    once they ship the orders you will also see earnings cause you only get money when they get money

    Great, what i noticed on clicking "full report" is many people also bought other items ( which are not on my site), do i get paid for those?

    As you an see "Referral Rate (Increase this to 6.00% by referring 7 more items), so in total we need to make 38 + 7 sales to increase our commission to 6%?

    you will need to get your shipped items to that number to get to the next commission level
    and you get refferal fees for everything in your orders list including the things you don't promote

    Your referral fees increases as the number of item bought increases. Meaning the more items your visitors buy, the more your earning. So, refer more buyers to increase your payment percentage.

    Good luck

    You'll get paid when those items get shipped. Note that some items might be pre-orders. For example, if someone pre-ordered the video game Call of Duty: Black Ops releasing on 9th November. You'll get paid only when that item is released and shipped.

    You'll also get paid on Digital Downloads like MP3 songs and Kindle ebooks. These payments are instant, as there's no shipping required.

    Here's the referral rate chart. The more products shipped/downloaded, the more commission you get!

    Most products get shipped the next day.

    If you're in India, check your reports around 5:30pm to see your earnings.

    Hi Getjimmy, one of the coolest things by being an amazon affiliate is, that you get paid for products . that you dont even promoted.

    Some surfers, go through your affiliate link for maybe a halloween custome, and then - end up buying christmas toys.

    This has happened to me several times, most often I sell books - and I have never promoted a book.

    regards, LASSE

    Yea, getting paid for every purchase is really a cool feature. I noticed that there are sales coming from products which is not related to the products on my site. Commission is also increased.
