How to Start Amazon Associates Affiliate Marketing in 5 Minutes

You can make money online from home with the 
Amazon affiliate program just by getting people to   click on your links. And in this video, I'm going 
to show you exactly how you can make money with   Amazon affiliates in just 5 minutes. So, let's 
start the timer. The first thing you're going to   do is sign up for an Amazon Associates account. Go 
to Google and search for Amazon Associates. Then,   click the first link here. Just click on the sign 
up button and either sign in to your existing   Amazon account or create a new one if you don't 
have one. Now you're going to enter your account   information here and click on next. Then add your 
website. And if you don't have a website yet,   don't worry. I'll show you exactly how you can 
create one quick and easily later in this video.   After that, type in what you want your Amazon 
Associate store ID to be.

And this can be whatever   you want it to be. Click finish. And boom, you've 
just signed up for your first Amazon Associates   account. Now, just below that, make sure to add 
your tax and bank account information so you can   actually get paid when you start making money, 
which I'll be showing you how to do. After your   account is approved, head over to amazon.com and 
search for any product you want to promote. And   right here at the top of the page, you'll see a 
bar called the Amazon Site Stripe bar.

And you can   select any product you want to be an affiliate 
for. You're just going to need to click text   and it will autogenerate a unique affiliate link 
for you. And this link allows Amazon to track it   so that anytime someone uses or clicks on your 
link, you're going to get paid when they make   a purchase. And you can paste that link on your 
blog, your website, anywhere that someone might   click a link. And again, if you don't already have 
a website, don't worry. In just two minutes, I'm   going to be showing you how to create a website. 
And creating a website is one of the easiest ways   to do affiliate marketing because then a lot 
of people will come to your website.

They'll be   clicking on your links and you'll be making money. 
So I'll show you how to do that in just a second.   But let me give you a real example. Let's say you 
want to promote a tea product. Just search for   that product. Then what you're going to do is copy 
the link and start sharing that link with your   family, your friends, and ideally people online if 
you want to make a lot of money. And you can post   that link on Tik Tok, YouTube, Instagram, your 
blog, which I keep talking about, anywhere that   people are going to be viewing things or looking 
at things. You can post that link and get them   to click on your link and buy things.

And like I 
said, anytime someone clicks on your link, you're   going to earn a commission because you're helping 
to promote to market that product. It's that   simple. But here's the best part. Even if someone 
clicks on your link and decides not to buy the   product that you were promoting, let's say they 
go to Amazon and they buy something else instead,   you're still going to get paid. For instance, 
let's say they read an article that you created   about the best tea on Amazon.

They click on your 
link, but then they decide not to buy the tea and   instead decide to buy some tasty electrolytes. 
You're still going to get paid for getting people   to go to Amazon and buying things in general. But 
now, let me show you how to create your affiliate   marketing blog or website. And this is extremely 
easy to do because we're going to be using a   company called Hostinger. And when you create a 
website, you need a hosting company. And Hostinger   is one of the most affordable and in my opinion, 
the best hosting company out there. And to do   that, you're going to click on the link down below 
in the description. It'll take you to Hostinger's   website. But by using this link, you're going to 
get a huge discount. And then you can click the   claim deal button. This will take you to the plans 
page where you can choose which plan you want to   sign up for.

I recommend going for a longer plan 
because you're going to want to have this business   for more than just a couple months. And when 
you buy in bulk, it actually locks you in at   that discounted rate. And hosting is extremely 
affordable. It's only a couple dollars a month   if you use my link. So prepaying for a few 
years makes a lot of sense to get locked into   that discounted rate. And I do have the hookup 
with Hostinger. If you use coupon code Travis,   you'll get an extra 10% off. I'll put the link in 
the coupon code down below in the description. But   let me show you the rest of the steps of creating 
your website.

So the next thing is you're going to   fill out your billing information, your personal 
details. After that, click submit, secure payment,   and boom, just like that, you now have hosting. 
All you need to do from here is go through and   quickly set up your first website. Again, 
Hostinger makes this extremely easy. They'll   ask you who the website's for. So, choose myself 
or my business. Then it will ask you what you want   to do. And let's say for now we select build a 
website. Now, here's an important part. You'll   be given two choices. One is to use the Hostinger 
drag and drop builder or to use WordPress. To make   this easy, what you're going to do is you're going 
to choose to build your website with WordPress   because it's free, it's super powerful, and it 
works the best with the Amazon affiliate tools.   After that, you're going to create your login 
for the WordPress dashboard.

This is going to be   a different login than your login for Hostinger. 
The next step is to figure out which plugins you   want to use. When it shows you the plug-in list, 
make sure to choose Amazon Affiliates Connector by   Hostinger. This plugin lets you easily insert 
Amazon products and affiliate links straight   into your blog post. You don't need to know how 
to do coding or anything technical to use this.   It's really that simple. Just one click and 
it's done. The next thing that we're going to   talk about is getting your domain name. And with 
Hostinger, you can get a free domain name. And a   domain name is the ww whatever.com you want your 
website to be hosted at. And one of the great   things about Hostinger is the ability to choose 
the best domain extension for your site. This   is the dot com.store.org. Australian websites end 
with.au and for the IRS they use.gov, for example.   But for you, there are a lot of good options. 
Obviously.com is the king, but sometimes you can't   get the com.

So, a couple other options, 
especially if you have an online store,   isstore oronline. So, pick your domain name. Then, 
you'll enter your personal details to register the   domain. Next, you'll choose your target audience. 
And once you're done with that, Hostinger   automatically installs and sets up WordPress for 
you. It's extremely simple and quick. But now that   you have a WordPress website, you need to add 
content to your blog or your website to start   bringing in traffic and clicks to your affiliate 
links. And this is where you can use AI. Hostinger   actually has a AI content writer that's going 
to make writing content for your affiliate blog   extremely easy. You just tell the AI what kind of 
article you want to write. Choose a friendly tone   or whatever tone you want and select how long you 
want the post to be. Then click create and it will   write a full blog post for you including a metad 
description and even AI generated images. You can   then tweak the article however you like. Publish 
it and from there you can start adding affiliate   links to it.

And I'd recommend creating an article 
about whatever products you're trying to sell. So,   if you're trying to sell tea, talk about the 
best green teas on Amazon, the best black teas,   talk about the health benefits of green tea, and 
put links, and you can start adding the products   to your blog post. You just need to go to your 
post, click on the plus symbol right here, search   for link Amazon products in the editor, and you 
can add a single product card, a multiple product   card, or a comparison table to show why one 
product might be better for specific people than   this other type of product.

For instance, let's 
say I was doing a comparison of bourberine tea   versus high caffeine tea. And both these products 
are products that I actually sell on Amazon. And   that's what I usually talk about on this channel 
is how to make money by selling products on Amazon   using Amazon FBA. But you don't need to create 
products to make money with Amazon. You can use   Amazon Associates and affiliate marketing to make 
money off Amazon without having to create your own   product. And all you need to do is search for the 
products and choose your layout. The plug-in will   pull the product info from Amazon, display it 
on your blog along with a buy now button that's   linked to your affiliate ID, and just like that, 
your Amazon Associates affiliate website is live   and set up, ready to go, and it only took around 
5 minutes.

But warning, before you go live,   you need to know a few important rules so you 
don't get banned. And a lot of new affiliates   make these mistakes, so pay attention right now. 
Do not shorten your Amazon links using Bit.ly   or other tools because Amazon doesn't allow that. 
Also, never put affiliate links in emails, PDFs,   or ebooks. Your links have to be on public 
web pages, or on social media. The next   huge mistake most new affiliates make is listing 
the price. Don't list the price on your website   because prices on Amazon change all the time, and 
showing the wrong price can kill trust and make it   so you make less money. I also really recommend 
somewhere on your site that you say you're using   affiliate links to keep things transparent and 
to keep things legal.

And most important, do not   click on your own links and make sure that anyone 
that's ever been on your Wi-Fi, friends or family,   anyone that's ever logged into their Amazon 
account on your Wi-Fi. Do not have them click on   your affiliate links. Amazon can detect this and 
will shut down your account. I've seen it happen   and it sucks. And boom. And that's how easy it is 
to start making money with Amazon Associates by   creating an affiliate website. And again, there's 
a link down below in the description. You can sign   up with Hostinger using coupon code Travis to 
get an extra 10% off. I've got the hookup. I've   got the best deal on Hostinger around. If you 
click on that link, I negotiated with them.   I tried to really make sure that you would get 
a good deal. And Hostinger is already the most   affordable hosting company out there from what 
I've seen. And so by getting an extra 10% off,   you're gonna make sure you secure the best deal 
with one of the best hosting companies out there.   So click on the link in the description to sign 
up for Hostinger and set up your affiliate website   and start making money.

Thanks for watching 
this video and I will see you in the next video.
