Making money without knowing!
I was never with Amazon associate program because of the low commission rates. Despite of this, I tried to monetize my blog with amazon. I left it for few days without promotion.
I'm totally surprised with this. I've been neglecting a huge earning source that I could make hundreds of dollar.
You guys should try this as well, if you currently aren't. It's totally worth it! The best thing is people can buy ANYTHING on amazon through your affiliate link.
It'd be my pleasure to share my strategies with you guys :)
So, here some important tips and what I do to bank with amazon:
--- First and the most important thing I do is add the affiliate link WITHIN the content.
Basically, I add a product picture, a little description for it, and a call to action link in a post. Now HERE comes the tricky part. Most people just add a affiliate link in call to action or product name. Here, what I do is add affiliate link to product image, product name and call to action.
Why? Because people LOVE images. It's a human nature. Visual images increases attention and MAKE people to buy the things they want. So make sure you add up a high quality image of your product and make it clickable with your affiliate link.
--- Don't bother using amazon banner aStore in your site, people barely click on it and it doesn't covert.
--- Make a useful list post about the things that people actually want to buy. Or you can create best seller list available in Amazon.
I'm testing with Amazon 'Buy Now' buttons within the post, I'll keep you guys update about it and my new strategies.
Good luck!
