Although it may seem quite hard to believe, almost anyone can easily earn a decent amount of money using Amazon. The main reason why most people are unaware that such a possibility actually exists is mainly due to lack of exposure. It is known that most people who make money online are stuck in more common areas that almost everyone uses, like eBay. Although these websites are known to help make money in the long run as well, they have become quite saturated in terms of market competition.

The good thing about Amazon is that almost 95% of the hard work is already done for you. Amazon is known to generate over a million clicks per month and is seen as one of the most respected and widely used online web store portals. Since it already has a huge presence in the market and people would feel safe using it, one can easily use this to their advantage and start making money through Amazon. The approach you use will vary significantly depending on what you are already doing in the online marketplace.

One of the possibilities that you can take advantage of is the Advantage program. What this program allows you is to simply publish any book you have on Amazon for sale. The good thing is that it doesn’t really matter if you’re selling your book somewhere else. As long as you own the rights to the book or are the author, you can easily take advantage of this program. All you will need to do is visit their website and follow the corresponding steps.

Another service that you can use through Amazon is their affiliate program. This program basically allows you to promote certain products on the Amazon site, through your own means. The approach you could use could be through Google ad-words, forum posts, websites, social networking sites and the list goes on. Now you may be wondering how this works. What you basically have to do is get people to buy certain products on Amazon by going through your link. As a result, you will earn a commission for each sale that is made through your link.

One of the best services one can use on Amazon is for those who are already selling a product online. The service is known as aStore. Let’s say, for example, that you are selling soccer balls as a product or information about soccer as a sport in general. With the aStore feature, you can run your own mini website on Amazon that will house all soccer related products. The link of this Amazon store that you have created can be published on your original website. This will help you take advantage of the traffic you are generating to your website to sell more products in addition to your own. For every product you sell on Amazon, you will automatically be entitled to a commission.
