sense” to you..
This Is What Affiliate Marketing Is And How To Apply It As An Example
So basically what you want to do is find a product and/or a service.. If you sit back and just think about it for a minute, it will start making perfect sense and you will wish that you started doing this sooner! We are not here to confuse you but to help you get a better understanding on how affiliate marketing “really” works..
I’m going to expose the “secrets” on how affiliate marketing actually works. I want you to try and follow what I’m saying, and as always please do your own research, homework, and understand all the risks – before attempting to apply these “proven” methods and strategies…
I’m going to do my best to keep things as simple to understand as possible. My own personal opinion is that a “professional review website” will be the future and I have owned one and it has generated thousands of dollars per month for me.. Leaving feedback or a review on a “said item”, product, and/or service that you bought is really becoming more and more popular then ever.. It can really make or break that product or services – whether people should purchase that “said item” simply just on the positive and negative reviews alone.. You buy products and services and use them everyday right? Why not start “making money” with them by simply sharing the pros, the cons, the good and the bad, what you like and dislike about the said products and services? Also keep in mind that you can also create a review website to promote multiple items and services – it can be a very reliable and powerful “go to” source, for people to get the best product reviews and said service reviews..
So basically you will find a product and/or a service then you want to focus on creating a website or a sales page just for that product or “said item” you can also do this with services, you want to make a video about the “said item” or “said services”, give a honest review share the pros and the cons, what you like and dislike, take pictures, give information, and make sure you link your “affiliate link” to your video, your website or Facebook Ad, so when people land on your website or sales page, when they click on that “affiliate link” to that product or service, which will take them to “Amazon” or “to another site that you’re affiliated with” – THEY CAN PURCHASE THAT SAID ITEM or SERVICE, SO IN RETURN YOU CAN GET PAID!!
Now lets take it a step further!
I want to try and put everything into perspective for you now.. It’s really easier then you think – I hope you’re following.. A lot of people will never ever think or question what they’re seeing and or buying online – therefore you can honestly make a ton of money by simply promoting products and services..
As a product example lets say you want to start selling “foot massagers”. One way to advertise or promote said item is to create a Facebook Ad, in which with this product you will have to create a video of you talking about and showing off how great the foot massager is, etc.. “just be creative”.. If you’re not comfortable in doing this you could go to Fiverr.com and pay someone to do it for you. This method will be great because what you can do is purchase multiple foot massagers, create a sales page or a quick “free website” and start making money quick – it’s really that simple! For this method to work you have to purchase the foot massagers at a great price so when you go to resale them you can make profits.. The only bad thing about going this rout is you’re responsible for shipping and handling, shipping materials, and buying multiple foot massagers.. Yes these will be yours to resale and any additional fees if any.. You could also just send buyers to Amazon using your “affiliate link”, basically you find a foot massager since you’re an amazon affiliate, you will want to generate or create the affiliate link for the “said item” in which amazon will now handle all of the orders for you, including shipping, fees, shipping materials, pretty much everything – all you’re doing is sending “potential buyers” to Amazon and/or another site that you’re affiliated with.. You just sit back and watch the money start rolling in!! Thats the difference!
“We have the power to buy things and when these things are no longer in use or we don’t need them anymore we have the power to give them away or sale them”
Something to also think about.. As an example lets say you want to start selling potty training “puppy pads”.. Basically all you need to do is do a lot of “research” and this part is always overlooked… Go visit some of your local pet stores, and see what they have! Gather pricing, and how many come in a box! Go online and see how many people are selling per package and/or per box, and see what their pricing is as well.. Then you will need to find the puppy pads at a great price, figure out your brand name like “pawzngo” and how will you ship these puppy pads out in a box or plastic, and make sure you run the numbers so when you resale them you want to make sure you’re making a profit! Yes, there are risks involved so be very very careful when doing this, it can be done, but imoneydaily recommends that you just focus on the Website/YouTube/Facebook/TikTok/ page and Ads/Advertising when making money with affiliate marketing..
You can have the best logo for your website, a catchy website name, advertising, best informational blog content, an awesome looking website – but if people aren’t searching, wanting, or needing that “niche” or “product”, “said services” that you’re promoting, it’s very simple – simply you won’t generate any sales and you make no money.. So the best way to think about succeeding is finding out “problems” and you then become their problem solver or “answer”.. You build around what people are wanting or talking about, a hot topic, what’s trending, provide a service and you invest there.. If you’re still considering starting out in the amazon affiliate marketing program – please learn the market place, understand what people use everyday and invest safely.. If you’re brand new and wanting to dive in and get a taste of affiliate marketing for the very first time and get involved – please look away from this type of business.. Reviewing products and promoting them is the best way to start.. Remember your effectiveness with online marketing comes down to “Providing Value” to your customers.. Content or information, videos, and pictures add value to your brand and/or niche..
– Provide value
– Be honest
– Show interest
– Let people know that you care verses “give me your money” type of approach
– Never brag it’s a “sales tactic”
“Don’t be fooled by “image”. If two people have $1,000 each.. The first person invests it wisely and makes $350 – he now has $1350. The second person he spends $650 on a vacation and then posts cool pictures.. He now has $350.. One guy looks like he’s winning, the other is on the path to actually win.. Social Media is a highlight reel – in reality most people are losing”
