Amazon Associates


Great choice — the Amazon Affiliate Program (called Amazon Associates) is one of the easiest ways to start earning passive income online. Here's a step-by-step guide to get you started:


✅ Step 1: Sign Up for Amazon Associates

  • Go to: www.amazon.com

  • Sign in with your Amazon account or create one.

  • Fill in details about your website, blog, app, or social media accounts (yes, you can use social media).


✅ Step 2: Set Up Your Profile

  • Choose the topics or niches you plan to write/talk about (e.g. tech, home, fashion).

  • List how you drive traffic: SEO, social media, email, etc.

  • Enter your preferred payment method (direct deposit, gift card, or check).


✅ Step 3: Start Promoting Products

Once approved:

  • Go to any Amazon product page.

  • Use the Amazon Associates SiteStripe (a bar at the top of the page when logged in) to generate affiliate links.

  • Post those links in:

    • Blog posts

    • YouTube video descriptions

    • Instagram/Threads/TikTok bios or Stories

    • Email newsletters


✅ Step 4: Earn Commission

You earn a percentage of the total cart value (not just the item you linked to) if someone buys within 24 hours of clicking your link.

Commission ranges:

  • Electronics: ~3%

  • Fashion: ~4-10%

  • Amazon devices: ~4%

  • Luxury beauty: ~10%
