The Amazon Associates Program is probably one of the most popular affiliate programs in the world, which is understandable since Amazon is the world’s largest online retailer.
Signing up to the Amazon affiliate program is quite easy. You just need to sign up with your Amazon account or create a new one. However, this doesn’t guarantee approval as an affiliate. You have 180 days to make your first three qualifying sales; otherwise, your account will be deactivated (but don’t worry, you can reapply).
You might think 180 days is a long time, and while some will get their sales within that time frame, if you are just starting, getting your first sales might not be an easy task, especially with Amazon’s strict rules within their Associates Program. It’s even more strict for affiliates who haven’t been approved yet, so getting approved as soon as possible is important.
And if you think a friend or family member will just buy from your Amazon affiliate links, you are mistaken. Amazon somehow just knows that you know that person!
So, if you want to become an Amazon affiliate and make your first three qualifying sales quickly, keep reading. You will find out how I was able to make my first three sales within two weeks—it could have been faster if I knew what I’m about to share with you.
But first things first, I will walk you through the steps to sign up as an Amazon Associate.
