How to join Amazon Affiliate Seller Edition: Detailed Guide

Amazon Associates is a promotion program launched by Amazon to help content creators, publishers and bloggers make money through traffic. As a member of the Amazon Seller Alliance, merchants can recommend Amazon products to others through promotional links and earn commissions. Merchants can add Amazon promotion links to their websites, blogs, social media and other channels, and earn commissions by visiting and purchasing products on the links.

Join conditions

The conditions for joining the Amazon Alliance Seller Edition are relatively relaxed. Merchants only need to have their own website or blog and provide real contact information. However, it should be noted that Amazon will review the merchant’s website or blog to ensure that its content complies with Amazon’s policy requirements. Merchants need to ensure that the content of their websites or blogs is legal and cannot contain fraudulent behaviors such as inducing clicks or defrauding traffic. Otherwise, they may be refused to join the Amazon Affiliate Seller Edition.

In addition, in order to better utilize the Amazon affiliate program, it is recommended to have your own independent station or blog.
