Quick disclaimer: The Amazon Associates Program has strict policies about using affiliate links that you should adhere to, and those policies change over time. So please make sure you refer to the latest information listed on their website before you proceed.
What’s the Amazon Associates Program?
The Amazon Associates Program is Amazon’s official affiliate marketing program that helps content creators monetize their audience via Amazon’s products.
So if you’re a digital creator (regardless of whether you have any of your own products listed on Amazon for sale), Amazon gives you tools that help you create special links to products that you can promote on your website or social media accounts.
If someone buys anything using those special links, then you get a commission.
So basically, it’s an affiliate program that helps you make money by promoting other people’s or company’s products.
