Does Amazon affiliate marketing work? I am going to answer that question in this
video. And I'm going to show you what does work. And I'll be showing you a few
examples of products you can sell and make insane Commission's using Amazon
affiliate marketing. Let's get it. Amazon affiliate marketing it's the biggest
affiliate network out there. It's also one of the ones that offers the lowest
commissions. Now, I personally advise people get started with affiliate
marketing on Amazon just to understand how it works. But you might be wondering,
"Does it actually work to make you a lot of money?" Most cases, no. Okay? And I'm
going to go over what does not work in Amazon affiliate marketing. But it does
work and there are people earning full-time substantial millions of
dollars a year income from Amazon and I'll explain you what that is. I'll also
be showing you some examples on my computer of what you can do to make
Amazon work. So first of all, what doesn't work? Selling books, you're going to make
most products on Amazon. You earn 3 to 5 percent commission on, okay?
That's not a lot of money. You're not gonna be a millionaire selling books and
earning 30 to 50 cents on. So, no category goes books, okay?
Almost everything under a thousand dollars actually is not a good choice
for selling as an affiliate on Amazon. So, what does work? Well, basically anything
over a thousand dollars. And I'll be showing you examples of these here. So,
things that work over a thousand dollars or things such as cameras, drones, VR gear,
virtual reality gear. Generators, high-end vacuum cleaners and all sorts of other
very expensive products that you can't really find in any other affiliate
network. Now, let's go in my computer and I'll show you some examples of the
products that you can sell on Amazon as an affiliate and make a lot of money. Okay,
so here I am on Amazon. And if we search for stuff like Nikon
camera, right? We'll see there's all sorts of products here. It's 649 dollars. That
means if you earn even 5% Commission, you're earning 30-some bucks on this
camera equipment. Now, if any of you are familiar with the mega YouTuber Casey
Neistat, the way make Casey Neistat made most of his first money when he was
YouTubing was actually through affiliate marketing for cameras on Amazon. He put
all of the links to his recommended camera equipment, his drones, his tripod,
his gorilla arm stuff. All that stuff. All of his lenses as affiliate links on his
YouTube channel. And that's how he made a lot of money. Because when he began, the
reason people were following Casey Neistat was because he was amazing at
videography. The videos he do that he does or still does are absolutely
beautiful. And he's really good with his equipment and editing and all that stuff.
So, that's why people followed him in the beginning and that's how he made money.
Other things you can sell from high ticket items on Amazon include stuff
like vacuum cleaners. If we look at vacuum cleaners, I mean this is hundreds
of dollars. But you can find vacuum cleaners for thousands of dollars and
let me show you an example. If we look at best vacuum cleaners which I just did a
search of here, we'll see there's top five vacuums. The first result is an ADD
top five vacuums of 2019, vacuum buyer's guide. Best reviews. And it takes us to
this site and we see there's a Dyson vacuum, a Hoover vacuum, a shark vacuum.
And all of these you can't purchase on amazon.com. Now, these are all affiliate
links. And what this company is doing is they are buying ad space. Maybe they're
spending about a buck and they're hoping that if you're looking for the best
vacuum cleaner, you'll buy one of these and they'll make let's say 30 bucks.
Because you bought a vacuum cleaner through them and they made their
affiliate commissions. So they spend a buck to make 30. Great idea. The one other
instance where Amazon affiliate marketing works is when you have
insanely high volume. It can be of cheap items but let me do a
search here in Google for best baby diapers for a newborn girl. A very
reasonable search probably many people do everyday.
Now, here we get 11 best diapers of 2019. Now, this is just an average blog, right?
They don't actually sell anything, they're not going to profit from you. It's
just a mom helping a mom, right? Well, maybe, maybe not. If we go to this site,
the first thing we see is our editors independent, blah, blah, blah, blah. We may
receive commissions on purchases made from our chosen links. And if we see here,
there's 11 links from Amazon and guess what every link has? It has their
affiliate ID, okay? Right there on every one of these links is their affiliate ID.
And what we can see is their affiliate ID is very well family - 20. That's their
affiliate ID. Amazon affiliate marketing in summary works in 2 cases. Either
you're selling extremely expensive products that are generally speaking
over $1000 or at least over a couple hundred. Or in cases where you're doing
massive volume. You have millions of mother's looking on Google for the best
baby diapers. And in this case, this person has just hundreds of links to
Amazon on her site with all of the best baby stuff. Look Amazon link, Amazon link.
We have Walmart affiliate link, okay? So, this person who's using a combination of
Amazon and Walmart affiliate links. So you have crazy volume or you're doing
selling stuff with crazy prices. Those are the cases where it works. Hope this
