Ways to Earn/Save Money with Amazon: Part I Amazon Affiliate

August 23, 2008 by Briana Carter

There are so many ways to earn/save money on Amazon. I’m going to write a Series (not sure how many it will be right now – 4 or 5 probably!!!) to coincide with my $25 Amazon Gift Card Giveaway – Be Sure to Enter every day for a chance to win!!! (Ends 8/31)

Amazon Affiliate

The first way I’m going to discuss is becoming an Amazon Affiliate. It is very easy if you own your own website/blog domain. Basically, you fill out the application and once you are approved, you can put different widgets on your blog. You can create a store with items you really love, a general Amazon search bar, text links or much more. However, once a person clicks on the link, anything they buy will be credited to your account even if you weren’t “promoting” it. So if you do have sales, your earning rates are below:

  • $12 for each Amazon Prime Member (we will discuss what a PRIME Member is later)
  • 15% on Endless.com referrals
  • 10% on Amazon Gift Cards
  • 4% – 8.5% on everything else depending on how many items are purchased

So once you have sales, how do you get your money? You will be paid in approximately 60 days at the end of the month you earned the sale. You can then choose to be paid by the following methods:

  • Check. You will have to have $100 in earnings before they will cut a check. They will also charge a $15 processing fee for each check. (I wouldn’t recommend this method!)
  • Amazon Giftcard. (Have at least $10 in earnings.)
  • Direct Deposit (Have at least $10 in earnings.)

So far, I’ve yet to have a sale and you can’t earn money off your own widget. Since I shop quite a bit at Amazon (when I find a good sale!), I find another blog that has a widget and shop through them! Someone might as well earn something off my purchase!

    I had thought about becoming an affiliate. Maybe I should research it further.

    I’m not an amazon affiliate but I guess that would be a way to earn a few dollars if you have a blog, which I don’t. I do sell at amazon though and I do pretty well. The only gripe I have is that shipping is generally more costly to me than what the customer is being charged for it. Not so fair because Amazon takes a hefty percentage of the sale and then to lose more on shipping irks me.

    I’m so glad to hear that you go scout out other blogs and use their Amazon links. I always do that but sometimes it’s hard to find Amazon links on blogs. I read in someone’s comment that she sells books on Amazon, I had no clue you could do that. I have a few dollars sitting in my account from purchases from links on my party website way back when so hopefully one day soon my account will grow LOL
