Reach so so I've tried other things in The past I tried Drop Shipping I tried You know different types of business Models but Amazon affiliate marketing is A great entry point in a lot of ways is Because all you have to do is Market Your own website so you Market these Products you don't have to worry about Inventory or shipping or updating Facebook posts or creating product pages Or even any of the things you even have To do with Amazon FBA and stuff like That so how it really works is you want To find a product that you want to Promote you place that link on your Website so you through Amazon Associates Will show you that you get a unique Tracking link that's unique to you you Place it into your blog post or you know Social media post or YouTube video or Anything like that you drive traffic so You get eyeballs and attention on your Content and then you make money whenever Somebody buys something through Amazon So what I like to recommend especially When you're getting starting is to start A blog because that's where you know Google is where people buy things so They search for best types of product Comparison posts and that's where they Buy things so it's not so much social Media but really it's a Google driven Engine to make money that way what you Learn through Amazon affiliate marketing
Carries to a lot of other skills so you Can start building a website building a Presence learning about products how to Add these affiliate links you start Making some commissions you add ads to Your website it's really the first entry Point of starting an online business for Yourself a Content driven business which Is what I teach in other videos you know This is content this is YouTube blog Posts things that can make you money Promoting other people's products so now To get started with Amazon Associates First you want to pick a niche you want To promote so Amazon Associates and Amazon when you think of like all the Products on Amazon well there's a ton And it's mostly physical products so We're talking about Home Goods outdoor Goods Electronics jewelry makeup fashion There's a lot of different things you Can cover and in my you know coaching Program blog growth engine we actually Cover like exactly how to choose the Perfect Niche for you how to find the Opportunity based on your own personal Brand and what you actually should cover Based on your expertise your experience All of that but first we need to pick a Niche and you want to build content Around that Niche so we can't Necessarily just sign up for Amazon Associates and expect to make money Right out of the gate we need to create
A system for this in a way to create Create a number of different articles or Blog posts or YouTube videos or pieces Of content we can't just do five posts And expect to make a bunch of money we Want to do this consistently so we start Building content around it now we sign Up for an Amazon Associates account and I don't recommend you do it like right Away before you even have a website or You have any type of presence online at All because you're not going to make any Money yet this affiliate marketing Especially on Amazon it's a big numbers Game so it's how many clicks do you get To your actual article so how many People on Google search for something And find you and then from those number Of people that are on your article how Many people actually click those Affiliate links and then when they land On Amazon how many people actually buy Things so it's a big numbers game and The more traffic the more attention the More eyeballs you have the more money You're going to make so I don't Recommend you start you sign up like Immediately but I'll show you the exact Process they then insert these Amazon Affiliate links into your content so we Recommend in other videos my exact Website Tech stack which is WordPress And we cover exactly how to use this you Can use a plugin like thirsty Affiliates
Which is a really good plugin you can Like track and sort all of these Affiliate links so if you're promoting Like sofas on Amazon or Furniture you Can have affiliate links unique to each One and then every time that you bring It up in WordPress you can just insert That link easily and organized so when You when you want to pick your Niche you Want to think about a couple different Things first so what you know a lot About or are interested in so for me Like you know it's not just what you're Passionate about but it's what also can Make you money and what can you make Lots of content about that's key so we Don't want to choose a tiny Niche where It's like we're gonna you know I'll show Some examples in this video but we don't Want to show you know doing it towards Like I can create five articles and That's it so a blog or a YouTube channel Requires eventually you know 50 pieces Of content 100 pieces of content over Time built in the background of your Life to make you money we have to think About what's something that you know That you have expertise in or you want To be known as you know think of your Face on the homepage of this website What are you saying what are you Teaching what kind of products are you Doing but what product categories are in The most so let's actually take a look
At some of the Amazon affiliate Commissions so this is a chart here that Shows you all of the fixed commission Rates for products so somebody clicks Your affiliate link they check out on Amazon and they buy this product this is The percentage of the commission that You get so you see that these numbers Range from zero percent for gift cards One percent for groceries all the way up To 20 for games and every single number In between so in April of 2020 Amazon Actually cut their affiliate rates in Half for a lot of products so we're Going to cover two in this video like How do you what do you do about that and What is the solution the long-term Solution to build a sustainable business But you'll see you know there's physical Books digital music toys Furniture Home Improvement stuff is three percent Televisions is two percent so we can Look at all these different commission Rates and see what you get so the key is If this is a numbers game how can I make A lot of money and how much money can I Actually make so we're probably going to Be looking for expensive products so When we think about creating an online Business for ourselves and we're just Starting out from zero we have no Traffic or anything yet how much money Can we make well when we're just Starting out a lower estimate is like
Months three through six maybe you make Your first hundred dollars to three Hundred dollars or something you're Getting some traffic you're getting some Commissions I'm on 7 through 12 you're Making a little bit more and then the Year's on you're making a thousand plus A month which is pretty good but more Aggressive estimate or something you can Actually go for based on promoting Physical products is something like this So by the end of the year you should be Making at least five thousand dollars a Month if you're doing the right Strategies that we teach and in uh my Flagship you know blogging coaching Program blog growth engine we actually Have dozens of students making over ten Thousand dollars a month and all kinds Of niches we help you find that stuff if You're interested in learning more how I Make a hundred thousand dollars a month With affiliate marketing four hundred Thousand dollars a month overall make Sure to click the link in the Description below and sign up for my Free brand new masterclass thousands of Students have gone through it had lots Of aha moments so make sure to click That link sign up for that and let's get Back to the video this is what this is Really how you get started so good Keyword research makes all the Difference so you really have to find
Keywords that are going to make you Money so keywords that are low Competition and have good search volume And you create content around those new And emerging products so this is an Example here of just a tool hrefs and it Shows like a couple different games out There and you can see new world harder Difficulty to rank for there's more Competition than blue protocol which is 35 so you use these keyword tools to Find new opportunities and we'll cover That so then you create your content you Basically want to start with a personal Branded website so my site is just Adaminfo.com I make over a hundred Thousand dollars a month in affiliate Commissions promoting software and other Products but it's easier because then You can pivot and adapt your content Write about lots of different things Then you want to start by creating about 10 pieces of content around things that You know well and then Analyze This Content by using things like Google Analytics looking at YouTube Studio Analytics data and seeing what's getting Traffic and what isn't and then you want To sign up for Amazon Associates so you Just need it's really simple you just Have the account information your Website information your profile how you Want to get paid and then you start at Associates Central so they've basically
Head to Amazon Dash program affiliate Program.amazon.com and then you enter Your account information I was going to Do this manually and show you but it Just showed all my home like a home Address and all my personal information Right away so based on my Amazon account So you enter information your name your Address it's the simple stuff that you Add you fill in your website and social Media so you put in that URL and then You fill out your profile so tell us About the content you create write a few Sentences about it what best describes It are you a Blog are you a Content Website well I don't really understand The difference between those two you can Put whatever you want but you start Using it so you apply you have a unique Amazon Associates ID at this point and You can use that and then you enter your Payment and tax information basically How you get paid and then your tax Information so if you're a sole Proprietor you don't have a business yet You put in your social security number If you have a business or an LLC that You're making money through you put in Your EIN if you're in the US so then you Can see what's really easy here they you Can search for products you want to Promote and then it gives you based on Your store ID your tracking ID the exact Link the full link or you can shorten it
To the short link and then you take that For the specific product so this example Is just like an electric shaver that was Coming it came across and then using When you're logged into Amazon Associates with site stripe here you can Just copy and paste the link any product You find that you copy it and then You're going to make text-based links For that so you insert the links into Your blog post so here's an example of Classic leather boots you can see They're talking about these different Things and then they actually added it To this button check price for Thursday Boots that unique tracking link is added Into that button and that is it but you Can add it to text links you can just Highlight the text in WordPress or Wix Or whatever you use highlight the text Paste that link in or again if you're Using thirsty Affiliates you can put it Into thirsty Affiliates and then Highlight the text choose thirsty Affiliates and it'll show you all your Choices of links and you add that link In and then you want to promote it so You can promote it in YouTube Descriptions Pinterest Instagram Twitter All of that well the main thing that I Recommend here is you start either a Blog or a YouTube channel because Google And YouTube are where people search for Products and information so if you don't
Like being on camera for example which I Hated at first you can do just a Blog so This is creating articles in a very Specific way to drive traffic to your Amazon affiliate links for all kinds of Different products I'll show you some Examples or YouTube where you add the Links in the description and again you Always want to disclose that these are Affiliate links you have to do this Prominently because it's kind of a pay It's an advertising sponsorship type of Relationship and the FTC expects you to See that but you can see different Examples here let's look at a couple Different higher commission Amazon Affiliate examples so when we think About what are we going to promote on Amazon here's one like best hot tub so It's a three percent commission in the Home category but something like this Could be thousands of dollars or here's Another example best Barrel sauna kits Which is a three percent commission on a Very expensive product so you can see That this is the family handyman site And this is an example of a good site With Amazon Associates so we see that It's the family handyman it's a little Bit broader it's not just the Saunaguy.com or the saunawoman.com right That would be too narrow of a domain Name because then we'd only be stuck Writing about a few different things but
They write about all kinds of stuff they Write about garage and workshop home Inspiration House Outdoors all of that Deck and patio things so you can see Like patio furniture pieces ping pong Tables color changing pine cones you can Write about anything when you think About the amount of crazy products that Are on Amazon you really can but when You see this best Barrel sauna kits for Your backyard we look at this article May I say what is it and then we're Gonna see these Amazon affiliate links So that you can shop now and you can see There's even the Home Depot links as Well but you can see these different Sauna kits and here's an Amazon one for The best wet or dry Sonic kit it's 6 400 So it's pretty solid commissions even if You're making three percent so if Amazon's slashing the rates you start Promoting higher priced products here's Another example of the best automatic Espresso machine so this is a three Percent commission again in the home Category and we can see this site here Is craftcoffeespot.com the 10 best super Automatic espresso machines and they can See that the exact kind of same format For these types of transactional Affiliate articles introduction some of The products and then a list post format With all of the best ones they're Talking about like the features milk
Frothing all that stuff the different Options and then they'll eventually get To the products here so you can Sometimes when you're doing Amazon to You what what a lot of you know people Recommend and I think is a good idea is You have multiple links so it could be Amazon Amazon affiliate link and also a Walmart.com affiliate link or Amazon and Home Depot or Amazon and Dick's Sporting Goods or whatever individual like Niche You're in it could be if it's Sports It's probably another Sports site Amazon And another one so you see here they Have Amazon and another link here But if you click this one this is a Jura E8 espresso machine is 2 400 bucks so Again you can make some good money on Here and there's just so many different Products on Amazon that you can promote Here's another higher commission example It's best OLED TV so this is the Television category and we see this Sony RX type TV here this is actually a site By tech radar which is a huge media site And they have the same kind of layout Right so introduction going to the Products they have the LG C2 we can see It they have again View at Walmart view On Amazon View at Best Buy so you have Multiple choices for the buyer when it Comes to physical products so you know I'm in the software Niche where I just Say go to this company individually and
Every single affiliate link that goes Through me it's like goes from my site To a specific company whereas through Amazon you have oftentimes for physical Products especially in the e-commerce World people are selling them in Multiple areas so when I was working in E-commerce back in my career we had we Were selling products in Walmart and Target and Bed Bath and Beyond and also On our own website and you know a lot of Actual products that are physical Products are sold in multiple Marketplaces so if you're an AM if You're an affiliate and you're writing These types of articles I would first Join the Amazon affiliate program the Associates because it's the easiest Place to just start with get your links Make it easy drop them in and then over Time because of the lower commission Rates you should either replace the Links to Amazon links with other Companies or add them in separately Because it can improve conversion rates If someone can buy from multiple places Maybe they love Best Buy or maybe they Only buy from Amazon because of prime Shipping they have multiple options here As well when we look at this Amazon link Again for an OLED TV it goes to this Article and this one's 1700 bucks so Again we want to promote products that Are actually going to make us money and
You know do the back of the napkin math Here we don't want to do I get a three Percent commission on a pair of socks we Want to get a three to five percent Commission at first on a TV and then Maybe join the individual affiliate Program and get a five to eight to ten Percent commission over time so those Are a few categories but really the Secret here is to just get started and Learn as you go because you're going to Make mistakes you're going to fail but The great thing about a blog or a Content driven business is you don't Have to worry about customers and Failing customers you just might create A piece of content that doesn't quite Work which you can then delete or pivot Or adapt and change so this all starts With keyword research so let's go back To that real quick and I just have the Keyword Explorer here with ahrefs which Is the best SEO tool to find keyword Ideas to write about for specific blog Posts this is a specific Google tool so If I search something like best sauna I Can see the information on the vest Sauna so there's keyword difficulty Which is 20 which isn't too bad this is The monthly search volume so the traffic Potential each month is about 4 200 and Let's look at something else so we can Actually see the top ranking sites here So we can see you know there's bhg the
Spruce Forbes Bob Viola USA Today so This one's a little bit competitive There's lots of big sites here but There's also a site like mysanaworld.com That's ranking in the ninth spot that is A smaller lower domain Authority site so Domain Dr here domain rating is the Overall authority of the website the Backlink profile how authoritative the Site is in the eyes of Google so seeing A lower Dr site I'm still on the first Page is actually a good sign that you Don't need a ton of links to actually Get this content ranking so we want to Find Opportunities based on certain Things so we look for a low keyword Difficulty decent search volume over 500 Is good and then we want to find a low Dr you know under 40 or under 50 let's Say website ranking on the first page But what's really key here is this is Just best sauna this is pretty broad What if we wanted to go to the matching Terms tool and see other variations of Things that we could write about and Make affiliate commissions on this is Where it starts to open up different Opportunities for more long tail Keywords that we can actually rank for Quickly and make affiliate commissions With so there's tons of different posts On sauna's infrared home Outdoor portable that's on a blanket so You see best sauna heaters best sauna
Suit to lose weight best Sonic Temperature so we see let's just look at Something like best outdoor sauna and We'll see the difficulties a little bit Less the volume is actually pretty good At 800 it's an increasing search and we See that there are four low Authority Sites ranking on the first page so we Have a domain rating of 5 3 32 and 43 And 56 is the number one spot so you Don't need a bunch of links and fancy Stuff to actually get a lot of this to Work you just need to know which Keywords to actually go after so really When you're creating a Content plan for Amazon just start looking at what you Want to talk about so if you were a site Like let's let's look at this example The spruce giant huge site they have the Spruce pets they have the spruce they Talk about all kinds of physical Products one of the biggest brands out There in the space but they're talking About all kinds of stuff gardening Home Improvement Decor cleaning celebrations All of that and this is an article under You know gardening an outdoor pool Products which is hot tub so These hot tub reviews Is you know best hot tub so let's search For that real quick so like best sauna Is one hot tub is another so we look for Best hot tub and then we look at the Matching terms and we can see inflatable
Hot tub chemicals Plug and Play Hot Tub Difficulty of four super easy to rank For for the most part best Plug and Play Hot Tub the volume is decent and we have A site here that has a domain rating of One so basically no backlinks uh just Good content the home hot tubguide.com So we have to know how to read this Stuff in ahrefs and I covered this a lot In other keyword research videos we have In-depth hours of content on this in my Coaching program we need to stay you Know we need to know that it starts with Keyword research we start stack ranking This and maybe we look at you know if I Want to talk about outdoor and you know Let's say interior and decor and home Stuff and Furniture maybe I start with One category so at first I start with Pool products like hot tubs saunas Outdoor gardening supplies and things Like that and you make your domain name Broad enough like the spruce or handyman Family Handyman or handy woman whatever You want to call it so that you don't Pigeonhole yourself into one tiny area Because for Amazon it's a volume game This isn't you know an affiliate play Where we're talking about retirement Accounts and making ten to a hundred Thousand dollars per sale or something Crazy that's uh you know competing with Like nerd wallet and sites like that Physical products are actually the
Easiest products to rank for when it Comes to affiliate marketing and it Comes down to these transactional best Of Roundup posts for different types of Products any type of product you can Write about but I would start with one Specific sub Niche like hot tubs pools Saunas or for as an example and then you Can always expand so then you expand Your topical Authority once you've Covered one in depth so you want to Write a number of these specific Transactional articles like the best hot Tubs but you also want to write info Informational content because you want To just blanket that specific Niche Before you move on to the next one so Let's say you want to write 10 articles About hot tubs I would write five Articles of these kind of Roundup post Reviews five articles about how to clean Your hot tub how to you know do Maintenance on your hot tub where to put Your hot tub how to throw a hot tub Party whatever the the search volume Says because you can also you know go to Your keyword tool and instead of just Printing in best hot tub you could put In how to hot tub and you can see all This stuff how to move a hot tub it's Freaking heavy so right about that how To drain it clean it filter Light bulbs so you want to have Informational uh topical Authority here
Too so that's another play here when it Comes to blogging is cover a lot of Different content which will show that You're an expert then cover it with the Transactional posts and then once you've Kind of mastered that domain and you're Ranking in hot tubs then maybe you move To saunas and then maybe move to pools Or you know another example is you start Talking about if you're indoor Goods you Start talking about modular sectionals Then you start talking about living room Furniture then you start talking about Chairs armoires dressers whatever those Things are and you start slowly Expanding out with informational and Transactional content because affiliate Marketing on Amazon is truly a numbers Game so let's quickly talk about Actually assembling this content in the Right way so here's an example from Switchback travel which is a popular Outdoor affiliate for promoting outdoor Goods we have the best rain jackets of 2023 here so what we have is this is the H1 Uh H1 heading which is the title of the Article so we can see that the target Keyword here in ahrefs are in anything That they're going after is best rain Jackets and we can also see that this is In the URL because your url should match The target keyword the URL should not be Best rain jackets of 2023 because the
URL is the only thing you can change Because we don't want that to go to 2024 And you change the title and then the URL you know you change the url and it Breaks so the H1 heading is best rain Jackets of 2023. you need a little Introduction sentence I think that looks Good A featured image And then we have an introduction so you Can see that they have a couple of Internal links here including a buying Guide for rain jackets comparison table And women's rain jackets so again Google Looks at Authority and they also look at Topical Authority so like not just link Authority but topical Authority an Internal links it's almost like one Article it's just one chapter in a book And you need to expand it so like Google's not gonna be like you have one Chapter on rain jackets I'm gonna actually reward someone that Has 10 chapters on rain jackets and Women's and buyings guide and all of This stuff to make it not just one Article but a more robust set of Information but really it's using um Different SEO tools like you can use Server SEO it'll literally tell you how Many keywords what semantic keywords to Use how long the article should be how Many headings there should be how many Images there should be and you use a Surfer SEO which uses a lot of AI that
Tells you all of these things but you See there's an introduction and then What's really nice in a lot of these Affiliate articles is most of them use Some type of summarize section either a Table or just something really simple Like this so all the affiliate links can Get clicked on because that is the key To make money with Amazon affiliate Marketing is getting a lot of clicks on These links we don't want to bury the Link down the page so that every user Has to scroll all the way down you'll See that these links are pretty high up In the article and they go here and you Can see if you look at the bottom left Corner here you can see this is Avon Link affiliate link so this is like Through maybe the REI affiliate program If I click on one of these jackets again This is Rei's affiliate program so again What you want to do is you start with Amazon and then you can always join the Individual affiliate program later it Might have doubled the commission rates But first is like getting started just Getting the content out there in the Right way getting some traction getting Some traffic and then worrying about the Links later because we want to scrape Hundreds of dollars off the ground not Chase pennies and dollar bills by trying To perfect every affiliate link before We have any traffic at all it's all
About you know the effective use of your Time but then we get into this so they Have best overall so they have different Types of headings here and they have Number one their item and this is an Affiliate links you always want to like Probably the first mention of the Product add an affiliate link and then For physical products it really depends On what kind of product it is but they Have a lot of different categorizations Here and then they review it you know They talk about it what's good about it What they don't like they don't what They like they don't like they have a Full review so this is an internal link So you can see that they actually have a Full review on this jacket so that's Another thing that you can do With Amazon is like write the best of Post and then also review the individual Products if you can now if you don't Have access and you can't buy every Single individual product here's the Fortunate truth maybe unfortunate truth Most sites most sites out there aren't Going to review every single product Personally themselves so they're making Up a lot of this stuff based on you know The REI website what it says what other People are saying you know they're doing Their best you know for me that Recommends software I can kind of give Things a free trial and I have a lot of
Experience because I worked in digital Marketing for so long but this really Comes down back to you choosing your Niche choosing your personal brand what Do you know really well that you already Know these products that makes it a lot Easier to create these articles because Google's rewarding content that's Actually good we can't just trick it With SEO tools we have to make it good For readers and give your own unique Take so you can't just add A bunch of stuff that already exists Online from other sources say that you Think the product's pretty good and then Expect to rank so you need kind of your Own unique take on this your own angle You can do that by writing basically This content but you'll see that number One is this Patagonia jacket number two Is this jacket but it's the same exact Format so it's a we're assembling Content we're not writing it from a Blank page we're assembling it every Single one in the same way every time Number one two three four five now That's it that's really simple in this Example but what we can do here is also Even if you don't join the Amazon Associates program yet what you can do Is don't worry about it at all just Create the content link to REI wherever This jacket lives for example no Affiliate link yet nothing don't worry
About it until you start getting traffic And then later once you already have Some traffic then you join the Amazon Associate swap the links and you start Making a lot of money that's the best Way to use your effective use of your Time where you're not like managing Thousands of affiliate links without any Traffic yet so but instead same format Every single way we can see that's true In this best hot tubs article from the Spruce they have the top picks at the Top they have images links here for Amazon wafer and Home Depot you see that What we like what we don't like so this Is really important in a lot of physical Product reviews what do you like what's Good what's bad a lot of reviews just Say this product's great and this one's Great and this one's great and this One's pretty good and they don't really Actually go into like the negatives and The dislikes and the differences because Differentiation is really key here Especially if something like televisions There's certain television review sites That have every single uh specific Specification or whatever you want to Call it the dimensions the refresh rate The black blacks are very black whatever Whatever they are every single one is Listed side by side so you really need To cover this in depth now when we're Creating these articles we also have to
Think about what what order do I put These in I'm not you know maybe ah do I Just put like the most expensive one at The top and hope I make the most money In the number one spot it doesn't Actually work that way you usually want To actually Give the best article yes this is a Business so we want to make the most Money from our article and extract the Most value out of it but we also can't Like put a five million dollar product At the top and think anyone's going to Check out and buy people usually want to Buy In any specific category the market Leader that's the mid price point so for Example if you're promoting golf clubs And you're talking about the best Drivers you're not going to promote like The most expensive drivers out there but You're going to promote the mid price Point most popular drivers on the market Because again we want to blanket and Cover all of this stuff in one article And the title is really important so if I search for best hot tubs and I see the Titles of these articles there's the Eight best of 2023 there's 11 best of 2023 we want to cover and have the Target keyword early in the title we odd Numbers actually work better than even Numbers and then you have what I call Search intent trigger words you can add
The year or other things like outdoor Relaxation and this is going back to Search intent like what do people Actually want so for hot tubs it's kind Of basic like you could say like the Best on the market for February 2023 or Something like that then for you know Actually creating this content and Looking at the article the key is ending The search Journey for this user so you Want them to click on your article not Go back and then click another one and Think that's the best so how do you do That well you create the best possible Content for human but you also want to Make sure that it kind of covers all Your bases so what I mean by that back To a golf example if you're writing About the best drivers you want to cover The best for beginners intermediate Players lefties and kind of like any you Know think about any product category And what all of those different people Are and then make sure you cover all of Those people so that when they read your Article they feel like oh this is They've covered everything they left no Stone unturned I know exactly you know What I'm doing I don't need to look for More information because when they go to These types of Articles this is the First you know the one step before Purchasing they need to see the Comparisons and when your article is
Good enough and you feel like you've Covered everything then they should be Actually ready to buy so they won't have To go back again they'll just use your Article click your affiliate links and Make a purchase so that's ultimately What it comes down to with Amazon Affiliate marketing do good keyword Research find things that you can rank For create content in a templatized way That is good for search engines and for Human beings and your affiliate links in Make some money maybe not join you know Join the other affiliate programs too And then you just keep making money in The same way all right real quick let's Talk about cookies not these delicious Cute little cookies I have on my screen Here but actually cookie duration which Is the cookie stored in the user's Browser that gives you credit for that Sale so how long do they last on Amazon Well according to Amazon once someone Clicks on your affiliate link you have 24 hours for them to add a product to Their cart and you will get credit for That sale after the 24 hours is done if They don't add any products to their Cart it's over or if they leave your Site they click another Amazon affiliate Link after you that also wipes it clear However if they add a product to their Cart within the 24 hour window and check Out you make the commission but also if
They if they add a product to their cart After clicking your affiliate link and It stays in their cart you then still Get credit as long as that product stays In their card and it can go up to 90 Days so this is kind of how the you know You get credit for the sales on Amazon This is actually a much shorter cookie Duration than a lot of individual Affiliate programs have you know if You're going and joining individual Brands they're typically like 30 days or More so someone clicks your affiliate Link you can still get credit that much Later but with Amazon because they have So many products it's a shorter cookie Duration but you can get credit so That's kind of how that works so again I Want to really reiterate here that Amazon affiliate marketing is a starting Point it's a good way to build a Content-driven business and really find The niche for you so it's a really great Way to start because you could try to Like let's say you love photography or Camera gear you start talking about These individual products with blog Posts build a personal brand around that You start pivoting and adapting your Content with Amazon affiliate links you Start making some money see what kind of Sub niches are working then you can jump Into YouTube you can do that on you know Build your personal brand around this
Stuff but it's a good starting point Because you don't have an audience that You don't have to worry about a bunch of Upfront capital and startup costs and Inventory and all of that it's a great Business model to start and build a true Brand around but you should aim again to Start with the Amazon affiliate links And then join the individual companies Affiliate program so Google like if You're talking about sporting goods and You're on Amazon after a while you start Getting traffic Google like Dick's Sporting Goods affiliate program join That you might get double the commission Rates that way so you want to diversify And not just be reliant on Amazon by Itself to build a true online business But here's some notice while I'm finding The perfect Niche for you so this is Going to be based on the individual Blogging and making money online it's Very nuanced we can't have a get rich Quick one scheme one size fits all Approach to this we have to find things That Juan you're interested enough to Create enough content around we're not Talking five articles we're talking at Least 50 or more over time something That you can create something that you Might have some professional or personal Experience in maybe it's a hobby that You know a lot about but we really have To know ultimately the most important
Thing not because I don't think that Like passions will make you money what I Do think is that the marketplace and Actually making money will drive this Passion and continue to build this Business so we need to understand how That works so that goes back to the Numbers game of affiliate marketing Knowing that you need a certain amount Of clicks to your article based on Intent we can't just blast Amazon links On social media no one's going to click And buy we need to base it on intent Based places like Google and YouTube and Then we create that content we have to Know that once they click your article Maybe 30 to 40 percent of them will Actually click an affiliate link and of Those maybe two percent will actually Buy something on Amazon so it's a Numbers game we have to do do the math To understand how all this works and Diversification so multiple articles Multiple categories and a lot of that Stuff and eventually finding it's hard To start out when you're a beginner like When I was and you'd find you know you Can't find just the perfect Niche you Can't like choose it right you have to Find it and base it on data and Eventually figure it out for yourself And make mistakes as you go so that's a Little bit of note there if you're Interested in learning more like how I
