 Amazon pays out hundreds of thousands of affiliates, millions of dollars every year, and I'm going to show you in this video how you can get paid from Amazon without having to spend any of your own money anywhere in the world, no matter what age you are, whether you have zero experience doing internet marketing, and you can sell products on Amazon without having to spend a dime. I'm going to be discussing whether or not Amazon is a good affiliate opportunity compared to the rest of things in this video. I'm going to be doing a complete walkthrough on my computer over there, and I'm going to be discussing a few other important terms to help you understand this business, this industry called affiliate marketing, so that you can get started getting paid by Amazon. I'm also going to share with you at the end some free link posting software that we developed, my software team developed. I'm going to give you free community access so you can interact with other affiliates, and I'm also going to show you where you can access all of the free traffic methods so that you can get people clicking on your links and buying the products that you want them to buy for free, and we're going to be going over all of this on a sheet. I'll give you access to write this down where I'll be with all of the affiliate networks I've currently reviewed. I'll be breaking down the pros and cons of Amazon's affiliate program compared to the rest, so get ready. We're going to go over a lot of stuff on my computer. Hey, John and Kristina here, and if you want to follow along with me, make sure you go to this page right here, pause the video, write this down, et cetera, if you want to follow along. Once again, I suggest, I know you kids like to be like, does this method work and watch it on portrait mode? Go to landscape mode, follow along, Amazon's a real affiliate, all these things are real, so just if you're skeptic, I would suggest just don't go on my channel. Not going to believe anything anyways, and also I would suggest you do this on a laptop computer so you can really get the most out of this. Now here on this sheet, this is the sheet that links go to. I have all of the affiliate networks listed out with all of the different aspects of them. You can join any network you want by clicking over here. Now a few things to note about Amazon Associates is that this is the largest e-commerce website in the world. It's a trillion dollar company. It's unbelievably amazingly big, huge affiliate opportunity, but there are some issues with this for many people. One is that yes, it does require approval. In order to get approved, I'll go over resources later that show you how you can get approved. You'll need some sort of social media. You can promote this on a public-facing page that the reviewers can look at, or you'll need a website. Also, if you're looking for free traffic methods, again, go to the resources, go to the links in the description. We have plenty of free traffic methods. This is not the video for you. Although if you're looking for my free traffic methods and you haven't found them already, you probably don't understand how affiliate networks work either, so I'd suggest you watch this video. Also, the excluded countries. There are many excluded countries for Amazon affiliates, likely if you are in Libya or Algeria or Zimbabwe or wherever. You probably won't be accepted. The Amazon Associates is really for mainly first world countries, US, Germany, Netherlands, Denmark, Canada, New Zealand, Alaska, Hawaii. There are many excluded countries not everyone can promote, but that being said, there are millions of offers. This is the largest affiliate network in the world by far. You can sell anything on Amazon. What's great is that once you are accepted to Amazon, you don't have to be approved. That is a positive, but they don't offer high ticket. Another negative about Amazon is that they have very low commissions. The average commission is about 50 cents. There are programs, but again, you have millions of products to choose from. You can find more expensive programs. There's no support. There are tools. There's no training. There's no community. There's no cost to join. The payout method is through check. They will send you a check, and you must earn $100 in order to get paid out. Without further ado, let's get into Amazon and learn how we can make money with this. In order to join Amazon Associates, once again, I put the links in here, and you'll end up on this page where it says, Amazon Associates, A to Z, earn up to 10% advertising fees with a trusted e-commerce partner. You will want to click this link right here, which says, join now for free, right there. Click there to join for free. Now, once you get accepted to Amazon's program, your dashboard when you log in will look something like this, and you'll see a number of different sections here, product linking, promotions, tools, reports, help, et cetera. You'll also see the number of clicks, the number of fees, and the number of bounties, and I'll explain bounties in a second when I start explaining some of the terms. As you see, I haven't earned a lot from this. I don't really focus on Amazon's affiliate program every now and then. I recommend some books to people, but what is great about Amazon's affiliate program is they have very high conversion rates. Look at this, because people trust Amazon so much, and oftentimes, people's credit cards are already preloaded in Amazon. All they have to do is click on your link, buy, and they've bought it. So 20% conversion rate, and that's very normal for Amazon, usually 10 to 20% even higher. Now, let's check out how this actually works and how we get links. So one way you can find products is you can search for products here, and I'll type into words such as generator, and we will find a bunch of generators. We see a couple hundred dollars, and maybe I'm putting together a resource guide for preppers to live off the grid. So would I rather make less money or would I rather make more money? I'm going to rather make more money. So I'm going to click right over here. If we want to get our link, we're going to click right here to get our link. See right there, right there, and we're going to click get link. And also, folks, if you're asking anybody who asked me if you can do this at a certain age or in a certain country or on a tablet or a phone, please, yes, any age, any type of device, but if you're asking me about countries, I will ban you. From ever commenting again, it annoys me, you can go to Amazon and email them. So write your comment to them. I don't know every single country of every single affiliate program. So write to Amazon. Now here we see, we can get a link over here and we can get an HTML code for this or we can get a, we just maybe want the text link. So we would go over here, we would click text only because we just want an actual link, we can post somewhere. And what I would type, you can select standard link or short link. Standard link, short link. Doesn't matter which one you select, but this is something you can share with a friend. Or if you really want to share with a friend, I'd get the short link and you'd copy this, copy. And let's say we're putting together a resource guide or something, or Facebook post, a bunch of products to buy, we post in the link. And as you'll see, this goes to the generator. And if somebody buys this generator, you earn, usually it's 4%. So that's how you do it. That's how you get your link. And as you see, then they'll handle the payment through check every 30 days. Now, if you're wondering exactly how much you get paid, what you would do is you would go over here to help and then advertising the schedule right there. Now, if you scroll down on this page, you will see the percentage rates that you earn for every single program here. Fixed standard program fee rates. So you'll see for certain items they'll pay more, such as luxury, beauty, Amazon coins, 10%. And presumably these are products which Amazon has a hard time selling currently. And that's probably why they're willing to pay more money, because they really want to incentivize you and pay affiliates a lot of money to promote them. And you'll see there's other products where, you know, like alcoholic beverages or gift cards, they don't pay anything for 0%. So if you're in Amazon's program, you don't want to promote any of these programs, because you won't get paid anything. For most products, though, you'll see Kindle devices, jewelry, watches, ring, luggage, shoes, et cetera, you get paid 4%. 4%, as you see, all other categories is sort of the standard commission rate. So if you sell, in our example, I was selling a $1,000 generator, we would get paid $40 commission for helping assist that sale, okay, as an affiliate. Now, Amazon also has special program fees, which are called bounty events. And that is where you will get paid a fixed amount. If you get somebody to, for instance, if you get them to sign up for Prime Video, you get $2.50. Or if you get somebody to, you know, sign up for, you know, Audible, okay, you get $10 and so on and such forth. They have a bunch of these different types of programs. And I'll explain what a bounty is in a second, but essentially get a fixed rate. Amazon also has some nice things called native shopping ads. So if you already have a website, you can use Amazon ads instead of Google ads and possibly earn more money. And here we are in the native shopping ads. And if you scroll down, you will see that, you know, here's coffee concierge, you know, they earned an $8 and 71 ECPM with native shopping ads. And, you know, they have various case studies here of people using native shopping ads, which basically puts Amazon's ads on your site, as opposed to Google ads. So now we're getting to some interesting terms, which I'm going to explain for you newbies here. I'm assuming you have no experience, no understanding of affiliate marketing. But what I suggest you do is hit that like button for the YouTube algorithm, subscribe to my channel, and continue following videos and continue learning, go through and apply as many things, apply for affiliate networks and apply as many free traffic methods as you can. But let's get into these terms. So what native ads are is native ads look native to the website they're on. It means they look like part of the website. They don't look like ads. And that's why they work, because people don't really want to click on ads. You know, people don't want to be sold, people want to buy, and it's a slight difference. But essentially, you know, Facebook ads are what's called native, because they look like part of Facebook. They just have a little sponsored thing there. Google ads are kind of native, because they look like part of their search results. Native ads are just Amazon's, you know, form of that. And they work, they work very well. But only if you have a website, I'm assuming you don't have any. ECPM is sort of an advanced term. What it means is effective cost per million, okay? Effective cost per million, which is a Latin word. And what that actually means is for, I know it says mill, you'd think it would be a million, it actually means 1000. An 871 ECPM means that every 1000 users that visit a website are worth $8.71. Or in other words, it means every person who visits your website is worth a little less than a penny. Promotions. What promotions mean is that sometimes Amazon has certain products that they want to push. They want their affiliate army. They have, you know, millions of affiliates. They want their affiliate army to promote more aggressively. And they're willing to pay additional money for their affiliate army to promote those products more effectively. So that's why they'll promote them. They'll pay you extra money. And these are good things to watch out for if you're just beginning and you're like, I don't know what to do. I don't know where to go. I don't really know even if I want to do anything. Start with some of the promotions. Why not? It might be a good place to start. And the last thing is bounty. Bounty is similar for people more advanced to a CPA, meaning you are getting a flat rate for every time you sell a particular thing. Now, let me know if I'm going too fast through everything, meaning and maybe it's too advanced for you. Just type in too fast in the comments below. If you believe I'm going too slow and you're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I understand what ECPM and bounty and all this stuff are. Just get, you know, get to the other stuff. Type in too slow. If it's good, if it's enjoyable, hit the like button, subscribe to the channel, type in enjoyable. And if you're just looking for free traffic methods, guys, I already told you, go to my channel, check out the free traffic methods. I did have them in other videos. I'm reviewing Amazon, you know, I can't do everything in one video. Now, in terms of the additional resources, once again, go to johncrestani.com back slash networks. And I'm going to go over all of the additional resources as well as the free traffic methods for you. Okay. So to get traffic for free, you will want to go to this This link which says get traffic for free, which is JohnCristani.com backslash start here. These are all of my free traffic methods. This will take you to really it's just a playlist on my channel homepage, which you can access there as well. Again, if you're on your mobile phone, you probably are like, I can't click links. Get on a computer. Again, and if you're watching a mobile, if you're watching this video on portrait mode, shame on you, flip it to landscape mode, take yourself seriously about something. On my channel page, you scroll down to the bottom and you go down right here to where it says free traffic methods and you'll see all the methods. Instagram, I show you how to get free traffic on Instagram, I show you how to get free traffic on Facebook, on Google, on Pinterest, on everything, on Craigslist. Every major website I show you how to get free traffic on, but again, I've done almost every single one. If you want to make money, you don't watch the videos. Once again, I've looked at it. People who watch videos on portrait mode, they never take action, never. You want to watch these on a computer so you can actually follow along and pause the video and actually start doing these methods and start making money. Other things, in order to get accepted as an affiliate, which is very important for Amazon's program, I have a link right here which will take you to a file which will show you how to get accepted as an affiliate. I have a bunch of things in this document, some pro tips of how to get accepted as an affiliate, such as stating a specific niche, stating a specific traffic source, even if you don't know what you want to do, just take a guess and say what it is, how you're going to send traffic. You should have a website. I'm just going to type in how you can get a website right here. I suggest you sign up with this hosting company right there. You can actually get a website, because if you don't have a website, you probably won't be accepted to Amazon's program. I won't go further into it, but you can check that. If you're looking for this free software tool, you want to go to these links here. This is in beta. We haven't had the software certified yet, so it will say, most likely, when you download the software, it's a virus. It's not a virus, and you will need to fill out a few fields. You will need to also download and use the associated CSV file here. This will allow you, what the software does is it automatically downloads videos from YouTube. It re-uploads them to a number of other video sharing sites, and then it puts your affiliate link underneath each video so that these videos, and it does it all automatically, hands off for you in an invisible browser underneath your main one, so it won't affect anything. All you need to do is start running it and leave your computer on, and it will go through and it will re-upload all of these videos to various sites on the Internet. Really powerful stuff, working on it, we're tweaking it, we're just in the beginning stages.

Last but not least, I encourage you to join our affiliate community. Again, for those asking about my WhatsApp or how do I talk to me, look, I don't want to talk to some sweaty, smelly dude in Africa or Asia or something, no offense. That's not what I want to do in my free time, like, oh, yeah, buddy, here, I'll help you. Don't ask me for my email or any of that stuff. Join the community, interact with other affiliates, work together, find partners, do whatever, I don't know, but I put a space for you guys all to connect, help each other out, ask each other questions, again, I don't have much time. The free time I do have, I'm not going to spend it talking to some random dude. Okay, sorry, it's just not my thing. So check those out. I hope you enjoyed this video. I hope you learned a little bit about Amazon Associates and how you can use this affiliate program to make a lot of money. There are many affiliates out there making a lot of money with Amazon Associates because there's so many products you can sell. A few other pro tips I'd advise is go for expensive products like I named like Generator and sell many products. I'm a real big fan of resource guides, like creating a resource guide for, you know, survivals or working at home or for, you know, building a solar panel kit. You know, list out a ton of things. If you're remodeling, if you're trying to build your own home solar panels, list out 20 items that people buy from, you know, can buy from Amazon or show people how to go backpacking on the Pacific Crest Trail and list out 40 items that people that are must have items if you're going to go on a backpacking trip, you know, wherever and have people buy all of them or scuba diving gear, for instance, if you want to go scuba diving by these 30 items, stuff like that, you can actually make a lot of money with Amazon because people want to get the full thing and you'll make 30 commissions instead of selling one product. So that's really easy with Amazon. Hope you enjoyed this video. Once again, make sure you subscribe and enable all notifications. I look forward to speaking again with you soon.
