What is Affiliate Marketing and How to Get  Started 

Have you ever thought you could make money by referring people to Flipkart or Amazon?

I’m going to show you How you can make money using Affiliate Marketing

I don't know if you have noticed this

But if you take a look at all the E-commerce sites in India like Flipkart, Amazon or Snapdeal

You'll find a link called “Become an affiliate” or “Make Money with Us” at the end of the page

For example

Let's say: You become an Affiliate for Amazon

And you bring a person to their site

Now if that person makes a purchase

You will get a Commission

When you signup as an Affiliate for Amazon           

You will get an Affiliate link

You need to promote this link

So that you get paid when people buy from it

This is How it Works

A person visits your site and clicks on your Affiliate link

This will take him to Amazon

Once he buys the product you will get the commission

The best part about this is

even if that person buys some other product

you will still get the commission

He or she just has to make a purchase within 24 hours

To do that

First go to Amazon.com

and click ‘Shop by Category’

Now, select a category which you’re most interested in

This is very important because what you choose here

Is going to be the topic of your website in the next step

You can also take a look at the commission rates of all products by going to this link

Once you’ve created your site

You can go to the next step which is to

To do that

Go to Amazon.com

Scroll down to the bottom of the page

and click “Become an Affiliate”

Click this button & complete the Signup process

Once you’re done, you will see this page

Your Amazon associate account is now ready

To do that

First go to Google

and search for Amazon India Bestsellers

Now, click the first link

And select your category from the left side

This will show you the top selling products in that category

Now choose a product which has at least 4 star rating or higher

Take a look at the features

and read the user reviews

to get an idea about the product

If you like it!

Go to the next step

First, go to the wordpress site you have created

Click new & post

Now, start writing an article about the product you’ve chosen

I’m going to write about the Best Running Shoe

Make sure you’ve read all the user reviews & the product features

So that you can list down its pros & cons.

Next, add an image of the product

Now comes the important part adding your Affiliate link

To add your affiliate link

First find a “Buy” button from Google images

Then add it to your article

Now, go to the product page on Amazon

And Click “Link to this page”

Right click here and copy the link address

Then go to the article

Click the buy button and click edit

Select link to Custom URL

and paste your affiliate link

Also check “Open link in a new tab”

Click update and click publish to post the article

Now you can see that, clicking this button, allows the user to buy the product using your affiliate link

So, once you’re logged in

You’ll see the total earnings for the month here

To see the items you've sold, click this link

These are the products people have bought using your Affiliate link

For example, here someone has purchased a Dell laptop for 17,000 rupees

and Amazon has paid a commission of 5%
