Amazon Money Maker

In this training, I'm going to show you how to use the Amazon affiliate program to make money online. The training consists of three sections. In Section 1, I'll tell you how to find products and keywords. Section 2 will cover creating your affiliate site, and Section 3 will explain how to get traffic and conversions. Let's begin with Section 1.

Section 1 - Amazon Heat Seeker

Before you can start making money with Amazon, you have to find products to market. Amazon is a great place to conduct product research. You can go on the site to find out how much something costs, what it's rated and what type of reviews it has. If something has a good ranking, positive reviews and costs enough for you to make money off it, you know you have a good product. With that in mind, you need to find products that meet a certain set of standards.

Star Rating

Only choose products that have a three and a half star rating or above. That means it's a quality product so you'll get lots of conversions.

Reviews

Next, you only want to choose products that have at least ten reviews. All of those reviews need to be positive. People typically read the reviews before purchasing a product. If you market products with great reviews, there's a good chance people will buy them.

Cost

When you first start out with Amazon, you will make a 4% commission on sales. As you make sales, your commission amount will increase. However, in the beginning, you should market products that cost at least $250. That will guarantee you make at least $10 per sale.

Finding Products

Go to and click "Full Store Directory?"

A list of categories will come up. You can click on any of the categories. I'm going to select "Camera, Photo and Video." Then, I'm going to select "Points and Shoots." Now, I need to set my filters. Different filters are located on the left hand side of the page. First, I need to set price. I need to set the minimum price at $250 and click "Go." Then I need to select the star rating of three stars and up. Now, I can look through the products and see the rating and price. I can also see the number of reviews. Once I find a product I like, I need to click on it and open up a Word document. I need to put all the relevant information inside of the document, such as the name, link, price, rating and reviews. Take some time finding products you want to market. Then, you'll be ready to conduct your keyword research.

Keyword Research

You want to target buyer keywords. That means you want to find the keywords that people will search for when they're looking to buy your product. Let's say you're selling a digital camera. If you used the keyword "digital camera," you'd get all kinds of traffic, but it wouldn't be targeted. You would get some people who were ready to buy, while others would just be doing research. The key phrase "buy digital camera" would be better, since it would attract people who are actually ready to buy a camera. However, it's still not targeted enough. It would be even better to include the model number or name into the key phrase. Scroll down to "Product Details" on your Amazon page and copy the model number. Then, use the specific camera name as you keyword. You can include the word "buy" or just use the model name. Then, go to Google and put quotations around the keyword and conduct a search. That will tell you how many websites use that keyword. You want to find keywords that have 80,000 or less results. Next, you need to go to the Google Keyword Tool.

Once there, type the keyword into the tool. It should be the same phrase you just typed into Google. Click "Search." Then, go to the left hand side and select "Exact" under match type. Then, scroll down to your keyword and look at the number of search results. It needs to have at least 750 exact search volume matches. If your keyword doesn't have very many monthly search results, you'll need to find a better phrase. You can do that by going through the results provided by the AdWords keyword tool. If you find a keyword that you like, copy it and go back to Google. Search for that keywords to see how much competition it has. It's important to note that you might have to use keywords that are less specific than the brand and model number. For instance, if you have a Canon PowerShot, you might have to drop the model number and use "PowerShot" instead.

When you search Google for your keywords, scroll down to the bottom of the page and look at Google's recommend searches. Select a couple of those and put them into the AdWords keyword tool. These keywords are considered LSI. They don't need to have the same statistics as the other keywords, meaning they don't need to have 750 searches.

Once you find your keywords, you'll be ready to move on to Section 2.

Section 2 ? Create Your Amazon Affiliate Website

Now you're ready to create your website. You'll use this site to promote your products.

Setting Up Your Site

In order to set up a website, you are going to need a domain address and a hosting plan. Your domain name will be your URL. Your hosting plan will keep your website up and running.

Getting Your Domain

While there are lots of places that sell domains, I recommend using NameCheap. Once there, you'll see a search box. Type an idea for your domain into the search box. The idea should be related to your business. For example, if you're in the "weight loss" niche, you can search for ideas like "WeightLossSecrets."
