UPDATE: It's a shame that Amazon lowered their commission rates on 4/14/2020 but it's not altering any of my strategies. Many TH-camr's are catching the trend by making videos about it saying things that encourage sharing (making the video go viral). I personally don't think it's a big deal for a few reasons, mainly because Amazon conversions are so high, and it's easy to swap out links to different affiliate programs win a few clicks. I hope that helps shed some rational advice on it from someone heavily involved :)
Hi Greg! I just recently made a TH-cam channel and just signed up for the Amazon affiliate program. For the “10 pieces of content on your website” do you have to make your own website (like using Wix like you suggested) or can your “TH-cam channel” be your website and you make 10 separate videos including affiliate links in your description box? Hope my question makes sense! Thank you!!!
ah bummer I was just wondering it was bad from hearing that a while ago but to hear they've done it again doesn't sound enough from the previous breakdowns I heard (it was a hearing in congress not a yt vid, where businesses that built on that system found they were in the hands of a semi monopoly)
hey guys. i joined amazon associates programme. just a quick question i have. Can i get people to amazon website using my amazon link and still get a commission or do i need to send them a specific product link?

I have no interest in becoming an Amazon affiliate, but I have to say that you are the absolute BEST educator and human for sharing your experience and knowledge on TH-cam. Thanks so much. I would say that I hope you'll make a lot of money, but I'm pretty sure you already do and will become wealthy because you are such a pro and a real go-getter.
I never miss your videos, because you always provide great information and value. I'm just about to sign up with Amazon affiliates, so the timing of this video is perfect. Thank you, Greg!
Perfect timing! Thanks for the comments, I always see your comments on every video and I really appreciate it Aldean.. Thank you! As always, let me know if you have any questions I can help with as you're going along!
Number 5 is indeed the best one. I have also thought about it. The fact that you can use the intelligence of the one of the biggest companies in the world in your advantage... WOW!!!
Amazon Associates just dropped it's affiliate commissions by up to 80% on April 21, right in the middle of the pandemic. Good timing Amazon, just when your loyal affiliates who have worked hard to send you traffic need you most.
Agreed... I dont think they made a good judgement call just now. Their stock is up roughly 8% when the entire market is down about 18%. They are excelling as a company right now and by making this cut, it will be increasing their bottom line even further. The good news is that a lot of people are not happy with this so I dont imagine they will stay low for very long.
Hi Greg, I wanted to thank you for your Amazon Affiliate videos. I made 7 qualified sales in less than a month. I will look into other programs to grow and evolve. Great work, please continue providing great info.
Hi Greg, am just wanna thank you so much for all these honest advices. Really you deserve to be on top of TH-cam channels that make meaningful and neat content. SUPER LIKE BRO 👍 and Thank You again 💕
I launched my first AF site. It is a nice looking site but hasn't been indexed yet. It was a learning experience. Now I am launching five more. I watch your videos for T shirt stuff. I came up with 6 designs so far. They are being made as we speak. I need six more.
That reminded me. Thanks Awesome movies So Greg, about RB, how many designs they need to promote my design? I did not just t shirts, i also did cellphone covers and pillowcases exclusively. Kindly Help.
Super helpful Greg! Thank you! When you say, "10 pieces of content for 180 days": 1- Does that include TH-cam videos or does it have to be a blog post/self-hosted website? Can it also include Facebook or Instagram posts? 2- Does it have to be 10 pieces of NEW content every 180 days?
Hey Greg I saw a video about this earning from amazon but I was not sure if I should go ahead and do it but you made it easy for me now I am going to create an account and hopefully start earning soon thanks for the video buddy
Amazon Affiliate Marketing is great, and with some strategies, this can be an opportunity to create a full business for you... Using TH-cam and a Website, using SEO, or selling indirectly after building and AUDIENCE, you can make easily 10k per month...the great power of this affiliate program is that you don't earn commission only for the product that you reffer, but also for every product purchased in the next 24 hr throug your affiliate link...any other affiliate program do that.
Thanks for the useful information! We were wondering what happens after the 180 days if we don't make enough sales. Good to know that we can just reapply and update our links.
Thanks for the comment, and glad this video cleared that part up. If you guys run pinto any questions as you're going along just let me know, I'm here in the comments everyday. Thanks again!
For who don't know, you don't need a website to have an Amazon affiliate account.. You can advertise on any social media platform.. You just need to add all the pages and groups that you post on so that you will get the comission and u shouldn't just share the links any where as this might cause your account closure eventually! You can add the pages and group links through the website box, insted of the website link, when you are creating your amazon affiliate account.. I tried this my self and got the sales comission the next day! Just don't give bc it's a really waste if u did.. Hope this helps 😊
Hello Greg, I started affiliate marketing and online entrepreneurship two years back. But it didn't workout as expected. It's getting difficult to build something for my own, when each one around me is job minded person, including family members. I did traditional IT job before , but left it. Huge pressure comes in reality when you stay around job minded people who just think doing job is the establishment. But they never think or bother about creating their own source of income. All relatives do job and are so called established in society's eyes, except me who is still struggling to set up own business. How to handle the pressure ?
Thank you for sharing and for asking such a great question! I know this feeling and have seen it in others close to me as well. My best recommendation is to work really hard and wait until your results speak for themselves. I've seen a pattern of people being negative towards online business until you start making more than they do at their job (then all of a sudden the dynamic changes to them wanting to know what you are doing because they feel they are missing out). I hope that helps and keeps you encouraged!
Thanks for the elaboration. I can understand. Hope it all will become well. In present time, best way to make money online is to guide other people on how to make money online.
I am with you K C, Just do not listen to anyone till you get the success, I set a target till I start earning 3000$ per month and i will not listen to anyone. But we need to listen to our mentor like Greg what he suggests.
Thanks for sharing a great video this now pushes me to go back and start kicking again since mine have now reached to 90 days so gotta get some actions here before they will completely close my account.
Hey, Greg, thanks for the info. If you sign up for Amazon Associates using one website, when you create another website in another niche, can you use the same Amazon affiliate link? Or do you apply again for the separate site?
Great question! You can have multiple sites on the same Amazon account 👍 they can be separated by affiliate ID. I believe it's the profile button (or email) in the top right, then manage ID's then add ID.
Does Amazon reassess every 180 days or do they only look at your account the first 180 days to see how many sales you have? Great video btw! Thank you!
I don't know how effective Amazon Affiliate Program is, since more people start using VPN. More people conceal themselves from big IT companies like Google or Amazon so that these companies can't track what websites they visit. It makes sense if users buy something as soon as they click affiliate links. I don't know how 24 hr tracking system works.
lol I love this comment.. Thanks for the support and I agree but I think I know why: The videos I make are usually about something specific and educational (rather than entertaining). I think this means only those who need the information watch it (when they need it) rather than entertainment where every subscriber watches every video :) That's my theory at least! Anyways, I really appreciate your comment and it put huge smile on my face. As always, if there's anything you need, just let me know!
Here is my experience using the program with my TH-cam Channel. I applied for the program when I had about 150 subscribers, my channel videos consist of auto detailing product unboxing and reviews. I thought I followed all of the requirements. 90 days in, with 2 sales, they closed my account, saying the channel didn’t qualify and they provided a link to a page with many possible reasons why the account was closed. I could not figure out why it was closed after 90 days (instead of 180 days) I had to email Amazon 3 times asking for clarification, why my account was closed, before they said it was because my channel did not meet the 400 minimum followers. From Amazon, “It looks like the review team's main reason for rejection is the lack of subscribers on your TH-cam channel.” That requirement is somewhat buried and not listed with the main requirements. I guess it considers TH-cam as social media. I look forward to using the program, I just wish I had been allowed the full 180 days to meet the 3 required sales. I will reapply and swap out the many links when the requirements are met.
I made 17 sales in my first week with this program. Now if the commission was 30% to 50%. I would of made a killing. But its only 3% . But its a good starting point.
how would you compare Amazon with ClickBank? Would you say Amazon is a better, safer one? ClickBank has very high comissions but also bad reputation for bad quality...from what I hear. Which could damage your content reputation as well if it goes South ! I wanted to have your opinion since I am a newbe....
Now and then I follow your online you tube advice. I like all of your advice. My questions is do you have to create website for each of the product you are trying to promote? How does it work?
Hello Greag! I'd be very happy if you could share if we need to set up a company before starting selling on TeeSpring and other platforms. To my mind, I think we need that, can you talk a little bit about how the accountancy and what payment processor would be the best? Regarding the payment, I am thinking about Paypal Business, can you share more of your experience and your opinion regarding these subjects: company setting, accountancy, payments processor. I am not US based, but I think that won't be a problem. Thank you very much for your content and the help you provide!
Great question! Nope, you do not need to setup a company :) A standard PayPal account is all you need. This video will help :) th-cam.com/video/WQTYTdsxEk0/w-d-xo.html
Great question. The way I understand it is that we need 10 'new' pieces of content within the first 180 days. It doesn't specify what they are, so they can be short articles, or videos. I hope that helps clarify!

I signed up for Amazon Associates a month ago and made four sales. However, I feeling disappointed because I herd someone in the UK was denied from the program and he made sales and was accepted in the program. What tips do you have for a new Amazon Associate? I have a website, I just need to upload more blog content. I don't want to keep making links, get accepted.... then get denied because i maynot be making enough sales.
Hey Robin, thanks for asking! I dont currently offer it because I'm focusing my schedule on creating a ton of free resources that everyone can use (and doing another tranche of building my own business up). Maybe in the future? Anyways, thanks for asking and let me know if I can help with anything in the comments!
Greg Gottfried hey! Thanks for responding! I would love to start with some small entrepreneur things but am 16. Do you think i will have issues considering my age?
I think you're at a great age to be starting, you're giving yourself plenty of time to have businesses built by the time you need them. I dont think you'll have any issues regarding your age.
Greg Gottfried hi! Thanks for your response ! I will try my best at succeeding! Your video’s are super helpful. Please let me know when you decide to do private coaching, i would definitely be interested! Thanks, Robin!
Hi I have a question I am not sure if is very relevant but I started affiliate marketing with amazon . I had people use my link and purchase things which shows on my account but also it says that I have zero earnings ? I am not sure why? Anybody had this same problem? Thank you 🙏

Amazing Amazon video.
The thing is, after sometime if there is no result, people leave.
That reminded me.
Thanks Awesome movies
So Greg, about RB, how many designs they need to promote my design?
I did not just t shirts, i also did cellphone covers and pillowcases exclusively.
Kindly Help.
@@mihir5451 Great question! RB starts marketing right away :)
@@GregGottfried So if I am not getting sales then
My design is not good enough?
I did not get it. And I am missing somethig, like piece of Puzzle.
So what you are saying is if you only have a TH-cam channel, you can't open up an affiliate account with amazon and need to have a website?
Super helpful Greg! Thank you!
When you say, "10 pieces of content for 180 days":
1- Does that include TH-cam videos or does it have to be a blog post/self-hosted website? Can it also include Facebook or Instagram posts?
2- Does it have to be 10 pieces of NEW content every 180 days?

Thank you! I hope you've been doing well!
@@GregGottfried You're welcome.I hope you have been doing well, too.
Now and then I follow your online you tube advice. I like all of your advice. My questions is do you have to create website for each of the product you are trying to promote? How does it work?
Good stuff, thanks!
Thank you, I appreciate that! You're welcome!
Great advice thank you
Excellent as always! Thx!
Thanks Rick!
Hello Greag! I'd be very happy if you could share if we need to set up a company before starting selling on TeeSpring and other platforms. To my mind, I think we need that, can you talk a little bit about how the accountancy and what payment processor would be the best? Regarding the payment, I am thinking about Paypal Business, can you share more of your experience and your opinion regarding these subjects: company setting, accountancy, payments processor. I am not US based, but I think that won't be a problem. Thank you very much for your content and the help you provide!
Great question! Nope, you do not need to setup a company :) A standard PayPal account is all you need. This video will help :) th-cam.com/video/WQTYTdsxEk0/w-d-xo.html
@@GregGottfried Thank you very much for the answer! It was very useful. How about etsy?
Hi Greg, the 10 videos in 180 days, can you already have them or do they need to be uploaded within the 180 days? thank you
Great question. The way I understand it is that we need 10 'new' pieces of content within the first 180 days. It doesn't specify what they are, so they can be short articles, or videos. I hope that helps clarify!
CON #5 If people use the Honey extension Honey can hijack your cookie. So basically if the potential customer has it installed at all it will hijack your cookie. 🤕😪
True!!
Thanks for the video. Is there a difference between "associate" program and "affiliate" program?
Great question! No, they are the same thing. Not sure why they call it the associate program rather than the more common affiliate program.
The power of hashtags ...what does it do ?? how/what are the beat way around it ..??..ETC
Thanks for asking! They get you views from people who are not following you already. It's just for Instagram :)
What about for Pinterest does it really work?
Very nice video. Very informative
I signed up for Amazon Associates a month ago and made four sales. However, I feeling disappointed because I herd someone in the UK was denied from the program and he made sales and was accepted in the program. What tips do you have for a new Amazon Associate? I have a website, I just need to upload more blog content. I don't want to keep making links, get accepted.... then get denied because i maynot be making enough sales.
Happy Teacher's day Greg😇🌸🌼 I learnt a lot from you 🇮🇳 Thanks for sharing your knowledge 😇

Hey! Do you do private coaching? Love your vids, they are the best!
Hey Robin, thanks for asking! I dont currently offer it because I'm focusing my schedule on creating a ton of free resources that everyone can use (and doing another tranche of building my own business up). Maybe in the future? Anyways, thanks for asking and let me know if I can help with anything in the comments!
Greg Gottfried hey! Thanks for responding! I would love to start with some small entrepreneur things but am 16. Do you think i will have issues considering my age?
I think you're at a great age to be starting, you're giving yourself plenty of time to have businesses built by the time you need them. I dont think you'll have any issues regarding your age.
Greg Gottfried hi! Thanks for your response ! I will try my best at succeeding! Your video’s are super helpful. Please let me know when you decide to do private coaching, i would definitely be interested! Thanks, Robin!
Great video bro!
Great video !
Can you receive earning from Amazon Affiliate program if you live in California? I can’t seem to find any clear answer on this. Thanks!
Great video thank you
Another great video man, thanks. I have a website but the content and affiliates links would be through TH-cam, does that count?
Hi I have a question I am not sure if is very relevant but I started affiliate marketing with amazon . I had people use my link and purchase things which shows on my account but also it says that I have zero earnings ? I am not sure why? Anybody had this same problem? Thank you 🙏
Excellent video 👍
Thank you!!
