Learn How To Make Money Selling Stuff From Amazon

Amazon is the biggest online retailer today and I can say that I have actually bought A LOT of stuff from them, especially when I was deployed. Today I am going to show you how to make money selling stuff from Amazon, that you don’t even own.

Honestly, I have never sold anything that I actually own on Amazon.com. I have always made money selling other people’s products, through a wonderful program called affiliate marketing.

How Does it Work?

---

First you are going to need your own website (Don’t let that scare you), so you can promote products from Amazon. Creating a website is a lot easier than you think. Once you have your website and you know what your niche is, then you can start promoting products from Amazon.

You will need to setup an Amazon Associates account, which is completely free and is actually easier than setting up a Facebook account. Once you setup your account with the program, you will be able to sell anything on the Amazon site and I mean anything.

For every sale that you make, Amazon will pay you a commission, which runs between 4-10% but really depends on the product. I know this doesn’t sound like much, but it does add up my friend.

Making Money Through ANY Sale

---

The best part about this whole program, is that you can make money if the person buys something on the site, even if it has nothing to do with the products you are promoting.

Not only is it very easy to get started, but it is also a great way to make a lot of money. It’s actually pretty funny, because some of the sales I make are like female products and I really had no intention of selling them.

In the end, I don’t care what I sell as long as I am getting paid. There are millions of products on the Amazon site that you can promote, so don’t think there is nothing on there that won’t catch your attention.

Getting Paid – The Fun Part

---

This is always the best part about online marketing or any type of business for that matter. When you make a sale, everything will get saved on your Amazon Associates account. Payday is on the 1st of every month and will be paid out in 3 different ways.

1. Check ($100 minimum)
2. Direct deposit ($10 minimum)
3. Amazon gift card ($10 minimum)

Don’t worry, they WILL pay you and you will get paid on time. It’s a win/win situation for them, so they have no problem paying you whatever money that is owed to you.

Other programs

---

With Amazon being a great place to make money online, there are also other programs that offer higher commissions (these are always good). Personally, I use different ones, just to maximize my online earnings.

There are programs that offer as much as 75%, but those products are also a lot harder to sell. You can become an affiliate with these companies as well, and they offer the best commissions in the business.

• Clickbank
• Commission Junction
• Share-a-sale

These are just a few of the companies that you can become an affiliate with, and within these companies are thousands of products to promote, from different stores like, Zappos.com and Pacsun to name a few.

Imagine getting paid to sell the same products that you purchase online, this can really add up and yes, this is the same exact way that online millionaires are made.

Why Affiliate Marketing?

---

There are many reasons as to why I recommend people take on something like affiliate marketing and just one of these is more than enough to push me to give it a try.

1. You don’t own the product
2. No shipping done by you
3. No dealing with returns or refunds
4. You have the whole online world to sell to

I don’t know if this is enough to make you want to do business online, but this are the same exact reasons why I do it. Oh and the main reason being I wanted more time with my family and I wanted to be my own boss.

I am now a full-time online marketer and I am one of those stay-at-home dads. Sounds pretty “girly”, but I am still the bread winner in this household and no I am not a geek either.

Not So Fast!

---

All this may sound so easy and you probably have dollar signs in your eyes right now, but there is a lot more to it than just selling and making money.

This is not some kind of “hey do you wanna buy this, ok cool” type of situations and you are going to need to understand exactly what it is that you’re doing. There is more to this opportunity and without knowing these things, you are not going to make it online. So what do you need?

1. Training – First you’re going to need to know what the hell you’re doing. If you don’t get trained, you will get lost and you will quit faster than you joined.
2. Support – You will need to have someone right there, to answer any questions you may have along the way. Without this, things can start to get a little frustrating.
3. Community – I never knew how powerful this would be until I had the help from a bunch of people who knew exactly what to do and had “their way” of making the most money.
4. Tools – You are not going to make this happen without your own website and hosting. Along with this, you need to have to understand the competition with a good keyword tool.

Once you get a clear understanding about all of this, that is when you will start to see the money roll in. I recommend the Wealthy Affiliate, which has the complete package as well as access to the owners of the company. How cool is that?

So What Now?

---

Now that you know a little about what the online world has to offer and how people are making money with Amazon.com, it is your turn to cash in on this amazing opportunity.

If you want to learn more about online marketing and how I got started online, take a look at my review of Wealthy Affiliate and you will see why there are so many people learning and earning with this program.

I hope you learned how to make money selling stuff on Amazon and hopefully you too can create a successful business online. To whatever it is that you decide to do in life, cheers!
