Some people must find this title unbelievable. How about making your own money? Does this kind of thing make sense? Yes, in fact, “our own money” here refers to the commission we give to Amazon. We can reasonably earn back part of the commission we give to Amazon through reasonable promotion.
To achieve this goal, you first need to understand a project-Amazon Affiliate. This project is somewhat similar to our domestic Taobao customers. We can apply for promotion links through this project and then promote it. As long as customers place an order through our promotion chain, we can get rebates. Therefore, this method is called making your own money.
In fact, we can understand these rebates as part of the Amazon Fee paid, and we can earn part of our Amazon Fee back in this way. Next, let’s first explain the Amazon Affiliate registration process.
The URL to register for this program is: http://affliate-program.amazon.com/. Before registering, let’s discuss the registration principles. This website is a similar distribution platform owned by Amazon. Sellers can register an account here to distribute their own or other people’s products. However, because many times distribution is to promote your own products. If you have multiple stores in operation or you plan to use these links to do some reviews, it is recommended not to use the seller’s network environment to register. In order to avoid suspicion, when we register this account, we try to choose an environment different from our sellers, such as registering through an Internet cafe or an outside public network, so as not to be associated with our own account.
The first step is to register for the Amazon project. The prerequisite is that you have your own website or blog. I have already talked about how to register a blog. Here we can directly use the blog to register. Click the URL to enter the page. At this time, you can click Login above and log in with our Amazon account or select Join Now for Free to log in or register. You can use our buyer account to log in. If not, just choose to register directly. Of course, it is not recommended to use your own buyer account to register. It is recommended to use a new account.
The second step is to click Join Now for Free to enter the page shown in Figure 14-16. If you have your own account, you can log in; if not, click Create Your Amazon account below and enter your name, email address, and the password you want to set.
The third step is to fill in the registration information. As shown in Figure 14-17, here you need to fill in some information that is required when registering with Amazon. Be sure to fill it in carefully to avoid mistakes.
Because what is involved here is the seller’s payment issue. If you fill in an address at random and later need a check to collect payment, then your check will be sent to the address you filled in. Your money will also be sent to others.
Of course, you can also choose other payment methods. Check is just one of them. There are two other payment methods, which will be mentioned later.
When filling in the name and address, it is recommended to fill in the complete pinyin. There is no need to deliberately reverse the name. One is to make it easier for you to pass the authenticity review if Amazon asks you to do so in the future; second, as mentioned earlier, if you choose to use a check to accept payment, the postman may not be able to read it when Amazon gives you the check. Knowing your English address may also result in your check being lost. Therefore, the safest way is always Pinyin, which is safer for yourself and others.
For example, if the content to be filled in is Room 808, Building 18, ** Community, No. 108 Huangshan Road, Jianye District, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, we can write: ianyequ, huangshanlu108hao, **xiaoqu, 18dong 808shi. In this way, use all pinyin Just write. Note that provinces and cities have special places to fill in, so there is no need to write them here. Of course, this works if your English is excellent and you don’t need to receive payment via check. In addition, for the last Who is the main contact for this account, please make sure you select The pavee listed above (this is the payment address). Do not fill it in casually to avoid unpredictable errors.
The fourth step is to fill in the promotion information, as shown in Figure 14-18. Fill in your website or your APP here, and choose whether your website is open to people over 13 years old. Select NO here. .
After clicking Confirm, proceed to the next step of filling in the information.
The fifth step is to tell Amazon about our website. Here you need to fill in an ID (you can edit it yourself) and various types of website information.
The sixth step is to fill in your mobile phone number on the page and click Call me Now. Then you will receive a call with the verification code. When you answer the call, the phone will announce the verification code to you. At this time, there will be an additional input box on the page. Just fill in the verification code you received into the input box. Next click “Finish” and the registration is completed.
After completing this step, a page will pop up telling us that we have successfully registered. At this time, if you log in to the email address you filled in when you registered, you will also see a notification email indicating that our registration was successful.
Next, we need to choose the payment method in our account. Generally speaking, Amazon provides the following three payment methods.
(1) Amazon Gift Card (Amazon Gift Card), which can be consumed on the Amazon website in the country of application
(2) Bank transfer, only US bank cards, Pavoneer can also be used here Or other third-party payment cards.
(3) Check mailing, accepted worldwide, minimum payment is US$100. Of course, you can set a different threshold (but the minimum is $100).
The first is Amazon gift card, which is equivalent to recharging into your Amazon account. However, this kind of gift card is actually a virtual shopping card. After you choose this payment method, Amazon will transfer the money to your gift card account after each issue of the bill. You can use this money to shop on Amazon or Sales are conducted directly on the domestic Diannan platform. There are many people doing this kind of business, so you don’t have to worry about not being able to sell your cards.
Second, as a domestic seller, you can only apply for WF or p card and other types of collection cards to collect payment. We have done comparisons between these cards before, so I won’t go into them here. As an Amazon seller, this content should be very familiar.
The third option is a check. We can choose to have Amazon give us regular checks. If you choose to receive payment by check, for example, if your payment exceeds 100 US dollars at the end of December, it will appear; now in your January bill, Amazon will send you a check from the United States at the end of February. It will take about two weeks to get it into your hands. Sellers who choose this method must make sure that your payee address is filled in correctly, otherwise it will be very troublesome if the check is lost. After receiving the check, you can take the check to Bank of China to apply for check collection service. After the collection is completed, it will take about 4 weeks for the money to arrive in your domestic account. As a reminder, Bank of China will charge a handling fee here. Therefore, the check method is not recommended as it takes a long time to collect payment and the cost is high.
After completing this registration, the method of obtaining the promotion link is very simple, as shown in Figure 14-22. We only need to go to the page we want to promote and log in to our alliance account. There will be a button to get the promotion link directly. If we want to get a text link, we only need to click Text, and the current page will automatically generate a link address. This is our promotion link. Of course, you can also choose a long link (Full Link) or a short link (short Link). There is no difference in usage between the two. Short links can be used in situations where characters are limited to reduce character length.
The above are all the steps to obtain Amazon promotion links. Sellers can put this link on their website for their own promotion. This way, sellers can start making their own money. Of course, making money is not the main purpose here. Sellers mainly want to sell their products through promotion, and sales are the ultimate goal.
