Hello there! Today I found out about amazon affiliate program and I don't know what to believe. On one hand, I assume that if you have a really good blog and you talk about, lets say Books, you can use Amazon to sell something and earn some extra cash. On the other hand, if you just started a blog or a site, I think that is no way that you can make someone buy something from you via Amazon because why would they, right? Please, if someone have any idea about this topic or a piece of advice, help me.

Hello, I have a couple of blogs and I am an affiliate of amazon. You can actually choose what products you want to on your blog by copying and pasting the code into your post. You don't have to talk about the products on amazon,however you can find stuff there that has to do with whatever your blog or post is about. I think it's pretty cool and I expect I'll start making money there soon. I haven't made any sales yet, but then my blogs don't get a lot of traffic yet since they are still pretty new. Here's a link to my photo blog if you'd like to take a look. http://jawsphotoblog.blogspot.com/ that's just one that I have the links to the others are on it. Hope this helps and good luck to you.

I have an amazon account as an affiliate. I have only made one sale out of it for the last 3 years. I could tell that I am not ding well on affiliate marketing. It takes a good blog or perhaps effort to sell out things online. But I could see that there are those that are making good sales commission in amazon. Hopefully you will be one of those. I wish you good luck.

Well... I've been a member of Amazon affiliate for a few years and I've never sold anything there. i think you need some targeted traffic to a certain niche and this will give you more possibilities of selling stuff there. My blogs have nothing to do with what is sold on Amazon so that's the probable reason for my failure :)
