Blogger (Powered by Google) partnered with Amazon Associate program as a way to give more ways to monetize its bloggers on Blogger.com. Now Bloggers can show Amazon products into their blog posts or within their blog sidebars quite easily without going into their Amazon Associate account and at the same time earn some money for every product sold through their affiliate ID. It will save lots of time and effort from the bloggers end to find products and placing corresponding codes into their blogs posts and sidebars. Now Amazon products are a click away from your blog and require no coding effort from your end.
With Amazon Associate program being integrated into Blogger blogs, now we can show related products into our blog posts while creating our new blog posts and also make change into our existing blog posts to include some related product widgets, links or images from Amazon as a way to make more money from our blogs that are created on Blogger platform.
To start using this monetization method, you will first need to go into your Blogger account and Click Monetize link and then click on the Amazon Associates link available in Navigation bar as shown in the image below:
If you don’t have an account with Amazon Associate program, apply for an associate account by selecting the ‘I want to create a new Associates ID’ button. And in case you already have an affiliate account with Amazon Associate program, enter your Amazon.com Associates ID into the text box available against ‘I already have an Amazon.com Associates ID‘ when we chose the second radio button. And in case you are not sure about your Amazon associate or Affiliate ID, login into your Amazon associate account to get it. It will be shown into your Associate account dashboard top left hand side as shown in the screen below:
So create an Amazon Associate account by clicking here if you don’t have an account with them by filing all required information. Once you have established your affiliate account with Amazon, its time to use their associate program into your Blogger blogs powered by Google. You will need to make ‘Add The Product Finder’ option enabled from Amazon Associates link after entering your Associate ID as shown in screen below:
Once ‘Add The Product Finder’ option is enables, we can add links, images, links + images into our blog posts while drafting our new posts and can even edit our existing posts to include some targeted products as a way to make more money from our blogs.

The Secrets of Selling Affiliate Products from Your
There is an art for selling affiliate products/items from your blog. Affiliate selling is perhaps the most effective way to make large amount of money online. Unfortunately, many people are not very marketing-savvy to sell affiliate products. They stick to their pay-per-click ads and banner ads which provide a very mediocre amount of income. These are the secrets to a successful stint by selling affiliate products:
Target Niche
The affiliate items that you sell should be related to your blog niche. No one will buy your product if you blog about Movies and sell web hosting offers to your readers. It is a rather logical thing but many people make this costly mistake. So a lot of their traffic who could have been potential customers is lost because of such a basic mistake.
Be a Compulsive Seller
Learn to write great posts that analyze a particular product and help the reader in realizing the value of your product. Your posts should not feel as if you are selling something instead they should be like a great new product which you are introducing to your readers.
Demographics
Demographics of a blog include the average age of the visitors to your blog. It is possible to find out what is the age range of the majority of your blog visitors. If you have a young traffic then the products that you sell will be entirely different from what you would sell if the traffic you cater is above 50-years old.
Region
The part of the globe where your website gets a majority of the visitors is important. This matters a lot primarily because the products that may be required in an Asian country may be totally different from that of the Western world. Although most of the time, it makes no difference. But if you are catering to Asian countries you would not sell products based on Thanksgiving, Halloween etc. as this region does not celebrate all these events. Movies, music, clothes are safe affiliate products which you can offer anyone.
Sell Quality Products
Don’t sell spammy and poor quality of products. Be a good seller but sell only quality products so that you can earn the trust of buyers. This is important to ensure that you have a continued growth in the future for affiliate sales.
I hope that by following these golden rules of selling affiliate products you are able to boost the money you make online. Would you like to add some more points to this list?
