    You passed the period of discovery, now start to do first things to make money with Amazon Affiliate. You have to choose a product or a product line to promote and attract consumers. Here are some experiences when choosing product:


    There are three main product categories; I classify the price of the product. The first is the low price product, but higher rates. I have an example as follows, with a book cost $15, you can easily sell it, buyers do not weigh much, but you only get a commission of $15 * 7%, about $ 1.05. With the average product price, about $200 – $300, you can sell it more difficult, but every product can bring you significant commissions. $300 * 7%, about $21. It would be great. With the higher-priced product line: Over $ 2,000 or more is more difficult to sell because buyers need to consider very carefully before strong hand shopping. You should be directed to wealthy clients. It would be great if you sell a watch brand Rolex $ 13,000. Your Earning will be $ 13,000 * 7%, about $ 910. However, if you just joined Amazon affiliate, you can select the types of products 1 and 2. It would be easier for you. In addition to the rates of different levels, you will see substantial income. Lowest commission you can get is 4% and the highest was 8.5%. (See Part 2: How to calculate commission).


    Choosing product to make money with Amazon affiliate is the most important issue which affects directly your income. In the previous section, I presented main products, the pros and cons of them. Now I will show you how to choose a specific target.

    Notes: Products which are chosen must be products are often purchased at Amazon. You should note, in addition to Amazon in the U.S. also has Ebay, Walmart, Best Buy and many other smaller retailers. Therefore should be directed to the items that Amazon mainstream. Those are products: includes books, DVDs, electronics, fitness equipment, Kindle, shoes, clothing, household tools. With books, Amazon is the leading bookstore, so buying the book at Amazon is widely used. You can choose to make money with Amazon books affiliate. I was earning good money from selling books at Amazon. You can see the photos below:

    Choose products Amazon affiliate

    The electronic items also sell well at Amazon, TVs, Laptops, Cell phones and Cameras. I have sold quite a lot of electronic products in Amazon as TV cameras. However, the commission for electronic goods always be 4%. Slightly lower a bit, but prices are high and easy to sell. Also you should consider accessories for iPhone, iPad. These are the products sell well at Amazon.

    Same for other groups such as computers and clothing. I continue to guide you to select a product. You should only choose a product to promote, if you do well it’s not your income is not low. After selecting a product group as I’ve mentioned, you must select the product as the following criteria to have a good product. First is a list of best selling products in each product group. Choose any department; you will see menu bestselling products.
    [​IMG]
    You must select the products with some more reviews; choose to see all the reviews, if any from 200 reviews or more and not less than 4 stars. There are several recent reviews (today, yesterday or a few days ago); it is often to buy more products. In addition to reviews, selecting child folder will help you have more products to choose and test before starting. Use Google Adword tools to find other keywords which relate to your product (or use Semrush.com). You may generate words which you think it relate to your products yourself. After choosing keywords which are positive or easy to be on the top of Google Search’s list keywords, be ready to create your own blog.

    Electronics are usually #1 for both selling and buying.

    That's correct electronics items get 4% commission though they're very fast selling but with more competition.

    I started with sites that sold products that I regularly bought and used and have had decent success with those sites because I was able to write in-depth content on a more frequent basis. I've also found cheap consumable products to be great for boosting your commission rates higher so you can earn more with your more expensive products. Another thing to consider is promoting some cheap products as accessories to the more expensive items on your site.

    Nice conclusion, thanks. Besides it is really important to look at new types of products (besteller->best product of the week). There you don't have such a high competition.

    Some people have had great success with promoting pre-order products also (that is, ones that aren't released yet like upcoming games and movies).
