Top 5 Amazon Affiliate websites

Amazon Associates is the affiliate marketing arm of Amazon, offering individuals and businesses an opportunity to earn a commission by promoting products available on the platform. The process involves affiliates signing up, choosing products to promote, generating unique affiliate links, and earning a commission for every sale made through those links. Amazon's program covers an extensive range of products, making it versatile for affiliates across different niches.
Features of Amazon Associates:

1. Product Diversity: Amazon Associates boasts a diverse array of products for promotion, covering everything from electronics and fashion to books and household goods.
2. Performance-Based Commissions: Affiliates earn commissions on the entire purchase made by the referred customer, not just the specific product they promoted. This "shopping cart" model can result in potentially higher earnings per customer.
3. Trusted Brand Recognition: The global presence and trusted reputation of Amazon contribute significantly to higher conversion rates for affiliates. Users are more likely to make a purchase through an Amazon link due to the familiarity and trust associated with the brand.

1. Epic Gardening.

Uses big pictures and tons of informative text. Theres how-tos, videos and Q&A. Sources of traffic are varied and so is the revenue stream. A lot comes from Amazon affiliate programs but other pages are ads. If you have a low converting page or a low priced page then place ads on it instead, see if you get a better revenue stream. Epic also does something else that is overlooked- posts their subscriber numbers. This is social proof of all the social sites and promotes more signups.

2. Retro Dodo

One of the biggest retro gaming sites (roughly 2.2million views per month). Uses guides and videos. retro is a big market- you can go into Walmart and find small handheld arcade machines. The PS1 was redone and sold well. The best thing about retro gaming is that the older that some of the machines get the more valuable they can get. Also, what is retro? The PS3 and XBOX 1 could be classed as retro.

3. Roasty Coffee

Has 320k visits per month in a very competitive market. However that market is also filled with people who know their stuff. The theme is Carbonite (originally created for the site). It loads fast and is very clean and specific to selling. In other words it offers:

• email sign up straight away
• it gives logo testimonials
• "good reads" is the main type of article that you come by, they are big buying guides
• Amazon affiliate program and display ads are on offer to diversity the income stream
• articles are filled with internal links which make you stay longer onsite
  

4. Equip Board

This highlights known band equipment. This is a really good idea because a lot of up and coming musicians want to see what their idols and favourites use- how do they get the sound? SEO is also based upon people searching for a specific musician- and there is a ton of search love and demand for this. Music equipment is also quite highly priced- or has many replaceable parts.

This site uses Best Of, Most Popular type of content that are used by the pros or people who are in the business. E.g. "most popular used compression pedals used by bassists". they also have a community page where you can post your own gear.

5. Dog Food Advisor

Some people would laugh at the title and idea. But when you realise that the pet food industry is worth $136 billion annually in the US alone and you can see why a retired Dentist would create this site. It is mainly aimed at the advisory sector- which is a cool niche because there is a little bit of fear and caring in making sure that your dog is OK. It has 1 million visitors per month. Oh...it was also acquired in January 2023 for a cool $9 million in cash.

The most popular Amazon associates niches?

These niches should be checked out but also you must remember that the most common/ profitable niches are also the most competitive. People stay away from these niches and in doing so end up quitting because there is no point- there is no money if you niche too much. Remember DogFood Advisor? The dog food industry, espeically the pet food industry is stoopidly competitive. So instead of doing another pet website the owner did one regarding advisory and ratings. I

Amazon Affiliate also has some downsides

It is all not skipping and jumping to the bank. being online has one negative that all ecommerce websites/ content websites must bare:

• Low barrier. To set up a website with a domain name takes a couple of dollars. To set up a Youtube channel is free. Anyone can do it. And that is the problem, with the amount of websites online you need to figure out how to get through the crowd or be big enough in a smaller niche that is profitable.
  

• Low Commission Rates: Amazon's commission rates are often lower compared to other affiliate programs, especially for certain product categories. Some people have gone directly to the manufacturer of the products. Other have just used a different affiliate program and got the better commissions.
  

• Cookie Duration: Amazon has a short cookie duration (the time a referral is tracked), which means affiliates may not earn commissions if the customer delays the purchase.

• Restrictions on Promotions: Amazon has strict rules on how affiliates can promote products, limiting certain promotional methods.

• Rules: Amazon is very strict on rules and unfortunately can change the rules quite quickly, so you would need to keep up-to-date with their terms and conditions regularly

• Competition. The environment for affiliate selling is strong on Amazon but sometimes it can be misplaced. Many people will try and sell higher priced items because they have bigger commissions. But they need more input to sell. Ebooks and smaller priced items can be classed as quick sells. While they might not earn a ton straight away, multiple links and products can add up to larger sums.
