Hi you !! 🙂
In this article I will tell you about how to make money with Amazon
if you are looking for online earning methods then you absolutely must know the methods that Jeff Bezos’ company offers and that can make you earn much more than a few extra bucks every month 🙂
Amazon is one of the most famous companies in the world and it is thanks to the success of this Ecommerce that Jeff Bezos has become one of the richest men in the world
in our series of articles on how to make money online I couldn’t help but tell you about the possibilities that Amazon offers
How To Make Money On Amazon
More than 100,000 million visitors visit the Amazon.com site each month
this removes a variable from the online income equation
the variable: TRAFFIC
a success and a visibility really beyond all logic and which you can take advantage of by discovering how to make money with Amazon
There are more solutions to make money on Amazon but in this article I want to introduce you to the ones that I think are the best:
- Amazon affiliation
- Amazon FBA
- Selling On Amazon
Amazon affiliation
One of the main ways to make money with Amazon are affiliations,
Jean what are affiliations?
I have already talked about affiliation several times in fact it is also one of my favorite ways to make money with a blog
but if I have to sum it up in a few words …
affiliation consists of promoting and selling another company’s product in exchange for a commission
Amazon has a specific program directly aimed at those people who want to affiliate
the program is called: AMAZON AFFILIATE PROGRAM
this program allows you to share products and programs available on Amazon
using link building tools and earning revenue on customer sales
the Amazon affiliate program is one of the largest affiliate programs in the world and with a great reputation as well as seriousness
How to register?
registering with the Amazon program is very fast and can be summarized in 4 main steps
- Sign up for the affiliate program
- Select the product to promote
- Create the custom link
- Insert the link in one of your articles
Registering for the program is very simple, no particular requirement is required apart from obviously owning a website or blog
all content creators can participate in this program
also influencers with, in Amazon ‘s words , “a consolidated following of followers”
After you have registered you will be able to promote the products available on the Amazon platform with Affiliate links
getting a commission every time a user buys a product through your link
the commission that Amazon takes varies from product to product
on average we are talking about figures from 3% to 12% on the product sold
The affiliation solution is excellent if you have a website or a social account with a lot of following
the advantages of this method is certainly the fact that it is totally free and without additional costs and in addition you can benefit from the reputation of Amazon products, products that are much loved by customers thanks to the reputation of Amazon
A non-negligible advantage that makes it very easy to sell and easy to make money with Amazon affiliations
while the disadvantage is that the commissions are low and to have good earnings you need good traffic
Amazon Handmade
Amazon Handmade is an amazon community where artists and artisans can sell their products to the whole world
handmade accounts are very different from regular Amazon Seller accounts, and the business model is different from other Amazon selling methods
all products sold on handmande must be exclusively handmade , modified by hand and assembled by hand, no products left the factory with a mass production system are allowed on the handmade market place

Amazon Mechanical Turk
Amazon Mechanical Turk is Amazon ‘s crowsourcing platform that allows individuals and companies to easily outsource virtual tasks
Amazon Mechanical Turk could be a great tool to help you supplement your salary every month during your free time by doing some simple actions
The tasks on Amazon MTurk are called HITS : acronym for Human Intelligence

And they are basically micro tasks that can consist of identifying objects in videos or photos, or transcribing an audio file or searching for particular details in some file.
Mechanical turk offers millions of tasks available every day to allow you to find the ones that match your interest or expertise

and you will receive the payment either by bank transfer or through amazon vouchers
Making Money With Amazon FBA
Amazon FBA (Fulfillment By Amazon ) is Jeff Bezon’s service that gives you the opportunity to sell your products using Amazon ‘s logistics
great if you already have a series of products ready for sale or even better if you have a shop
thanks to Amazon FBA you will have the opportunity to focus exclusively on the most significant aspects of your products such as the quality or quantity of production
without having to worry about logistics and the problems that arise from it (shipping delays, storage spaces, goods organization, customer complaints etc …)
There are many benefits of the Amazon FBA service, especially in the case of the sale of physical products
Once your products are integrated into the Amazon system, they will immediately enjoy the immense visibility, popularity and reputation that the platform has
in addition, your customers will be able to find your products directly on the Amazon site and will be able to benefit from services such as Amazon gift vouchers that incentivize and favor purchases
Registering for Amazon FBA is very simple and after registering Amazon will ask you to choose the tariff plan that suits you:
- BASIC PLAN : completely free , suitable for small traders and individuals without VAT number, limited to the sale of no more than 40 products per month
- PRO PLAN : monthly cost $39 plus storage and shipping costs, sale of unlimited products
Subscription to Amazon FBA can be done through the Amazon Seller or Amazon Seller app available for Android devices on Google Play and for Apple devices in the Apple Store
Selling On Amazon
Amazon is the number one Ecommerce in the world and its strength lies in the fact that it has a catalog of millions of products and that everyone has found exactly what they need.
by becoming an Amazon seller you can also distribute your products
the advantages you have by becoming an Amazon seller are:
- the ability to use Amazon ‘s visibility which will allow you to offer your products to millions of people
- the ability to easily sell your products across Europe using Amazon sites and logistics in Europe
- access to reports, graphs and statistics as well as all Amazon tools to improve your business
with a good product, a good supplier and detailed technical data sheets, well written and encouraging customers to buy , you can also increase your earnings as an Amazon seller
Sales can be managed via smartphone, there is the Amazon seller app (or Amazon Seller ), both for Android devices on Google Play (or Play store), and on Apple devices in the Apple store
Selling On Amazon Costs
Selling on Amazon has its costs:
- $39 per month if you are a company with a VAT number
- $0.99 for each item sold if you are a private individual without VAT number
In addition, you should know that there are 2 additional costs for Amazon sellers :
- REPORTING FEE : commission that sellers pay to Amazon for each product sold, applicable to all products and different depending on the product category
- CLOSING FEES : fees applicable only to certain product categories (books, music, DVDs, Videos, Video games …)
Selling on Amazon as a private individual without a VAT number
Yes, it is possible to sell on Amazon without a VAT number
Ehm Jean can you remind me what the VAT number is for?
Sure, many people forget it 🙂
The VAT number is the identification number of an activity that is used to pay value added taxes
if you have a business and sell products if required to have a VAT number
if you sell occasionally then you don’t need it
But let’s go back to talking about Amazon !!
You can sell on Amazon as a private individual and therefore without a VAT number , but in this case you must know that you are not considered as a professional seller
therefore you will be able to sell products but not continuously and constantly over time
Amazon has a specific basic plan for non-VAT sellers
In this plan, you have the ability to sell a maximum of 40 items per month
paying a commission of $0.99 on each product sold
But Jean, what is the difference between selling on Amazon and using the Amazon FBA service?
the difference between selling directly on Amazon and using the FBA service simply lies in the fact that in the first case you also distribute your products
you will take care of the management of your storage and shipments and logistics
the advantage of this management method is the total management of the logistics
while the disadvantage is that all this requires a lot more work 🙂
the choice is yours!!
