Many years ago, we created an ebook called the Amazonian Profit Plan. This was as a result of many of our readers wanting to know how we made money with the Amazon Associates Program.
Since then, things have changed and although we still heavily promote Amazon products on our websites, we no longer fully follow the steps we created in that ebook. As a result, we stopped selling the ebook a number of years back.
However, we still get requests from people wanting to know if it is still available and we also see people selling the ebook on other websites, even though they have no right to do so.
With this in mind, we decided to make it freely available to everyone.
HOWEVER, before you get started, let me say again that we do things a little differently now and because we’ve made no changes to the ebook, much of the information that you will read is no longer valid and in some cases may be something that Google is not even happy with anymore.
So keep that in mind as you go through the course.
Nevertheless, we felt that there is still some information that may be of some use, like for example, finding the right product to promote and how to write the product review.
Hi Paula, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have a site and I run Amazon affiliate program from the last 3-4 months. But didn’t get that much success. Hope your guide will help me.
It’s going to take a while Ryan regardless of what you do. Three to four months is still only young so just keep at it – don’t give up.
Hi Paula! I’ve been following your blog for last 8 years. Before I really had a hope to make decent living online by following your footsteps. Each time I visit this place I expect something that I could learn and apply as a beginner in Amazon Affiliate program.
Please honestly tell me is affiliate programs really dead for newbies like me? If not then how can I go ahead and fulfill by aim? I’m so desperate to succeed online.
Please guide me.
It’s definitely still possible to make money from affiliate programs – we are doing it and it has nothing to do with being a newbie or someone who has been in the business long term. Personally, I wouldn’t recommend focusing only on Amazon since they just recently reduced their commission dramatically. So Amazon is not necessarily the best way to go these days.
There are so many other affiliate programs – it’s just a matter of finding the right ones that convert for the niche you are in. This can be a bit of testing to see what works.
But really, your first goal is to get people to you site first. The affiliate links on the page are irrelevant really if you have no traffic to begin with.
I’ve learned that good quality articles are the key to ranking in Google, and I mean really good quality articles. Nice and long and full of really good information.
