I have a good news for you. The good news is you can start to make money through Amazon.com Associates Program by just displaying or advertising products for users to buy. It's on the products users buy through your links that you get commissions. An increase in sale will equally increase your revenue, and this way you could improve your financial lifestyle.
Amazon is a popular name on the internet. It is so because the quality of service it renders speaks for it. Not only that, the programs it runs - selling of products on Amazon, Kindle for Associates, Product Advertising, Vendors & Publishers, Amazon WebStore, Amazon Product Ads e.t.c. - that allow virtually everyone to participate are its propellants.
Just sign up as an Amazon Associate. It's free. Visit Amazon and click on the Join Associates link on the page.
You should already have a site because it's one of the requirements to join the Associate Program. The URL of your site will be requested, they need it to review your site after which your application will get an approval.
You can create a site for free at Blogger in minutes. Decide your domain name and register it. Decide on a topic you're going to discuss. You may pick a topic that you enjoy and know something about. Choose a niche to be distinctive. By the way, doing product reviews and recommendations is great, you may consider it.
At this point, you can select the product you would like to review. Use the Site Stripe - that you'll see when you logged in as an Associate - to get your personalized link to any item or product.
You can equally choose from a variety of other options either for creating links and banners. There is also a link to the product with your Amazon Associate ID built in, after writing your product review, choose the appropriate categories for it.
There is a need for you to promote your site. Some of the free way to do this is to communicate with other bloggers writing about similar topics, participate in online communities where your topic is discussed and make use of search engine optimization. I have a write-up here about how you can get visitors to your site. You can read it to learn further.
The process above is what made my application to join Amazon.com Associate successful. It's not hard to earn money from Amazon.com if you have better traffic to your site and users buy products through the ads you display because it builds over time.
