Amazon Affiliates Marketing for Beginners in 2022

 Assalam-o-Alaikum Dear

People have asked many question related to the previous video and I tried to answer and satisfy them all.

From those answers, I thought of why not discuss this all in a video.

The question was ‘people thanked me for saving them from a disaster else we were going to invest in Amazon PL (Private Label).

We didn’t know the things that you have told us.’

As we discussed in the last video, planning is necessary for Amazon especially when you are doing a Private Label

you have to calculate everything from inventory to the money in hand.

And this is not for just 1-2 months, we have to plan 6 months of inventory

and also discussed the complete bleeding process and what should be our budget.

People who are more realistic and live in real-world got benefit from that.

They knew that all the seminars and courses that are going around are just money-making tactics and they are not showing us the real face.

Then some dreamers complain that I have shattered their dreams as we were thinking of investing in Amazon to get rich overnight.

I said it won’t happen overnight.

Few got angry with me and didn’t believe me to which I said.

Few got angry with me and didn’t believe me to which I said. ‘OK. Go ahead after some time you will realize why I was saying it all.

Anyhow, let’s not discuss that. People said if PL is for the rich only, then what should the poor do?

There are not many rich people in Pakistan who can afford to invest $50,000 to start Amazon PL.

So, show us the opportunity on Amazon where we can start working without investment.

We have discussed this in our previous videos for the methods in which without investment you can earn money from Amazon.

We discussed Dropshipping of wholesale business number two we discussed was Kindle

means you can work without any investment by writing books.

So, let us tell you the 3rd method today from which you can earn money from Amazon without investment and it is completely legal.

We are going to name this topic ‘Amazon Affiliate Marketing’. It is also called the ‘Amazon Associate Program’.

As we have seen on Kindle that you can easily create your account from Pakistan and publish your books anywhere in the world.

Just like that today we will create an account with Amazon Affiliate Marketing. Where do we do it? On Amazon Associate Program.

Whenever you go to Amazon.com they will offer you sign-up and to become their associate or if you don’t find that link, go to google and search Amazon Associate Program.

Let me repeat Amazon Associate Program. A page will open in front of you,

click sign-up provide your credentials, make sure all is correct, nothing is fake,

use your Pakistani address, postal code, contact details even mobile number as you get a verification code on your mobile,

you enter that code there and your account of Amazon Affiliate Marketing.

Now, we are free from the tension that now we can do legal affiliate marketing from Pakistan.

Now I will shed some light on what is Affiliate Marketing or what you may call it Amazon Associate Program.

Amazon offers if you don’t have money to open a shop with me, no issues,

these already opened shops with me where people have paid me for advertisement, be my agent and sell their products and advertise them.

I will pay a commission on each sale. That commission could be 2%, 8%, or 10%.

The commission varies from product to product as to which category you are selling.

For example, there would be different % on beauty items and if you are working on sports equipment, Amazon's commission will be different.

Right now, we are not discussing how to sell those items. I am just giving you the concept of Affiliate Marketing.

Amazon is a marketplace where people have shops and Amazon advertise those shops to help them sell

you are helping Amazon in advertising by giving them client and boosting sale, and as you claim sale,

Amazon will pay you a commission as a sales agent means you have no invested money.

Your job is to select a product from thousands of products on Amazon, sell it, and earn a commission.

You don’t have to maintain inventory nor do you have to purchase it and you don’t even pay any kind of fee to Amazon.

You only sold their product and got your commission for it.

Many people are earning handsome income from Affiliate Marketing in Pakistan with everything being legal.

Now we move further to see how Affiliate Marketing works?

This means the question people raise is for example ‘This is a pen. It was listed on Amazon

and have sold it from whatever reference I have asked my friend to please buy this pen. Now, how would Amazon know that this client has bought a pen because of me and this sale belongs to me?

There is a pretty easy solution for it.

Since Amazon has become a trillion $ company and they are pretty smart brainers.

As you created the affiliate account, then Amazon asks you to select the product that you want to sell.

As soon as you select the product, for example, you add a keyword blue pen,

whatever pen you want to sell of which you feel the sale is good and you can sell that easily, you are the one selecting the product.

Once you have selected, after selection Amazon will give you a link that link is in three types of forms,

one is simple text other is an image and then banner form for you to display on your website (that is a separate detail we will discuss that after this).

What I am trying to say is Amazon will share a link with you.

Now, if someone buys a product by clicking on that link, the advantage/commission against it will be automatically transferred into your account.

You don’t have to tell Amazon how many sales you have done.

For example, I search a blue pen and I want to sell it.

I ask Amazon to give me its link, (you will see the get link button there) you click and copy that link and advertise that link.

Now we come to the part ‘how to advertise’? Advertising can be done in 2-3 types.

People create their websites, and blogs, and then paste the link there.

Once the traffic comes and people click on them and go to Amazon to make a purchase. Since the sale is done due to that link, you get the commission.

The second option, people to open their shops on Facebook and advertise their link and promote it.

Customers use those links to purchase the product and you get the advantage/commission.

Many methods are free of cost and many on which you have to invest money.

For example, if you are on your shop on Facebook and it has great popularity and if you post anything, you will get traffic,

in this case, you don’t need to spend any money as your product will start selling as you have already created your social profile on Facebook

that is famous amongst the people or you have managed good traffic with the help of SEO.

So, now you don’t have traffic issues, whatever you post will start selling from there.

The second thing you say ‘sir I don’t have a website nor do I have any social media page

or my page does not have much following/likes even if I upload something there nobody will like it.

For this, you use paid marketing of that link on the same page.

You show your product to specific people who are interested in it.

There is a complete campaign and we will make a video on the topic ‘How to do Facebook marketing and how to run add campaigns on Facebook’?

With these ad campaigns, not only you can establish an Amazon business but you can advertise any business in the world on Facebook through this paid promotion.

On many occasions you have seen while surfing on Facebook you are seeing ads like some restaurant

and you might find that restaurant in a place where you have not been before as that restaurant would not be on the main street, rather will be on some inner side of the street.

But the beauty of social media is that it brings products right in front of you.

I share this as an example of how strong this marketing is.

I am sitting here in Lahore and I want to market my motorcycle and rickshaw I have designed a simple campaign

for this and posted it on Facebook and you won’t believe me that I have spent only Rs. 1,428/- and in return, I got a list of 25 dealers.

This means people are getting engaged from that post. Some people only need 1 unit, I am entertaining them as well and offering them factory price.

Ultimately in a month if I have sold 1,000 units, and out of it, if 400 are sold to walk-in customers, then it is good for me.

This means, that whatever profit I have to pay to the dealer, now I am getting direct from the customer.

It is beneficial for me and the customer as the dealer has to keep his/her margin.

Now another advantage is I am getting calls from different cities

for example I am in Lahore and got a call from Chaman, Gilgit, Mardan that ‘I need your dealership’.

Means by sitting here, I have communicated to my target audience all over Pakistan

that ‘I have this product for sale which is Motorcycle and Rikshaw is there any buyer? Please come. People are getting in touch with me.

Another way is I take my car and my marketing team with me, and went into the market for its advertisement and sale.

Now, you tell me which method is good. The one where I am going to an unknown market where I don’t know what will happen

whether someone will present me a glass of water or not?

So why not I communicate my image to the people from here and whoever is interested, will come to my factory and then I will see the dealership point.

This looks more favorable. So, social media marketing is the future. I think everyone should learn it.

Everyone, whatever business you are doing must learn it. As I have 3-4 businesses, I use all these skills in all of my businesses.

To learn these, I don’t have to join any academy

I have read the tutorials on Youtube and learned them by watching videos like learning one thing from here and another from there

and now I have learned everything that at least needed by me to advertise my product.

Now coming back to the topic. The need to emphasize in the video was to let you know that social media marketing is the future

and it will not only help you on Amazon but also give you different projects from the local market.

For example, a new restaurant opens, and they ask for Digital Marketers, here you jump in ‘sir I can bring the traffic to your restaurant’.

They will pay you a handsome monthly amount. Service charges are paid separately from the campaign charges.

Getting back there again, if you have the skill, there are benefits otherwise, no benefit.

Again, coming back to the topic, by using social media marketing skills, we have to advertise that link.

Show the buyers that a blue pen is available. Do you want some? Whoever needs it

will buy it by clicking on the link and you will get the commission. Let’s move to the next topic.

I am only sharing highlights and not getting into details because it is not possible to teach all Affiliate Marketing in 10-15mins video.

The next important point is ‘what are we going to sell’?

Just as you have learned in product hunting that what we are going to sell in PL (Private Label).

Similarly, we have to see what do we sell? For example, you are selling a $10 product and if Amazon pays 2% of $10, that would only be a few cents.

Is that beneficial for you? Well, that $10 product could give you much more sales.

On the other side, you want to sell a Sony camera and you start selling the Sony camera list.

There is a possibility of 0 sales in the first, second, and third week.

But if you be able to sell 2 units in a month, there would be a substantial commission into your account.

Now, we have decided what would be our price range. I recommend to sale an expensive item as you will get a decent/reasonable % in that sale.

It is not like you have to sell only one product. You can generate 1000 links and sell 1000 products.

You will be getting a commission against each sale.

If you have your website and have all kinds of traffic on it, then these multiple products will be beneficial and your sale chance increases.

You don’t only sell one product but all the products that come under that niche. For example,

if you are selling a camera or battery, the traffic coming to your website is the one that is interested in these products.

A camera selling website will not sell herbal products or medicine because the client he is getting is not there to buy medicine

but to buy electronics items so you have to keep this in mind. Now we have seen what should be the price range.

You should prefer to sell the product at a handsome price. Secondly, try to sell some services.

For example, there are lots of subscriptions to Amazon. The benefit of selling subscriptions is that

they will be renewed every month and you will get a commission on every renewal.

The camera is a one-time sale and the buyer will not buy the camera again next month.

So the subscriptions and other things like this for example music CDs, if you selling something like this then their renewal is every month.

If you can sell 10-12 subscriptions it means you will be getting a commission against all these every month as those people do renew their subscriptions.

Another thing, you should define a niche in which you have expertise. Like you say

‘sir I want to work in this niche as my Facebook page has covered it and there is good traffic and the page has the same kind of following.

As I told you a little while ago if a customer came for electronics then even if the customer found a medicine add, he/she will not buy medicine.

I hope that you have understood these small tips that I have shared.

They all are related to your skill and there is no need for investment.

The maximum investment could be your website or the amount you spent on advertising that link.

No inventory purchase, no bleeding, no ranking required, product don’t need to rank upwards from 30th to 1st page.

You have the choice as you are already selling a top brand product and it is easy to sell it.

Here, I would like to add another point, whenever you are going to select a product, you must see which product has a promotion.

Products with the promotion are pretty easy to sell because where you are advertising it,

you will also mention discounts like a 40% flat discount. That 40% discount will attract every buyer.

When buyers get to the list and see a 40% discount there as well, the conversion chances will increase.

If you are selling are pen for $10, then the customer will buy if they have to otherwise most will not buy.

But if you write, ‘get $20 pen in just $10. Flat 50% discount (make sure that it also appears on the data list as the buyer is not a fool and will do a comparison).

So, it is easy to sell and earn commission on special promotions.

Hope you like our video. Any questions related to Associate Marketing or Amazon Associate Program, or Amazon Affiliate Marketing, do ask in the comments.

And I hope those whose dreams are shattered by me, are no more angry with me.

Like in my last video that PL (Private Label) requires some doing.

Now they can come into Affiliate Marketing and can generate earnings

I knew a few people who are earning 1.5-1.6million per month from Affiliate Marketing.

So, it is your hard work and skill. The more you get into it, the more you will earn.

Take care.
