How You Can Make Extra Cash With Amazon Affiliates

There are countless ways to make money online, and many of them can help pay the bills or even become your full-time hustle (I mean working from home seems pretty great doesn’t it?).

Now obviously Amazon Affiliates isn’t the only income we make while traveling full-time. I mean, $300 is enough to pay a lot of the bills, but it won’t pay our rent.

But it’s still enough to help lighten the load of many people dealing with financial struggles or just wanting to make a bit of extra cash.

And you can even make more than we have with Amazon! To be honest, it’s not our main focus but it can be yours!

So here is how we make extra cash with Amazon Affiliates.

Who Can Make Money With the Amazon Affiliate Program?

Now if you have a blog or you’re thinking about making one, then this is a great option. In just 4 months after starting our site, my husband and I made it our full-time job and we couldn’t be happier.

However, if you don’t have a blog, then that’s completely fine!

You can market the products you’ve used and liked to friends and family, your social media following, or even on sites like Pinterest.

Now What is Amazon Affiliates?

Amazon has given bloggers (and non-bloggers) the option to get a certain percentage of income when a reader clicks through their special link to buy a product they recommend.

That link has your special tracking code so that Amazon knows who sent that potential buyer.

And guess what? Even if they click through and don’t buy that product, Amazon will still give you a percentage of any other purchase they make within 24 hours, and if the product is shipped within 89 days.

So how to become one? Well it’s free and super easy! All you have to do is sign up here and you’re all set!

Advice Before Starting

If you’re going to try the Amazon affiliate program, then make sure the products you promote are things you’ve used and love.

If you’re just recommending any product to make a sale, two things might happen:

One: The buyer might not purchase it because they can see that you’re just trying to get money out of them. Make sure you write a very convincing reason as to why they need this in their lives.

Second: If they buy it and it turns out to not be a good product, they’ll realize that you were just trying to make a quick buck. All trust will have been lost and they’ll probably never read from you again. So make sure that you’re selling them on something that you know to be great.
