With Amazon promotions, I like to pick a product and make a top 10 list for that product. For example, cameras, I will take the top 10 rated cameras on Amazon and write a brief review on each one. By doing this, it seems that I get alot of traffic with very little work. I literally will make a site like that and set it and forget it after I optimize it. I get tons of clicks and sales seem to trickle in. I don't stress about it because Amazon is like my 4th stream of income. So whatever it generates is like icing on the cake.

I want to be just like u msi what are the other 3 if u dont mind sharing /

The thing is Amazon has a very good name. Shoppers in the main trust them.

7% of a lot is better than 10% of a little.

I made my first sale (actually three sales) by making an Amazon niche site. The commissions may be small compared to Clickbank, but they convert better.

Wow. this thread was really helpful. Very good info and tips I will definitely put to use. Thanks to all the contributors.

Good share.. Amazon affiliate will truly make us money if we know how to get money with it and take the right action.

Is PayPal the only payment option?

Amazon really is a good way to earn good money but you have to know about your traffic, where it comes from if it´s targeted etc.

pretty solid stuff

One of the biggest factors in Amazon earnings upward swing traffic.

but do they support payment methods like "payza" a.k.a alert pay?? for asian countries?

I been using amazon for over 8 years now to make money. I have built many different amazon websites from blogs to online stores. You can make good money with amazon since they are very trusted and everyone knows the name. If you can get good traffic to your website and get them to click to go to amazon then most times the customer will purchase the item and you earn a commission =).

I posted one of my amazon stores in the signature links.

Amazon's affil program is nice, but I wish the affil commissions were higher.

I've had success with Amazon by making niche sites that are directly related to something Amazon sells. An example would be "how to grow thicker hair" and then throughout the articles on hair growth sprinkle in product recommendations with your affiliate link. Most people will click out of curiosity and some will buy.

Although the commissions aren't great, the add-on sales can be nice. I've had people click my link and then buy a completely unrelated item and I still get the sale because it was my affil link that brought them to Amazon.

That being said, try to think of items that people may not be able to find locally or that people want social proof (Amazon reviews) for.

You've given an important point, I'm also having a blogspot.com blog it got thousands of traffic within a week, however, I didn't get even a single person who clicked the amazon link, I think there is something problem with my niche, I made a review for an android smartphone, that is HTC Android, I think no one like to buy smartphones from Amazon. So, I think it's better to work on Amazon niches that are long-tail. Anyone can give me the list of top 5 Amazon niches?
