Everybody knows Amazon's webstore. They are surely one of the most famous online vendors on the planet. They may even be one of the most famous retailers full stop. But what do you associate with Amazon? DVDs, Books, CDs, personal gadgets and electronics. I suppose these days the Amazon Kindle reader might be the first thing a lot of people associate with Amazon.
The fact of the matter is that Amazon sell an incredible range of items at their online retail outlet. You can purchase all sorts of things for your home, lightbulbs, hoovers, pots and pans, tools, toys and games. You can download music and video without having to wait for a CD or DVD in the post. You can even shop for groceries on Amazon.
As fascinating as this is - what does it mean to you? If you're interested in making money as an affiliate then the enormous range on offer at the Amazon store offers a tremendous opportunity for you. There's bound to be something that will be of interest to your potential customers - all you have to do is get them to visit the Amazon website via one of your affiliate links and let Amazon do the selling for you.
Amazon, as you would probably expect, is very good at getting people to buy stuff online. It's how they built their online empire - and they are very good at it. Apart from all the very effective sales techniques that they have perfected - the free postage, the list of similar items that go well with your chosen goods, the informative e-mails whenever they're running a special offer - they enjoy a very high level of both trust and brand recognition amongst the buying public. Combine the high trust levels for the Amazon brand with similar brand recognition and trust of the products on offer - Sony, Microsoft, Apple for example - and it will be easy for you to attain a high sales conversion rate.
Amazon's affiliate program - or the Amazon Associate scheme to give it its official title - is one of the oldest in existence. That's a sure sign that they've got something right and that the scheme is a good one, both for the company and the affiliates who promote it. It's free to join so there's no risk for you. You will need your own website - but that could be a free blogger blog if you wish. Whatever website you use, Amazon need to approve it. This is quite a simple process. Basically as long as you don't have any hate, racist or "adult" theme to your site, and as long as you don't use the word Amazon in your url, Amazon will probably approve your site. In the unlikely event that there's a problem, you can apply again as many times as you like using an alernative site or blog.
The sign up process is simple, free and fast. In just a matter of minutes, you could be promoting items from Amazon's huge range of products. So instead of spending all your time marketing e-books that hardly anyone wants, you could be selling real stuff to real people and making real money.
