Amazon Affiliate Marketing is an excellent way to earn passive income online. It allows you to promote products from the world’s largest online marketplace and earn commissions for every sale generated through your affiliate links. If you are interested in getting started with Amazon Affiliate Marketing and want to learn the step-by-step process, then you have come to the right place. In this article, we will guide you on how to start Amazon Affiliate Marketing and become an Amazon Associate in 2023.
Step 1: Sign up for the Amazon Associates Program
The first step in starting your Amazon Affiliate Marketing journey is to sign up for the Amazon Associates program. Go to the Amazon Associates homepage and click on “Join Now for Free.” You will need to have an active Amazon account to proceed. Fill in your personal details, website information (if applicable), and provide tax information. Read and accept the terms and conditions of the program.
Step 2: Choose a Niche
Decide on a niche or a specific category of products that you want to promote. It is advisable to select a niche that you are passionate about or have knowledge in, as this will make it easier for you to create content and engage your audience. A good niche should have a decent demand for products and a reasonable level of competition.
Step 3: Build a Website or Blog
Having a website or blog is crucial for your Amazon Affiliate Marketing. It serves as your online platform to showcase your content and promote affiliate products. Choose a suitable domain name that reflects your niche and register it with a hosting provider. Set up a WordPress website and customize it according to your preferences. Create valuable and engaging content related to your niche to attract and retain visitors.
Step 4: Research and Choose Affiliate Products
The next step is to research and choose the affiliate products you want to promote. Visit the Amazon website and go through the various categories to identify products that align with your niche. Look for popular products with good reviews, high ratings, and a decent commission rate (usually between 4-8%). Consider the product’s demand, relevance to your audience, and potential profitability.
Step 5: Generate Affiliate Links
Once you have chosen the products you want to promote, you need to generate affiliate links. On your Amazon Associates dashboard, search for the product using its ASIN or name. Click on “Get Link” to generate a unique affiliate link for that product. You can customize the link using Amazon’s SiteStripe or use a plugin like “Easy Azon” to streamline the process. Affiliate links are essential as they track customer referrals and attribute commissions to your account.
Step 6: Create Valuable Content
Content plays a vital role in attracting and converting visitors into buyers. Create high-quality and relevant content around the products you are promoting. Write product reviews, tutorials, comparison articles, or informative guides that provide value to your readers. Use persuasive and compelling language to entice your audience to click on your affiliate links and make a purchase.
Step 7: Drive Traffic to Your Website
To make sales and earn commissions from your affiliate links, it is crucial to drive traffic to your website. Utilize various marketing strategies to promote your content and website. Optimize your website for search engines (SEO), engage in social media marketing, guest blog on relevant websites, participate in online forums and communities, and consider paid advertising options such as Google Ads or Facebook Ads. Focus on building a loyal audience that trusts your recommendations.
Step 8: Analyze and Optimize
Once you start generating traffic and sales, it is essential to analyze your affiliate marketing performance and optimize your strategies. Use Amazon Associates reporting tools to track your clicks, conversions, and earnings. Conduct A/B testing, experiment with different types of content, affiliate links placement, and promotional techniques. Keep a close eye on your analytics to identify what works best for your target audience.
By following these step-by-step instructions, you can start your Amazon Affiliate Marketing journey in 2023. Remember, success in this field requires consistent effort, patience, and perseverance. Keep learning, adapting, and improving your strategies to maximize your earnings as an Amazon Associate.

So, I have a question. I signed up, but I want to make a gift guide with multiple pictures. However, none of the products I've chosen so far have a photo that is just the product and not being modeled. How are people getting those types of images when I'm not allowed to edit the Amazon images for affiliate marketing? I hope that made sense, but I've spent the last week trying to figure it out.
im really interested In doing this! been looking for a way to make money online, how do I grow my tin Tok account? I would rather not show my face thank you !
Didn't able to approvey instagram.or tiktok from amazon affliate
Baddie, you are the best! Thank you and I echo others in your sharing step-by-step with us!
Hi Isabella. So you said we need atleast 500 followers on any social media handle to be eligible for Amazon influencer program. I have more than 500 followers on my tiktok account but they said my account does not meet the eligibility requirements. Why's that?
What if you have multiple Instagram account and you want to use a specific one. How can you select the one you want when you’re signing up?
Thanks for the video!
You recommend better the influence vs the associate amazon account?
This is such a great video! Thank you for sharing! If I start an Amazon affiliate link, do you know what percentage of commission you get starting out? Can it get higher the more followers you have? Is Target and Walmart the same?
I applied with Tik tok yesterday and instantly was denied with 65k followers, I have no clue why. Only thing I can think of was I did it from my lap top so copied the url as a website and not an app. Do you know if that makes a difference?
Do we get the commission, even if the buyer purchases using our link in Cash On Delivery method?
I just applied and have over 800 followers on IG and got rejected. And I have 1800 on FB. Any advice on how or why not getting accepted?? If you don’t have a store front do you just send links to products you sell??
Hi quick question I'm in South Africa can I sign up as well? Coz I'm struggling to get the right Amazon sites
Baddie, I have made the decision to create my Amazon Marketing Affiliate Program. I am the bestselling author of the ebook From Homeless To Greatness The Shaundi Goins Story. I recommend self-help books that will empower you to achieve your dreams. I noticed we can promote multiple products. Should I just stick to promoting self-help books, or other products as well? If yes, should I promote products I like or what could be in-demand products? What are your thoughts? Any suggestions from anyone in the comments list is much appreciated as well. Thabk you so much Baddie Business.
I had been hesitant about starting an online business. Watching this video, I decided that I will go for it! Thank you for this video!
you are provideing so much value. thanks baddie in the business.

I have a1000 f on n TikTok and I got rejected
Bunch of BS! Ive tried and was not accepted. And i have over 1k followers. And who the heck can get over thousands of followers on TIKTOK overnight???!! That's not how it works.
Hi Baddie in Business! Noticed your amazing work in e-commerce. Ever considered leveraging your influence for affiliate partnerships?
It was exciting until I was not accepted on any platforms.:( I just can't seem to generate followers after years of trying.
someone did it?
I have 1000 followers on youtube, 3000 followers on instagram, and 6000 followers on tiktok. Amazon has denied me for each account, don't waste your time doing this.
Are you Emma from Jessie Disney’s show??
Great video! I really do have a question. For someone with less than $10,000 to invest, how would you recommend we enter the crypto market? I am looking at studying some traders and copying their strategy rather than investing myself and losing money emotionally.What’s your take on this approach?
i love you <3 from pakistan
So you have to have your own website first right before you can do any off this?
Did they change the eligibility requirements? I have a youtube channel with over 500 followers and I didnr qualify
Does the product have to have an affiliate program attached to it? Like can I market any products where I don’t need to sign up for an affiliate program? Or is it where we can only market those products from affiliate programs?
Has anyone run into the problem of not meeting the eligible requirements? However I do meet the minimum follower requirements?
And what if each social media isn't "eligible" ? So whack to preach like its easy as fuck and then need tons of followers or likes to even get started lol
Hi, great video. I have almost 1100 followers and I changed the account type to buisness but still it says "not eligible for associate account" can you please help
