Amazon Affiliate Program

The Amazon affiliate marketing program is possibly one of the most extensive and well known in the market.

Let’s face it, everybody has heard of Amazon.com which means that visitors to the site feel safe and secure making a purchase there.
The range of items they sell is simply staggering – electronics, books, clothing, tools, sports equipment, DVDs & music and more – so this makes it easy to find relevant items to interest visitors to your site.

You can choose to link to particular products, departments or pages, you can pick the type of link that you want to use and in many cases you can customize the link to fit best with your website.

Once you have joined the Amazon affiliate program, you have access to all the links, banners, tools and widgets you could possibly need. With Amazon you are not actually called an affiliate, you are in fact an “associate” – nice!

Payouts: while it is true that the the Amazon affiliate program doesn’t have the highest percentage rate (depending on how many sales you refer in a month the highest you will get at time of writing is 15%), the fact is you can promote higher priced items – computers for example – and people feel safe buying from the site due to it’s competitive pricing and reliable reputation.

Amazon is also very good at cross-selling: a customer may have only been looking for one item, but they will be shown additional products that are connected with their original item and you may be surprised how effective this is.

The Amazon affiliate marketing program provides you with a huge range of products to make commission from, and converts well and is recommended.
