Amazon is a well-known, reliable affiliate network. Although the commission you could be earning from Amazon is relatively low but there are still many people who are making a lot of money from them. I always recommend all new affiliates to join Amazon.com to start their online business. Amazon deals with physical products which are easier to sell as compared to downloadable products. There is no requirement for you to pay any fee to become their affiliate, you can just join them for free and start choosing any product from the pool of available products to promote. There are more than ten thousand products currently available.
Thousands of affiliates have joined Amazon and are earning a full-time income on a regular basis. You too shouldn't hesitate in joining Amazon if you want your business to take have a good start.
Here are some tips you can do while working with Amazon.com.
Tips number 1 - Forums marketing
Search at least 3 forums that are related to your product with a high page ranking. After registering on these forums, you can start a discussion in the forum where many people are involved. You can post your questions there and at the same time answer some questions of other forum members. Please remember not to add any promotion text in the body of your posts. Forum members are allowed to put their signature at the end of their post. It is here is where you can put you name, your website link and your affiliate products link. Once you became an active member of this forum, you should be getting some traffic from these forums to your website. This will ultimately result in some sales of the products you are promoting.
Tips number 2 - Email Marketing.
Nowadays it is very common for anyone to use email to interact with others. Do you know that each time when you use your email to contact people, you can place your website or affiliate link promoting your products at the end of your email text. So if you send out 100 emails daily, it means 100 additional people are looking at your affiliate link everyday. You can also expand your contact list and use as many methods as you can to collect the email addresses of new subscriber. You have to get an autoresponder account to do this. Use online forums, chat forums etc to make new friends.Once you have a few hundred of subscribers, you need to improve your relationship with them so that when you send them promotional email, they will be glad to buy from you. Please remember NOT to spam. Don't send email to the people who don't know about you or who don't want to receive your emails. If you do this, your email will be blocked and you will lose your contacts.
Tips number 3 - Promote Your Products on a Website
Most affiliates of Amazon have their own website to promote their products. I personally highly recommend you to build your own website. It is good if you can make your website clean and simple. Add your affiliate links in every page of your website but please do not put big ugly banners to advertise the products. The best way is to use 2 to 3 lines of text links to promote the Amazon products. A point to always remember is that your website must be related to the products you are promoting. For example if you are promoting a Plasma TV, then your website contents must match this theme. If not your visitor will be put off and go away without reading any further.
Conclusion
Amazon is a very popular affiliate network for physical products. You should start your business with Amazon.com to become a successful affiliate. Try to use all the tips I have shown you to promote your Amazon products for better results. Remember, many affiliates are making a full-time income on Amazon.com and there is no reason that you cannot be like them.
