Whenever someone clicks an affiliate link and makes a qualifying purchase, the creator earns a small commission (typically between 1%–10%, depending on the category).
For sellers, the key is simple: if your product gets picked up by affiliates, you may see a steady stream of external traffic — often warm and highly motivated to convert.
But there’s one catch: affiliates pick what to promote. They scan Amazon for products with high conversion rates, appealing visuals, strong reviews, and consistent demand. Your goal is to make sure your listing checks all those boxes — and then some.
If you're wondering how to become an Amazon affiliate seller, the process is straightforward: you can join the program through the Amazon Associates portal. The requirements are minimal — typically just an active online presence, like a blog, YouTube channel, or social account, and compliance with Amazon’s content guidelines.
