You should know that it is possible to make money using the Amazon Affiliate Marketing program. Today we are going to show you exactly how you can do that. Let’s take a look.
Domain name
Your domain name is very important. It should be something that people will remember and you should also do your best to find a name that will show up in search results. It is not that simple to make the perfect choice, but remember that your domain name can influence your success.
After you pick a domain name you must make sure that you register it. You can choose to register it at the site where you set your hosting. If you are looking for a cheaper alternative you might want to consider a provider that comes with a lower price.
Finding a topic
You should choose a topic that you are passionate about. This will make it a lot easier to deal with reviews and recommendations for products. You should also make sure that you are informed when it comes to that topic. You don’t want to get bored and lose your interest quickly so make this choice carefully.
Basic HTML
Learning HTML will always come in handy. Even if someone else handles your site, you still need to know the basics.
Web hosting
When you decide to set up web hosting for your site you should be smart about it. You don’t need to spend too much money and you should look for a company that offers you a low price. For example, you should be able to find offers that charge you 5$ per month, for an unlimited number of domains.
Visuals
Your site needs to be memorable and different from others so that your viewers won’t forget it. You can take a look at the available templates and work with them so that you can create a unique result.
Blog software
In order to make it easier for you to handle the content on your website, you might want to install a blog software. Many users choose WordPress because it comes with a simple interface that can be used by anyone.
Become an associate
Once you have set up your website you should sign up as an associate. In order to do this you need to head over to amazon.com and click “Join Associates”. After you do this you need to wait until your website will be manually reviewed.
Amazon Build-a-Link and blog posting links

After you do this, log in to Associates Central and then head over to Build-A-Link. Find Individual items and click on it. By doing this you will be able to build a link with the ID built in.
