As we all know Twitter is a microblogging platform with limited number of characters used to tweet to promote your affiliate products with few hashtags by crisply explaining the benefits of the product with images or short video in line with Twitter’s guidelines. It’s visibility is very limited if you do not post tweets often in a day as millions of users on Twitter platform tweet every second about something. Most of the tweets disappear without any impression or click. So, you need to tweet continuously in a day to get better visibility.

To increase the visibility with your target audience it may be necessary to tweet at least more than 10 and within 15 tweets in a day and don’t over do it by going beyond 15 tweets as it is considered as spamming then people may unfollow you and eventually end up on losing your hard earned followers.

Try to find a balance between doing and overdoing to be able to promote your affiliate products successfully and you also need to find the best productive time to post your tweets in order to get your followers attention. This is an another topic needs to be discussed separately.


Google or Bing or Yahoo search:

There are tons of affiliate products available online. It is very much important to start searching for your niche products broadly then narrow down to few products and finally getting your specific niche products. opt out of programs that are not supported in your location or physical products that are not locally available near to your location. Most of the digital products are not localized and can be sold in most parts of the world.

Amazon is opening one more brick and mortar store called Amazon Style along with other already existing stores for fresh grocery, books and even a hair salon. Its first physical clothing store is coming up in The Americana at Brand in Los Angeles later this year.

Yes, why not? it is definitely worth promoting Amazon products in 2022. Amazon has millions of products to promote that cover almost all of the niches with only a few exceptions. Amazon is an e-commerce giant selling quality products available at the best prices, great offers, and gives the best customer experience. Most of the affiliate marketers would love to promote products with high conversion rates and earn good commissions.

Though sales growth was achieved in Q3 of 2021 there was a decline in profit in Q3 of 2021 compared to the year-earlier that doesn't going to hurt its march towards 2022.

Amazon net income Q3 2021
Amazon revenue Q3 2021

Now in the list below you can see more advantages than disadvantages in selling Amazon products in the Year 2022.

You can see the pluses and minuses listed below

Pluses:

  1. Amazon has a wide range of products that cover most of the countries in the world, so is their customer base and it is very easy to find products related to your niches.
  2. You can promote using affiliate links or HTML scripts for banner ads in your blogs or sites for every single product or whole page containing products listed.
  3. Once you logged in to your Amazon associates account you can see the SiteStripe toolbar at the top of the page from where you can create text links, image links, text and image links, custom native shopping ads and you can also promote your affiliate link directly to Facebook or Twitter straight from SiteStripe toolbar.
  4. You have the choice to shorten links or original long links to promote according to your requirements.
  5. Custom links contain codes with images, prices, descriptions, and a buy button.
  6. Though cookie duration is 24 hours ( If a visitor clicks your link he or she has to make a purchase within 24 hours), on the other hand, if a visitor clicks the link and places the product in the cart the cookie duration extends to 90 days.
  7. You are allowed to create international affiliate accounts example Amazon..com, Amazon.ca or http://amazon.au
  8. Amazon has an extensive reporting system to track your affiliate sales and you can analyze your sales campaigns' performance.
  9. Finally, with excellent customer service resulting in more happy customers and less return of goods, you are guaranteed higher conversions and good commissions.

Now let us focus on minuses or flip side

1. As mentioned earlier the cookie duration is only 24 hours which is a very short time to get maximum conversion.

2. Commission rates range between 10% (Max) to 1% (Min) depending on the products sold.

3. Promoting affiliate links using emails, creating PDF, ebooks, or offline is not allowed.

4. Amazon updates its policies often regularly and you need to be aware of their new terms and conditions.

5 . Need to register for every international Amazon Associate account separately.

Hope this helps!


Can a person do affiliate marketing with Amazon after signing a moonlite bond with the current company for full-time work?

If the employer of the company who is willing to allow a full time employee to sign a moonlight bond ( legally permitting the employee to take up secondary source of income through part time job) then the employee who signs the moonlight bond (provided the employee treats the primary job with full attention and do not allow part time job interfering with the performance of primary job ) will be able to do affiliate marketing with Amazon or any other side hustle.
