More Ways to Increase Your Amazon Affiliate Earnings

As I said in my last post I would give you some more tips on how to increase your Amazon Affiliate earnings. I have still been doing some research on it because I want to learn how just as much as you do. It has been a good learning experience and I feel I am ready to spread the knowledge of what I have learned. I hope These will help you earn more with Amazon Associates as it will with me. I must preface this by saying that you still have to work smart if you want to achieve your goals of making money online with any tactic. Here is what I have learned.

Promote discounts, sales realted to your content
Look into promoting discounts and special sales when working with Amazon associates. If you are just writing articles on a site like Xomba or Bukisa it is even better because you can post about any product that is on sale. You could write a review or make a simple Xomblurb and post your affiliate link. If you have a blog it might be a bit more difficult but if you keep your eyes open for site related sales definitely post them on your website. Sometimes, during holiday season (pre- and post-) you will see sale on several products. One of those products could be related to the content on your page.

Keep writing and posting affiliate links
An important thing to keep in mind with Amazon's Affiliate program (and with all aspects of making money online) is to always stay consistent. Keep posting your affiliate links and writing related topics to them. Just because there isn't a lot of money coming in yet doesn't mean it will stay that way. The key is you have to stay consistent. Maybe you could tell yourself you will want to make 1 new Amazon Affiliate link a day. Soon you will start to see clicks on your links, those clicks will convert into sales, you'll start earning a consistent amount of money and your earnings will continue to increase. Amazon is a very trustworthy site where millions of customers buy many products from. Trust me, if you make the links and get enough traffic to earn clicks Amazon will do all the work for you.

Use Widgets and Contextual ads
There are some bloggers, website owners and article writers who jsut believe in Widgets while others just use contextual ads. Some believe that because the Widgets have actual pictures of the Amazon logo people will be more trustworthy of the link. Those same people also say that contextual ads lack the beauty needed to attract readers and lose the clicks that could potentially turn over to a sail. The other half believe that contextual ads are better because they are more personal and can be placed almost anywhere on the Internet. Those folks believe that the huge Amazon Widget can be easily ignored because it looks like just another ad. Honestly, it will not hurt your site or articles if you give them both a try. Use certain ads where they will recieve the best click relevancy to earn you money.

Be Bold with your ads
If you want to make money online you will have to be bold with where you place any kind of ad. You can't expect to make a dime if all your ads are hiding in a corner of your website. Really put that widget or that contextual ad in a place where readers can have easy access to them. This will tremendously increase your Amazon Associates click rate so you can start earning money online.

Time
It's cliche because it is true, "all good things come to those who wait.'' So even when you have those days when you check your Amazon Associates account and see no sales just keep working on it. Think of it as a snowball coming down a hill; it starts as a little speck and soon it will get larger and move faster. That is how it is with almost any site in the residual income field. So keep working smart and 'stay consistent' with it.

Make sure the products you promote are good quality ones
Now just because you are promoting your heart out on the Internet does not mean it is always a good thing. This can happen more with a lot of people who are just writing short articles or bookmarks and place there affiliate link on it. The product may have only got 2 stars, 4 bad reviews and all the sellers could be bad too. That reader that clicked on your link is probably getting ready to walk out that digital door. SO make sure the products you are making affiliate links for have a good amount of positive feedback.

I hope these tips helped you figure out some ways to increase your Amazon Affiliate earnings. I may come back to this subject in a few weeks and show you how I am doing. Thanks for reading
