How to Make Money from your Blog via Amazon Associates?

Amazon Associates is one of the oldest affiliate sales programs on the Internet. When one signs up to become an Amazon Associate, they get a chance to advertise the products sold on Amazon on their site or blog. Though Amazon is an affiliate program, it is not listed with others like Google Connect Commerce and others because it is a primarily an online shopping website.  Here are three important ways in which you can make money via your blog with Amazon Associates:
Category Banners:
Amazon has products under various categories like computers, home care, personal care, accessories, etc.  You can use the banners available that inform the viewers about the categories.  The banners are available in all the common dimensions, like 300 x 250, 125 x 125, 468 x 90, etc.
To choose the right kind of banners, you should first look at the niche that your website is related to. If your site is related to Hollywood and International movies, you can add the banners of the DVD section, or the movies section, or even the movie memorabilia section onto your website.
Product Banners:
Just like category banners, Amazon.com offers banners and text links to specific products. This is a very good way to monetize your blog if you have a targeted niche or audience. You could also use the text links to implement in your articles on the blog.
While choosing the product banner, it would be a good idea to read the reviews of the product that Amazon provides. Though they might not be completely relevant, you can go through them to find out the customer vibe for the particular product.
Buy Now Button:
This might be the most used type of media to use Amazon Associates for blog monetization. If a particular product is available on Amazon, and if you have written an article about the product, you can add a ‘Buy Now’ button that would direct the user to the Amazon product page for the particular product.
Site Stripe:
Another way, but more debatable one is the site stripe. The site stripe allows you to add a ‘add from site’ stripe to a particular product description page.
These are the most important ways in which you can make money via the Amazon Associate program. You can sign up for the Amazon Associate program by clicking on the icon at the right side on the Amazon.com homepage.
