Can You Use Amazon Product Images For Affiliate Marketing?

In a nutshell, Amazon affiliate marketing simply is the method of marketing Amazon products in your own website, and which will then make you a commission when your visitors make a purchase from Amazon and enter their personal details. If you already have a website which receives high amounts of traffic, or perhaps you've discovered a profitable niche without too much existing competition, then your website could end up on top of the Amazon ranking list quite easily... provided you use the correct methods. So how do you achieve this? How do you turn a normal website into a prime location for the Amazon logo? How can affiliate marketing help me make money with Amazon?

The very first thing to know about affiliate marketing with Amazon is that it requires you to have an Associates Program account, or at least a Website. Amazon will not just sign you up as an affiliate - they require that you submit certain key points about your own website to their associates program. This includes the affiliate links that you include in your own pages, in blog posts, and in your emails. If you submit your own links and content, and if you do not include the key points specified by Amazon in those areas (for instance, if you write an email content and include affiliate links in it, then you are not taking advantage of the true potentials for affiliate marketing - you're just wasting your time in the long run!}

Some people have tried to promote affiliate marketing for Amazon using WordPress themes, but these have actually been found to be unreliable and less effective than some other techniques. Not only is WordPress itself a bit of a complex program to master, but also the fact that many affiliate links do not work for every product and sometimes the product information is inaccurate, and the theme files often need to be customized. So generally speaking, WordPress themes cannot be seen as an effective way for you to promote affiliate products on Amazon.

The best way to promote affiliate marketing on Amazon is to focus on one product and build up a collection of products related to that theme. If you want to promote books on books, then go ahead and find several similar sounding ebooks on books that are not really closely related. Then put together a collection of these books and include a link to Amazon in the author's area. When someone clicks on this link, you will earn commissions on each sale that comes from this single link.

You might think that this is silly and that it doesn't make sense to take the time to build a library of products that aren't closely related. However, the best part of using Amazon affiliate marketing for this method is that all of the research you did can be done from the comfort of your own home. All you need is a computer with internet access and the software you'll need to automate the entire process. If you're a perfectionist that hates to do things yourself, then this might be the perfect solution for you.

After you've created your collection of books related to your niche, it's time to start researching them. There are a few different ways to do this, but I recommend using keyword research software. This will help you analyze and test out all of the keywords you're going to be promoting. Once you've found some good ones to promote, you want to make sure that you're also including links pointing to them on each of your books. These are the main ingredients of a successful affiliate niche website.

So, once you've built your keyword collection, it's time to move on from keyword analysis to setting up your affiliate marketing product category. There are many different ways to promote products on Amazon, but my favorite is through the "awsome" method: simply choose a specific product category and write an eBook around it. For example, if you chose Pet Behavior Training, then write a book about dog training, with a link to your new Amazon affiliate program.

Finally, once you've found a suitable product, it's time to set up your affiliate marketing website. This typically requires one bit of configuration and one bit of content - the WordPress theme. You can easily find a free WordPress theme for your niche, as well as many premium themes for higher customization options. From there, all you have to do is copy and paste your affiliate code.
