Amazon’s affiliate program, known as Amazon Associatesis a tool that allows you to earn money by recommending products through custom links. If someone makes a purchase using your link, you will receive a commission that can vary between 1% and 20%, depending on the category product.
For example, if you run a tech blog, you can promote laptops, accessories or devicesearning a percentage for every sale generated by your links. The best thing is that registration is free and the potential for it income It depends on the audience you manage to attract.
That’s how it works
The system is simple:
- You create a unique link for each product you want to promote.
- You share that link on your platforms (blog, social networks, YouTube channel, etc.).
- You get a commission when someone buys a product after clicking on your link.
Additionally, Amazon gives you commissions even if the buyer buys other related products within one specific periodwhich increases your chances of winning more.
How much you can earn
Your income depends on three main factors:
- Audience: The size of your target audience, whether on social networks, blogs or video channels.
- Click through rate (CTR): The percentage of your audience that clicks on your links.
- Conversion rate: The percentage of users who, after clicking, complete a purchase.
For example, if you have a YouTube channel with 10 thousand followers and a CTR of 2%, you can generate 200 clicks on your links. If 10% of these clicks result in a purchase, it would be 20 sales. Multiply that by the product commission and you will have a rough idea of your income.
