How to Make Money from Amazon
How to Make Money from Amazon is not as difficult as you might think, provided you have three things, 
- The right knowledge
- The right tools.
- The right approach
Otherwise it will be a very difficult, time consuming, if not an overwhelming task, competing with thousands of people, with the same dreams and aspirations.
Amazon
You have probably heard stories about how some people have created 6 or 7 figure incomes just from promoting Amazon products. So of course many people want to know how to make money on Amazon.
In 2015, Amazon surpassed Walmart as the most valuable retailer in the United States by market capitalization and is the fourth most valuable public company in the world, the largest Internet company by revenue and the eighth largest employer in the United States.
Selling Physical Products
If you want to promote physical products but you don’t want to carry stock and worry about delivery, you can use Amazon as your supplier, order processor, and product fulfilment company.
They actually do this very well, it’s called Amazon FBA (Fulfilment by Amazon) and thousands of people use them for exactly that.
Fulfilment By Amazon is a service introduced in 2015 that provides fulfilment for small, light items and even offers free standard shipping for items offered on the site by third-party sellers.
If you like the idea of dealing with physical products, it’s an ideal affiliate business model because you, don’t have to stock or ship products. And it works, as a recent study found that over 44% of respondents searching for products actually trust and buy from Amazon.com.
1. The Right Knowledge
If you’re looking to launch your own business by selling physical products on Amazon then this video below is a complete video guide on ‘How to sell on Amazon’
You can skip the video if you are already selling on Amazon but just know that many people use the Amazon affiliate program because…
It Works
And it can work for you too. Because once you join Amazon’s affiliate program you only have to promote the products on your website and if your visitor uses your link to make the purchase through Amazon you get a commission on the sale.
Joining an Amazon Affiliate program is pretty straight forward if you haven’t already done so, you can find out by going here: https://affiliate-program.amazon.com
The Problem
However, due to the millions of products available on Amazon available for you to promote, the problem is;
“How do you work out which is the right product to sell?
Several years ago, selling on Amazon was a hit and miss affair. Sellers would have to learn what products to sell by using trial and error, they would list a product, see if it sold, if not, they would move to another, and this process wasted a lot of time. Obviously, that’s not the way to find good products to sell and the strategy is not really ideal.
Research
Everyone knows product research is the most difficult part of any e-commerce business, it’s not unusual for online business people to spend over 80% of their time researching products. But that’s a slow and time-consuming process – Until Now!
2. The Right Tools
Fortunately, there is some software that can assist you with all that. The software is called Jungle Scout and it will help you make informed, educated decisions about what to promote, based on actual sales data and let’s you view all the data for any Amazon listings in a matter of minutes.
With the click of a mouse, you can see any product’s
- estimated monthly sales volume,
- its Best Seller Rank,
- its Sales Revenue
And much more that’s critical in identifying profitable opportunities for every Amazon product you may wish to consider promoting.
This saves you an incredible amount of time so that you can focus on ordering products and managing sales, instead of spending your time on product research.
This software gives you a more profitable way to make money from Amazon and allows you to promote with confidence, without the need for any more guess work.

One More Thing
Now almost anyone can start an e-commerce store, that could be run by one person in the comfort of their home. Especially if you know how to source products correctly (and now you do, with Jungle Scout), and you don’t have to pay for inventory until a sale is made.
Best of all e-commerce retail websites can be built on the most popular content management platform available, which is WordPress.
The only problem is that it takes specialized knowledge to be able to build this type of platform and to get your online shop set up.

3. The Right Approach
Next, you need be smart about how to attract readers to your site, because it’s not about building a site and putting up pictures of Amazon products to sell. That’s what everyone is doing and “Why should they buy from you?
If you want to sell something you need be smart and attract readers to your site.
A great why to do this, is rather than trying to directly sell products. Is to write a review about a product. Essentially this involves having content that is engaging for visitors and outlines the benefits of the product in ways that shows your reader how the product will m
ake their lives easier or provides the solution to a problem they may have.
Then they have a compelling reason to want to use your links to the products you are promoting.
Writing Compelling Content
Writing powerful copy is an art, a skill, that can make the difference between success and failure in almost any business. I have a valuable eBook “Copywriting Strategies Explained“ which you can get from the link below.
Inside I show you how to prepare copy that will engage your reader and hold their attention and I’ll be revealing all of my copywriting strategies, so that you can reap the benefits of this priceless skill, using that hard earned knowledge to generate increased sales of your products and/or services.

Marketing Videos
Studies have shown that video sites can convert as high as 30% and what makes that phenomenal is that standard text websites typically convert visitors at only 2 – 3%.
Here are some surprising statistics;
- 70% of marketers report that video converts better than any other medium
- The brain processes visual data 600,000 times faster than text.
- 92% of mobile video viewers share video with others
YES, Video marketing is incredibly powerful.
So how would you like to get even more traffic, more leads, and more sales by using video to promote your Amazon products?
Usually creating video is a time consuming and technically challenging activity.

Is that true that so many people are earning 10k+ from Amazon? I know that amazon is one of the most popular and reputable seller but I must say that their comission rates are pretty low. Folks must have some big traffic coming to their site to be able to earn from amazon…
Hello, Daniel. I don’t know how much people are earning each month from Amazon . However I do know that some are killing it with Amazon. I have highlighted the ways in which to greatly increase your income via Amazon using the tools I have recommended. Of course you still need to implement these tools and take the required action. But it’s highly probably that you could then make $10 K plus with amazon. Thanks for your comments and enjoy the PDF version of my book that is on its way to you. 🙂
Hi Peter,
Your article came very timely for me as I have just started promoting Amazon products on my site using the FBA method.
I was particularly interested in the Jungle Scout software you point us to.
I will go and look at that right now.
Three things I will be working on after reading with you:
1) Traffic generation
2) Conversions
3) Videos
Thank you for all the help you gave in the article
Great job

Wow you have definitely given me some great tools to help me in my Amazon affiliate website.
Jungle Scout sounds awesome but I am really keen to try out video intelligence.
I am absolutely hopeless on the making videos front and this sounds like it could take all my worries away.
I know video converts but didn’t really know how to do one properly.
Hello, Karen. You are welcome and yes, these tools will very extremely helpful. Pleased you have enjoyed my post. Watch out for the book that is coming your way. 🙂
This is a very informative post. Many people have made a lot of money promoting products on Amazon. Since Amazon is so huge, you definitely have to do your research and narrow down niche and promote products within that niche.
Having a niche will narrow down tremendously the amount of products you have to sift through in order to know what to promote. This is a very useful article.

I am aware of affiliate models but you provided a lot of in site such as the jungle software to really hone in and maximize the business.

Hello, Lo. Thanks for your comments and your feedback. Yes, I agree theory is one thing and application is another. Enjoy the eBook that is coming your way. 🙂
Hello Peter. This is a very useful article. After tried, tested and found on Amazon I can see that it takes a lot of time testing and experience and also a lot of will to have the desire to be able to succeed an Amazon or any online selling. You obviously need to do a lot of research to find the right products to sell and when you think you have done enough you need to do more research. So finding this article was a great treasure and I have learned a lot and will definitely carry out your suggestions.

I totally agree with you! Amazon is one of the best places where people can earn money online. I am personally an Amazon affiliate and I can say that it is one of the best affiliate programs out there. It have so many earnings potential but affiliate program is definitely the best…
Hello, Daniel. Amazon certainly is a great platform and its well known and provides a great service. Anyone joining and promoting Amazon products already has a winning brand name on their side. Thanks for your comments. 🙂
Peter, I am a fairly new affiliate marketer, and I must say I appreciate your very informative article about Amazon. My site has become somewhat polished now, and I am linked to the Amazon platform, there I have found a higher rating level, and certainly a stronger commission package. Your post has definitely broadened my horizon and outlook within the Amazon platform, as well as helped me integrate my better business practices. I will be following your articles for my growth within this industry, sincerely, Jack

Thanks for a really useful post on making money on amazon. I am actually an affiliate of amazon, but have failed to make hardly any money at all.
I think I am so busy doing research for my content, I don’t seem to have the time to increase my traffic and to be honest, I’m not sure how to do it! I will need to bookmark your article so I can look at it thoroughly and at my leisure. I also have a problem dealing with amazon other than the UK. If I did manage to sell in the US or Canada for instance, I can only have any monies due paid by gift tokens which would be useless to me here in Britain.
I am concerned about appearing to be an advertising site rather than a site to help others, which is my main objective. It is difficult to get the right balance but I would settle for just the site affiliations paying for the site bills. How many adverts do you think is a good number without giving the wrong impression?
My niche is health based and although I write articles on other health subjects, I do only advertise my niche products, perhaps I should diversify. Great article, thanks for your efforts.
Hello, Ches. There is no simple answer to your questions. Yes, quality content is important and no you do not want to be a site just advertising Amazon products because there are millions of people already doing that. What’s important is the you build a following and how to do that is provide content that is interesting and compelling and give the reader the sense that you are an expert on your topic. Then they will come back to you for more advice and information. Once you have enough people ‘following you’ then you will get a few of them clicking on your links to if they feel the product will provide a solution for a problem they may have.
Another idea is to create a product review site where you actually review the product(s) you are wanting to promote, so that the reader can understand what it is they are buying or your answer some question about the product they are most likely wanting to know.
Thanks again for your comments and I trust you will enjoy the eBook that is coming your way. 🙂
I loved the information on how to generate wealth through amazon. I’m actually selling products on amazon currently so your page really helped me get a better in depth understanding of the process and I loved the video as well. After reading your page and watching the video I really feel confident about selling products on Amazon.
Hello, Jason. Pleased you found the post informative and useful. Thanks for your comments and I hope you enjoy the eBook that is coming your way. 🙂
Peter, I enjoyed reading your post. I have been accepted by Amazon but I have not yet make a sale it could be caused from Internet challenges that have crept in, however, I heard it before, that video in content writing is of Paramount importance. Now that you have made it plain in this post with video demonstration I will definitely take action. Are you saying that Jungle Scott is the software that will give the information on the products to promote on Amazon? Thank you. Dorcas me
Hello, DorcasW. Thanks for your comments. Yes, Jungle Scout will help you identify top selling products making it easier to promote winners. Jungle scout is a powerful tool and you will absolutely love once you start using it. Enjoy the eBook that is coming your way. 🙂
you can certainly make a substantial income being affiliated to Amazon and i have seen the results of other people doing rather well. I am an affiliate with them but as yet not made any sales yet. Being accepted by them is another problem as they have a strict criteria to follow.As you have pointed out in your article that once you are in , the next battle is creating the right content and reviews to get customers to buy, that goes for any affiliate programme really, it is up to the individual to put the effort in.
Hello, Andrew. Yes, that is all true and my article puts out the right tools to implement to help with that process of building an online income with Amazon. Thanks for your comments. 🙂
Hi Peter
Thank you for the detailed and well-described guide on how to make money on Amazon. I know there are many courses, books and software out there to help with this but as always – a lot of stuff available out there will give you small to no benefit at all. it seems to me you are promoting legit tools so I will have a closer look at your products to study this deeper. As in order to succeed, all of the three things you mention are of extreme importance.
Hello, Arta. Thanks for you comments. Yes, I too think these products I mention are important if you want to get the edge in this highly competitive market and have most of the hard work done for you. I hope you also enjoy the eBook that is coming your way. 🙂
I’ve bookmarked the Videlligence website. It seems very promising. How does it work; does it simply grab headers for main points and use regular text as the body? I’m very intrigued. Please get back with me; I will be checking this page periodically awaiting your response! Thanks so much for writing this article!
Hello, Kenneth. Yes, that’s right it quickly grabs the required text and creates a powerpoint type slide show as a video of the product highlighting the features. There is a sample and an example on the sales page that you can view prior to purchase so you understand exactly ho it works. Feel free to check it out. Thanks for your comments. 🙂
Wow, Peter. I learned so much from this post! As I was reading, I was wondering, “how much is this all going to set me back?”, and then you provided the answer. $170 to get into selling products from the largest store in the world! No rent, no product inventory, no order fulfillment…did I get that all right? I am going to bookmark this site and visit often. I think there is a lot you can teach me.
Hello, Annie. Thanks for your comments. It’s only $170 if you pick up all of my recommendations. You might do it for much less, but you will have more work to do. So yes, investing $170 will get you on the fast track. Pleased you have enjoyed the article. Watch you inbox for the eBook that is coming your way for leaving a comment. 🙂
I just went through the entire content of this web page and learned further about making money with Amazon, though I have been preparing to figure things out about Amazon associate central already. Obviously, there’s nothing more to learn about amazon affiliate program other than what I have just learnt here.
I didn’t know joining and making money with Amazon is as simple as this. I initially thought there used to be technicalities in joining Amazon. Kudos to you for uncovering those tips!
Hello, Pioneer80. Pleased you have enjoyed my post and happy you found it to be informative. Thanks for your comments. 🙂
Good site! I’m still new to affiliate marketing, so I’m always looking to expand my knowledge. Your “how to build a list” and “20 steps guide” seems worth a shot. I think I’ll give it a try. One of the most difficult things is gaining traffic. I think this could help.
Thanks!
-Jason
Hello, Jason. Thanks for your comments. And you are right getting traffic can be difficult. Hence the reason for putting this course together. I’m sure you will learn a lot from it. Enjoy the eBook that is coming your way 🙂
