Amazon and Alibaba are two of the biggest online retailers in the world, with nearly everyone making purchases from them at some point in their lives. You can too! Here’s how to make money from Amazon or Alibaba using affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing allows you to promote products or services through your own site and earn commissions on sales you refer directly to your online shop or marketplace. It’s not hard to get started with affiliate marketing, and there are a lot of companies that will pay you to promote their products as an affiliate marketer, including Amazon and Alibaba.
Get on Amazon
The best thing about selling on Amazon is that you can use their professional platform for free. You don’t need to be an affiliate marketer and you don’t need a website, just an AWS account and Paypal. Once you have your products uploaded and your listing optimized, it’s time to start marketing your products! There are many ways to do so, but one of my favorites is by using Facebook ads. Start by creating a new campaign in Facebook ads manager and set up your targeting based on keywords related to your product category. Then create an ad using one of these templates
Learn about being an Amazon affiliate
One way to earn extra cash is through affiliate marketing. As an affiliate, you sell products on other sites for a commission (typically about 10% of the sale). This gives you an additional revenue stream on top of your main job, which can help in a pinch—if you ever have a month when business is slow at work, for example. Just be sure that your audience doesn’t object too strongly to being pitched what seems like hundreds of different companies every time they visit your site.
Make your own website
There are several ways that you can monetize your ecommerce store. You can sell products on your website and earn a percentage of every sale made on your site. Or, you can use affiliate marketing and promote other ecommerce products in return for a commission. There are also many businesses who only use Alibaba as their platform and don’t sell directly through their own ecommerce websites. The most popular method is to set up an affiliate marketing business and refer people through affiliate links for specific products.
Get people to visit your site
If you’re in e-commerce, get people to visit your site and start buying things! The first step is finding a good platform for selling. You have a few options here: Shopify (most user friendly), BigCommerce, Magento, WooCommerce.
Have them buy something and you get commission!
If you want your first sale as soon as possible, simply ask them if they’re interested in buying something. Since they already asked for your advice and are already engaged with you, it’s a relatively easy sale at that point. Then, when someone buys something through your link, you get a commission—that part comes later.
Join another affiliate program for extra income
Another great way to generate extra income is by becoming an affiliate marketer. This means that you will get paid a commission when someone buys products through your links, whether you send them straight through to an ecommerce site like Amazon or if you take them first to a landing page where they sign up for more information.
