Amazon, one of the Big Four tech companies (with the other three being Google, Facebook and Apple) looks for associates who are a value-add for Amazon customers. If you’re a passionate reviewer, stylist, content creator or curator who would like to refer your audience to products on Amazon, you may be the right fit for the Amazon affiliate program or the Amazon Associates. As an affiliate, you can earn 1% – 10% per qualified sale, and $3 – $10 per completed action (Special Program Fees). Here’s how it works:
About Amazon
Amazon is guided by four principles: customer obsession rather than competitor focus, passion for invention, commitment to operational excellence, and long-term thinking. The company is driven by the excitement of building technologies, inventing products, and providing services that change lives. Amazonians research and develop new technologies from Amazon Web Services to Alexa on behalf of their customers: shoppers, sellers, content creators, and developers around the world.
Amazon Affiliate Program
After you sign up, Amazon Associates team will check your application once you’ve driven qualified sales (they require at least three within the first 180 days). In their review, Amazon will check all of the Sites you’ve provided (websites, mobile apps, and social network pages) to ensure that they meet their customer experience bar. All Sites must have robust original content (even when advertising is removed). Your Site must be live and viewable by the general public. Once an application is rejected, it is not reassessed.
- Websites – Content on your website must be recent (generally within the last 60 days). You must own your website.
- Mobile Apps – Your app must comply with Amazon’s Mobile Application Policy requirements.
- Social Networks – Amazon currently only accepts Facebook (including open group pages and fan pages), Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, and Twitch.tv. Your application must clearly list your account or group (do not list the social network URL only). Your social network account or group must be established, with a substantive number of organic followers/likes (in most cases, at least 500). It must be publicly available (for example, no closed group pages).
As an affiliate, you can choose from over a million products to advertise to your customers. Whether you are a large network, content site or blogger, Amazon has simple linking tools to meet your advertising needs. You can earn advertising fees from Qualifying Purchases, not just the products you advertised.
