00:00:00 | 00:00:02 | hello everybody thanks for coming to my |
00:00:01 | 00:00:04 | channel today my name is grace I'm also |
00:00:02 | 00:00:06 | known as lil mama and I'm from the blog |
00:00:04 | 00:00:09 | work anywhere now calm and in this video |
00:00:06 | 00:00:11 | today I'm going to show you how to start |
00:00:09 | 00:00:14 | Amazon affiliate marketing and using |
00:00:11 | 00:00:16 | their affiliate program to build your |
00:00:14 | 00:00:17 | online business and earn Amazon |
00:00:16 | 00:00:19 | Commission's so let's get started right |
00:00:17 | 00:00:19 | now and I'll show you how to do it step |
00:00:19 | 00:00:26 | by step |
00:00:26 | 00:00:31 | so the first thing you want to do is |
00:00:29 | 00:00:33 | actually the name of Amazon's affiliate |
00:00:31 | 00:00:36 | programs I should call Amazon Associates |
00:00:33 | 00:00:38 | so if you type that into Google you'll |
00:00:36 | 00:00:41 | get this as your first link and that is |
00:00:38 | 00:00:43 | how you can get to the program itself so |
00:00:41 | 00:00:45 | you will get to this page when you click |
00:00:43 | 00:00:48 | on that link and so here you can find |
00:00:45 | 00:00:50 | out some information about Amazon's |
00:00:48 | 00:00:52 | affiliate program and what's important |
00:00:50 | 00:00:55 | about the program is that they are very |
00:00:52 | 00:00:58 | finicky and you should really read |
00:00:55 | 00:01:01 | everything about this program if you are |
00:00:58 | 00:01:04 | going to really dive into it and use |
00:01:01 | 00:01:06 | this affiliate program it is a great |
00:01:04 | 00:01:09 | affiliate program for beginners and it |
00:01:06 | 00:01:11 | is a really user-friendly program but |
00:01:09 | 00:01:13 | they do have some quirks that I will go |
00:01:11 | 00:01:15 | over in a second okay |
00:01:13 | 00:01:18 | so quickly though I am just gonna go |
00:01:15 | 00:01:21 | over a few things on this one pay on |
00:01:18 | 00:01:24 | their front page here so you can either |
00:01:21 | 00:01:27 | set up your account join now for free or |
00:01:24 | 00:01:30 | login if you already have an account you |
00:01:27 | 00:01:32 | do want to set up an account here under |
00:01:30 | 00:01:34 | Amazon Associates just so you are making |
00:01:32 | 00:01:36 | sure you are creating your account in |
00:01:34 | 00:01:39 | the right space but if you already have |
00:01:36 | 00:01:42 | an Amazon account you can still use that |
00:01:39 | 00:01:44 | account when you are shopping you can |
00:01:42 | 00:01:47 | still use it that same login for Amazon |
00:01:44 | 00:01:50 | Associates but not to confuse myself I |
00:01:47 | 00:01:53 | use it my business email for in this |
00:01:50 | 00:01:55 | partikular account you are not allowed |
00:01:53 | 00:01:56 | to use your own affiliate links so |
00:01:55 | 00:01:59 | that's the other thing you want to keep |
00:01:56 | 00:02:01 | separate okay that's one of the quirks I |
00:01:59 | 00:02:04 | was telling you about Amazon is that you |
00:02:01 | 00:02:06 | cannot just use your affiliate link and |
00:02:04 | 00:02:09 | send it to your friends and family and |
00:02:06 | 00:02:12 | have them buy off of your links because |
00:02:09 | 00:02:14 | they do not allow that don't ask me how |
00:02:12 | 00:02:17 | they know who your friends and family |
00:02:14 | 00:02:19 | are but they know and you better not be |
00:02:17 | 00:02:22 | earning from your friends and family |
00:02:19 | 00:02:24 | okay so that's a big no-no this is |
00:02:22 | 00:02:27 | definitely a worldwide guy so if I look |
00:02:24 | 00:02:29 | at the countries available here it is |
00:02:27 | 00:02:31 | worldwide it's a lot of different |
00:02:29 | 00:02:33 | countries but not all countries |
00:02:31 | 00:02:37 | obviously it looks like so it's |
00:02:33 | 00:02:40 | basically wherever Amazon is available |
00:02:37 | 00:02:42 | to you make sure you are signing up |
00:02:40 | 00:02:43 | under the right country that you want |
00:02:42 | 00:02:46 | when you're building your business |
00:02:43 | 00:02:48 | you're basically selling on the internet |
00:02:46 | 00:02:50 | and that means that you may get visitors |
00:02:48 | 00:02:52 | from the United Kingdom or from France |
00:02:50 | 00:02:55 | or wherever around the world on your |
00:02:52 | 00:02:57 | website and so you may want to sign up |
00:02:55 | 00:03:00 | for more than one country and you can do |
00:02:57 | 00:03:02 | that so just because you're living in a |
00:03:00 | 00:03:05 | specific country it does not mean you |
00:03:02 | 00:03:07 | can't sign up for other countries so if |
00:03:05 | 00:03:10 | you want to earn from let's say like I'm |
00:03:07 | 00:03:12 | in the United States so if I want I get |
00:03:10 | 00:03:15 | Canadian visitors and I get United |
00:03:12 | 00:03:19 | Kingdom the majority of my traffic is US |
00:03:15 | 00:03:21 | UK and Canada so I would probably sign |
00:03:19 | 00:03:24 | up for three of those they have a |
00:03:21 | 00:03:27 | function inside to link everything |
00:03:24 | 00:03:29 | together is called one link and you can |
00:03:27 | 00:03:32 | offer your readers the appropriate |
00:03:29 | 00:03:35 | Amazon links to use when they're on your |
00:03:32 | 00:03:37 | site the first thing is to join now for |
00:03:35 | 00:03:39 | free and go through their application |
00:03:37 | 00:03:42 | process is very simple and |
00:03:39 | 00:03:45 | self-explanatory to go through they're |
00:03:42 | 00:03:47 | set up or signup process so you just |
00:03:45 | 00:03:50 | gotta join like it's saying here and |
00:03:47 | 00:03:52 | then what you're gonna be doing this is |
00:03:50 | 00:03:55 | the work that you need to do right here |
00:03:52 | 00:03:57 | on this heart where you're you're not |
00:03:55 | 00:04:00 | really like advertising per se like to |
00:03:57 | 00:04:02 | them that's advertising but it's like |
00:04:00 | 00:04:05 | basically how are you gonna promote your |
00:04:02 | 00:04:08 | Amazon products okay and then when you |
00:04:05 | 00:04:10 | earn you're gonna earn up to 10% |
00:04:08 | 00:04:12 | advertising fees meaning these are |
00:04:10 | 00:04:16 | Commission's that you are going to earn |
00:04:12 | 00:04:17 | so then you earn this much money and I |
00:04:16 | 00:04:21 | can show you the categories here this is |
00:04:17 | 00:04:24 | their fee schedule as they say this is |
00:04:21 | 00:04:26 | the associate program standard fee |
00:04:24 | 00:04:30 | schedule which is their commission rates |
00:04:26 | 00:04:33 | and there are very few products that are |
00:04:30 | 00:04:36 | above 5% as you can see only this luxury |
00:04:33 | 00:04:40 | beauty and Amazon coins is that 10% |
00:04:36 | 00:04:44 | everything else is below 5% and majority |
00:04:40 | 00:04:46 | is at 4% with all other categories so |
00:04:44 | 00:04:48 | they recently had a change in the |
00:04:46 | 00:04:52 | decrease some of the rates that they had |
00:04:48 | 00:04:54 | but they are still a pretty good program |
00:04:52 | 00:04:56 | that I would not put all your eggs in |
00:04:54 | 00:04:59 | one basket with Amazon because they keep |
00:04:56 | 00:05:01 | decreasing their program so that's the |
00:04:59 | 00:05:03 | only thing I would have a start with |
00:05:01 | 00:05:07 | them but I wouldn't just use them alone |
00:05:03 | 00:05:09 | so here are some Fe cues that I put |
00:05:07 | 00:05:12 | together that I think you want to know |
00:05:09 | 00:05:14 | okay so of course I just show you if |
00:05:12 | 00:05:16 | this is worldwide meaning well world |
00:05:14 | 00:05:19 | wise in a lot of different countries but |
00:05:16 | 00:05:22 | not everybody and you will earn |
00:05:19 | 00:05:23 | everything in the cart so before as |
00:05:22 | 00:05:28 | explained this I'm gonna explain this |
00:05:23 | 00:05:30 | part too so 24-hour cookie duration so |
00:05:28 | 00:05:33 | what does that mean 24-hour cookie |
00:05:30 | 00:05:36 | duration is when somebody clicks on your |
00:05:33 | 00:05:38 | Amazon affiliate link when they click on |
00:05:36 | 00:05:40 | it from the moment they click on that to |
00:05:38 | 00:05:43 | the moment that they purchase they only |
00:05:40 | 00:05:47 | have 24 hours for you to earn your |
00:05:43 | 00:05:50 | Commission's so let's say they don't buy |
00:05:47 | 00:05:53 | within the 24 hours that they clicked on |
00:05:50 | 00:05:55 | your link to go to Amazon to buy but |
00:05:53 | 00:05:58 | they don't buy right away then they buy |
00:05:55 | 00:06:00 | like 24 hours and a 1 second after they |
00:05:58 | 00:06:03 | had clicked your link then you don't get |
00:06:00 | 00:06:06 | that commission however if they do buy |
00:06:03 | 00:06:08 | within the 24 hour cookie duration you |
00:06:06 | 00:06:11 | get to earn everything in the cart that |
00:06:08 | 00:06:13 | they buy so maybe you are just promoting |
00:06:11 | 00:06:16 | kitchen stuff but then they're also |
00:06:13 | 00:06:19 | buying all sorts of other things like |
00:06:16 | 00:06:21 | tents and you know pet supplies and all |
00:06:19 | 00:06:23 | that but you get to earn all that |
00:06:21 | 00:06:26 | because they are buying within the 24 |
00:06:23 | 00:06:29 | hour computer ation so that is actually |
00:06:26 | 00:06:32 | one of the best perks about the Amazon |
00:06:29 | 00:06:36 | affiliate program and why it's a great |
00:06:32 | 00:06:38 | way to earn from this program and so |
00:06:36 | 00:06:41 | they still have this feature which is |
00:06:38 | 00:06:44 | great but then right here for beginners |
00:06:41 | 00:06:46 | sometimes they could get stuck and they |
00:06:44 | 00:06:49 | may not make a first sale within the |
00:06:46 | 00:06:52 | first 100 80 days so what happens if you |
00:06:49 | 00:06:54 | don't make your first sale in 180 days |
00:06:52 | 00:06:57 | they will close your account and when |
00:06:54 | 00:06:59 | they close your account then you're not |
00:06:57 | 00:07:00 | going to be able to |
00:06:59 | 00:07:02 | gay sales from that same account you're |
00:07:00 | 00:07:04 | gonna have to make some changes on your |
00:07:02 | 00:07:06 | website or something like that and |
00:07:04 | 00:07:09 | reapply so I would suggest if you're |
00:07:06 | 00:07:13 | really brand new to a fillip marketing |
00:07:09 | 00:07:16 | that you do not apply for a account on |
00:07:13 | 00:07:19 | Amazon until you have something that is |
00:07:16 | 00:07:22 | already generating traffic for you |
00:07:19 | 00:07:24 | consistently every single day okay I'm |
00:07:22 | 00:07:27 | gonna keep going and show you the method |
00:07:24 | 00:07:29 | that you should be using okay to |
00:07:27 | 00:07:32 | generate traffic automatikally |
00:07:29 | 00:07:34 | consistently every day so I've mentioned |
00:07:32 | 00:07:36 | the one link and that is something that |
00:07:34 | 00:07:39 | you can use when you are signed up with |
00:07:36 | 00:07:42 | multiple locations on amazon's affiliate |
00:07:39 | 00:07:45 | program and so you can link all that |
00:07:42 | 00:07:47 | with this one link function inside and |
00:07:45 | 00:07:49 | so you could earn between one to ten |
00:07:47 | 00:07:52 | percent majority is four percent |
00:07:49 | 00:07:55 | basically and you do need a website to |
00:07:52 | 00:07:58 | apply because during the signup process |
00:07:55 | 00:07:59 | they will ask you for a website so you |
00:07:58 | 00:08:02 | will need something and i really suggest |
00:07:59 | 00:08:05 | that you go through their terms and |
00:08:02 | 00:08:07 | conditions and read all their rules |
00:08:05 | 00:08:09 | because there's some like offline |
00:08:07 | 00:08:12 | marketing that you're not allowed either |
00:08:09 | 00:08:15 | like email marketing you cannot put a |
00:08:12 | 00:08:17 | fill at links in there okay so the first |
00:08:15 | 00:08:21 | thing you need to do to set up your |
00:08:17 | 00:08:24 | Amazon affiliate website is by deciding |
00:08:21 | 00:08:27 | on a niche okay so the best thing to do |
00:08:24 | 00:08:31 | is look at the sellers of course why do |
00:08:27 | 00:08:33 | all the work when you know Amazon does |
00:08:31 | 00:08:36 | it for you so search Amazon best sellers |
00:08:33 | 00:08:40 | and the first link will get you to this |
00:08:36 | 00:08:42 | page here where it shows you everything |
00:08:40 | 00:08:46 | that is best seller in every single |
00:08:42 | 00:08:49 | category over here okay so this is a |
00:08:46 | 00:08:53 | very very good way for you to check out |
00:08:49 | 00:08:56 | how to or what to promote first of all |
00:08:53 | 00:08:59 | and what niche you can go into so |
00:08:56 | 00:09:01 | definitely pick a niche because when you |
00:08:59 | 00:09:04 | are doing affiliate marketing you are |
00:09:01 | 00:09:08 | trying to become an expert in a certain |
00:09:04 | 00:09:10 | field okay or at least per website |
00:09:08 | 00:09:12 | because when you have visitors coming to |
00:09:10 | 00:09:14 | your website and let |
00:09:12 | 00:09:17 | is a kitchen site like I was saying |
00:09:14 | 00:09:19 | earlier and then you don't want the your |
00:09:17 | 00:09:21 | visitors to be confused if you have like |
00:09:19 | 00:09:23 | soccer items on there right because they |
00:09:21 | 00:09:26 | are thinking you know you are the |
00:09:23 | 00:09:28 | kitchen person and you should develop |
00:09:26 | 00:09:31 | trust in that niche and that's why you |
00:09:28 | 00:09:33 | should only have one niche per website |
00:09:31 | 00:09:36 | you give multiple websites that's not a |
00:09:33 | 00:09:40 | problem but per website you do want one |
00:09:36 | 00:09:42 | niche per website okay so you could go |
00:09:40 | 00:09:45 | through each one of these okay and |
00:09:42 | 00:09:48 | decide what you're going be doing as |
00:09:45 | 00:09:50 | your niche and there are literally so |
00:09:48 | 00:09:53 | many niches that you can go to so if you |
00:09:50 | 00:09:58 | drill down to each one you're gonna find |
00:09:53 | 00:10:01 | that the subcategories can be your niche |
00:09:58 | 00:10:04 | already okay so like wall dacor could be |
00:10:01 | 00:10:06 | a niche bath could be a niche or mat |
00:10:04 | 00:10:07 | back and bedding could be a niche or |
00:10:06 | 00:10:10 | just kitchen stuff |
00:10:07 | 00:10:13 | even within kitchen I mean kitchen is a |
00:10:10 | 00:10:16 | big category and you can do a site just |
00:10:13 | 00:10:18 | on coffee like on hot drinks like that |
00:10:16 | 00:10:20 | and like coffee tea an expresso you |
00:10:18 | 00:10:23 | could do a niche like that or just |
00:10:20 | 00:10:26 | baking or just different types of small |
00:10:23 | 00:10:28 | appliances and the recipes to go with |
00:10:26 | 00:10:31 | that you know there's so many things |
00:10:28 | 00:10:33 | that you can do with a niche now the |
00:10:31 | 00:10:36 | second thing you would need to do is |
