All you need to do is to grow your traffic<\/a> and make sure that your website visitors convert to paying users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In return, you can make tens of thousands of dollars per month … and eventually sell your website, making enough to buy a yacht and spend the rest of your life cruising the Caribbean. Though, this is the absolute perfect scenario, as you can probably tell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (For inspiration, you can read about this Amazon affiliate store called “The Wirecutter”, which was acquired by the New York Times for about $30 million dollars [1]<\/sup>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ok, we’re not actually promising you that you’ll be a millionaire right away. But Amazon affiliate stores are definitely a viable way to make money on the Internet<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ready to learn \ud83d\udc68\u200d\ud83c\udf93 how to build your first ever Amazon affiliate store on WordPress? Let’s get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udcda Table of contents<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The beauty of Amazon affiliate stores on WordPress is that they allow you to get started with ecommerce, without quite committing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With traditional ecommerce stores, you need to go all in. This means sourcing your products, importing them, packaging them, and then shipping them out when you’ve received an order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udc49 With Amazon affiliate stores, all you do is publish content which will drive sales on Amazon’s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here’s a demo of an Amazon link that achieves that:<\/p>\n\n\n Your visitor browses through your site, and when they see something they like, they can click on your affiliate link and be redirected to Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n Because your visitor is now browsing Amazon through your affiliate link, Amazon can track their purchases and attribute them to you<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your visitor makes a purchase on Amazon within 24 hours<\/a>, you’ll get a commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sounds easy enough, right?<\/p>\n\n\n The first step to creating your own Amazon affiliate store on WordPress is to sign up for Amazon’s affiliate program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can do that by clicking on this link<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n Once you’ve submitted your application, you’ll need to wait for Amazon to approve your profile. In the meantime, you can get started on selecting the products to feature in your store!<\/p>\n\n\n Here are a few things to keep in mind when deciding what items you’d like to promote on your Amazon affiliate store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First, you shouldn’t be promoting anything that’s too cheap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There’s no hard and fast rule, but I like to stick with items which are $50 and above<\/strong>. This gives you a way better margin than if you were to promote, say, a pair of socks which costs $5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Secondly, try and go with products which are high in demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are several ways you can gauge demand…<\/p>\n\n\n\n Firstly, there are tools (such as JungleScout<\/a>!) which enable you to filter products on Amazon according to demand, estimated sales, seasonality, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
