But trying to profit from Amazon is extremely difficult, if you don't know what you are doing.

Promoting your Amazon Affiliate Website – Part 1

Creating an amazon affiliate website is a magnificent first step towards the life that you have always dreamt about, including sound financial stability and a job that doesn’t feel like a job anymore.

And in order to make your amazon affiliate business pay for more than your bills, you need to hone out your online marketing skills, because as you can see, the amazon affiliate program is quite different than other online affiliate programs.

Because good products reviews are the pillar of a decent amazon affiliate website, you will have to go several steps further to have an advantage over your competition and make the most out of your affiliate offers, so in this chapter we are going to show you the most successful methods to promote your amazon affiliate websites.

Always link to your posts

One of the best ways to make the content on your amazon affiliate website relevant no matter how much time passes is to always put links between your content. You can do this by linking to other product pages using in text urls within your content.

Take for example this post about “the best wireless exercise earbuds” using an in text url that links to a different product page which also has affiliate links. This way it ensures that older posts continue to be relevant.

Create Lots of DIY content

“DIY” or “do it yourself” content is an amazing traffic magnet because everybody likes to start a good project, and the more tools that list for a “diy” project the better it will convert. Do it yourself tutorials are amazing for bringing in traffic from search engine queries to your website.

Another benefit of DIY content is that it doesn’t look like marketing at all to your visitors, because it is there to guide them through a process that can be hard to tackle by themselves. Take this diy car wash project page, which casually inserts affiliate links to relevant products.

Fine tune your SEO skills

We already told you the importance of using long tail keywords on every piece of product oriented content within your website, but that might have been an understatement because using the appropriate keywords is what will allow you to reach the kind of people interested in the types of products that you promote on your amazon affiliate website.

To find which keywords are useful to use on your niche websites you can simply use Google. There is one thing that will allow you to learn which keywords or set of keywords will leave you with the highest profits.

And that is when your keywords are autocompleted in the search bar before you finish entering your search query. Apply these simple techniques on tour blogs and see how immediate the results can be!

 

Promoting your Amazon Affiliate Website - Part 2

In our latest chapter we showed you how to easily promote the most profitable content in your amazon affiliate website by using a series of high converting yet easy to apply methods that would not require you to shell out any money, and that would only require you to put in a bit of technical effort.

And in this chapter we are going to show you

a series of online tools that can help you to promote your amazon affiliate website without having to worry about going over budget!

The “RatingWidget” plugin

Although it is super amazing and very important to make your content rank on top of Google result pages, it can happen that sometimes your content can be lost among results if people are looking after something too specific, which will make them dismiss some results, including yours!

The “RatingWidget” plugin will help you to avoid this by allowing you to directly insert a star rating system into your WordPress posts, which will highlight your content among others on search engine results!

The “Sumo” Plugin

The “Sumo” plugin is a free lead capturing tool that will allow you to offer to your affiliate site visitors an easy way to sign up for a newsletter or email lists so you can use email marketing to promote your amazon affiliate website.

SumoMe has additional features besides easy newsletter sign ups such as a heatmap feature that will allow you to see where your visitors are clicking so you can study their behavior and prepare better marketing strategies!

The “Qeryz” plugin

“Qeryz” is a free plugin that will allow you to insert micro surveys on your amazon affiliate websites, which can help you to discover stuff about your visitors such as purchasing habits, demographics, time spent on the internet daily and perhaps even their income brackets!

The “Thank Me Later” plugin

Most of the time people make comments on a website and forget about it, but this is a plugin will allow you to send “thank you” emails to people after they leave a comment for the first time on your site, which is great because it increases engagement and repeating visitors!

The “DiggDigg” plugin

This plugin will allow you to insert social sharing buttons that will make it easier for your visitors to share your content on basically any of the social platforms that matter, which is great if you want others to socially promote your amazon affiliate website without you asking!

The “WPtouch” mobile plugin

Having a fully responsive website has become more important than ever, and it is quite surprising that even big platforms such as “Google AdSense” just recently introduced mobile ad units, which is leaving a lot of money out on the table for internet marketers.

The “wptouch” mobile plugin is the answer to that. Just install it on your WordPress site and boom!

You now have a fully responsive site to easily promote to your mobile traffic!

Building an Amazon Affiliate Empire the Right Way

An Amazon affiliate business has to sound like the best idea in the world to anyone serious about making a living from online sources, and we dare to say that perhaps it sounds too good to be true in most cases.

You will find lots of people that have become successful amazon

affiliates and are making five and six figures salaries from their affiliate websites alone, and they have good reasons to be hyped about the U turn that their lives made thanks to the amazon associates program.

And maybe that is why many people think that, really, an amazon affiliate business is too good to be true. What those people don’t realize is that building an amazon empire the right way can be a monumental task at first, especially if you are not tech savvy.

But it pays off very well in the end, and in this chapter we are going to show the elements that have allowed many people to leave their day jobs by building successful amazon affiliate businesses!

Always Be On The Lookout For New Niches

The best way to make a living as an amazon affiliate is by building several affiliate websites, each one dedicated to a high converting niche. Those people making millions in amazon affiliate revenue are not killing it with just one website, they have an army of affiliate websites and they are putting their hearts and souls into

keeping them relevant!

Collect Long Tail and Low Search Keywords At First

We are aware that we have already mentioned keywords a bit too much during this training, but quality keywords will be the backbone of your amazon affiliate businesses. Sometimes it will be easier to find your niche by finding keywords first, and sometimes you will find your keywords by deciding a niche first.

The truth is that even low-search keywords are important because they will help you to rank your amazon affiliate websites on top. Do your keyword research on Google and look for niche sites on the third, fourth and fifth pages of results and collect all the keywords that they are targeting.

Write Lengthy Content On Your Sites

You will have to become used to writing helpful content. Remember that amazon doesn’t like sales pitches, they only want quality content linking to their products. Coincidentally, this is what will make it easier for you to write lengthy content.

Why? Because lengthy content will allow you

to set your imagination free and to cover everything there is to cover about a particular product or set of products. Content that goes as far as 7,500 words is also favored by Google, so take your time!

Always select the best Hosting Services

You will be tempted to go cheap at the beginning, but there will come a time when you will have to shell out money on quality services. This includes your hosting services, because Google dislikes and even penalizes sites that are slow to load, which is bad for your affiliate business!

Do Not Focus On Social Media Too Much

Having a social media presence is important for your business, but do not count on it to make your affiliate business better. Unless you can have a dedicated person taking care of your social media channels, being in charge of social media will eat up time that you can dedicate to your affiliate websites.

Work towards becoming an authority

Becoming an authority in your niche will give you an extra edge because your sites will be the go to sites for people looking for answers. Do your research on popular sites such as “yahoo” answers” and on forums and focus on creating content geared towards answering those questions.

We are pretty sure that you are stunned by how easy it is to transform something so simple as a product oriented website into a money making machine when you simply employ something like the amazon associates program.

And we are also sure that some of the stuff offered by the amazon affiliate platform has

taken you by surprise, and we are not done yet! In this chapter you are going to learn what are the “Amazon native shopping ads”.

What are the amazon native shopping ads?

Amazon Native Shopping ads are ad units similar to those featured by other ad networks such as Google AdSense. These native shopping ads will generate the same kind of affiliate income that affiliates generate, and you will be able to use it on pages where no amazon affiliate links are featured.
