This post may contain affiliate links, which means I may receive a small commission, at no additional cost to you, if you make a purchase.


So now let's start from learning the basics to learning the whole deal.

(Already know all the basics??Scroll down a bit to the step by step guide on how to create Amazon affiliate account)

What is affiliate marketing?

Affiliate marketing is a marketing connection in-between a brand or company and an affiliate marketer where the brand/company gives individuals, influencers, niche website owners and basically anyone that's ready for business the ability to create product or service's affiliate links. So the affiliate marketer must promote the link based on the company/brand's affiliate program's need/request then when someone visits the link and makes a purchase or fulfil any of the brand's affiliate program requirements, the affiliate marketer automatically receives commissions. As an affiliate, you only make money when your affiliate link is used to complete/fulfil the need/request or the affiliate program.


Affiliate marketing is a very profitable business in the internet business world and right for anyone who do it the right way(not insinuating that buying any greedy guru's course out there is the right way,Infact everything about me is against any greedy guru's course or anything of such. Don't waste your money🥰,Just be Resourceful). If you already own a website/blog you're good to go and if you don't, you're also good to go and besides you can learn how to start a blog from start to finish on this blog.


Now don't get it twisted,don't get confused☺️, the question now for some is what's the difference between an affiliate marketer and an affiliate program?? 

Who is an affiliate marketer?   

An affiliate marketer is the individual, influencer or website/blog owner who promotes a company's product or service to earn commissions.

What is an affiliate program?

An affiliate program is the connection in-between the affiliate marketer and the brand/company the affiliate marketer is promoting.—simple as that.


Now let's jump into the ocean 😋

What is the Amazon Affiliate program?

The Amazon Affiliate program also known as the Amazon Associates program, is an affiliate program owned by Amazon (you already understand what an affiliate program is, above) and It's free for every affiliate marketer.


How does the Amazon Affiliate program work?

You already understand what an affiliate program stands for in-between a company and an affiliate marketer,above but basically In the Amazon Affiliate program,you as an affiliate marketer (also known as associates in the Amazon affiliate program) earn commission by driving organic traffic to Amazon through your affiliate URL(also known as affiliate link). So when someone clicks the link and make a purchase or complete any of the Amazon Associates needs/request given to you the associate,you earn a commission.

How much does the Amazon Affiliate program pay?

No one can tell, it all depends on how serious you're with the business in which the "serious" I just said kinda covers a lot because offering/giving out value to the world no matter what your means of promotion is and no matter how poor, rich or influential you're is under this same seriousness and many more too. Just always have "The Affiliate Marketer's Credo by Zig Ziglar" which says "you'll get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want" at the back of your mind. So when you start to offer the right value to the right audience/people you'll start earning and on average you can earn in-between the range of $100 to $20,000 from the Amazon Affiliate program. The Amazon Affiliate program operates on a commission basis,meaning you’ll make a percentage per sale but the commission rate differs depending on the product category. Ranging from 20% downward.

Advice:—Before signing up on the platform, it’s important to check out the Amazon Affiliate program’s commission rate per product category so you can calculate how much you can potentially earn depending on you yourself individually or your website’s niche if you have one.
