@Staci A Yeah as I mentioned you get about 4% to start. It’s definitely worth using it to pick up a few extra bucks.

@Jenna Good luck let me know if you need any additional help.

Great Comments

@Trish: I’m sorry that you didn’t get credit! You are correct about when someone clicks and they buy something else you get the commission. Someone bought $100 worth of stuff from me, but none of the products I had had listed!

@Cat: It could be a good monetization tool to add

@Jen: You don’t need to push the product down their throat lol, but you can mention it or simply just put a text link to the amazon page. “Here is my review of the super cool coffee mug. You can get your own at Amazon for $$. Its the best price I’ve found.” Theres loads of tools and widgets you can also include.

I find it kind of nice that my reviews and blog posts lead people to buy the products and books that I also enjoy. Someone purchased some Antwone Fisher books that I had mentioned on Words of a Poet. I only got abou 50 cents commission, but it was kind of nice that they read my blog and wanted to buy them. I know I enjoyed it so I hope they do as well.

The nice thing about them is if someone clicks on a link from you site, and then does some browsing and buys other things that weren’t on your site, you get credit for that too!

I know of a few people who use Amazon. I always worry about coming off like a pushy salesperson, though, so I haven’t really entertained the idea. I don’t know how offensive my readers would find it. But I can’t live with my in-laws forever! Lol.

I use amazon for one of my websites, but never thought to use it on my blog.

I just signed up a few days ago with them. I had a friend buy some stuff from my site, but then he shipped it to me, so I didn’t get credit for the sale. You can also earn money by referring people to sign up for a free trial of Amazon Prime.
