Amazon has an affiliate program (the “Amazon Associates Program”).
The theory behind the Amazon Associates program is straightforward. By sending traffic to the Amazon website, you will earn a commission (between 3%-10%) on all sales that result from any visitors you send.
This is great because you do not have to get involved in product fulfillment. You have no stock to store, and you don’t have to pick and ship orders, and, perhaps most importantly, you don’t need to get involved in any customer service activities. You have to be purely a marketing machine and send traffic to Amazon’s site.
Of course, the real trick – in fact, and the key to making this all work – is to send traffic to the Amazon site at a cost less than the revenue you receive from Amazon. If you can do that, you can make a nice profit.
Now, there are many options open to you for creating traffic. You can generate traffic for free by writing articles, creating your blog, or even by setting up a website of your own and going through the lengthy process of optimizing your website for the search engines so that your website is listed near the top of the search results. These three methods are time-consuming, but they will get you results if you stick with them.
Another way of generating traffic, which unfortunately is not free, is to create advertising campaigns using one of the many pay-per-click options. This basically means using Google Adwords or the similar services offered by Yahoo! and MSN.
If you hadn’t already noticed, you will see a series of paid advertisements down the right-hand side every time you search Google. You can create adverts that will be displayed when the user types in specific search terms.
So you can pick specific products from the Amazon website to promote and set up a specific pay-per-click campaign for each of these products. Each time the user clicks on one of your adverts, Google will charge you for the click, hence the term pay-per-click. You, in turn, point the user to Amazon’s website. If this whole process costs you less than the commission you receive, then you make a profit.
Simple as that!
