Step 1: Sign Up for Amazon Associates

1. Search for Amazon Associates and click the first link.

2. Create an account and wait for approval. Once approved, you’ll have access to Amazon’s affiliate dashboard.

Step 2: Choose Products to Promote

1. Go to Amazon.com and browse the best-sellers.

2. Pick a product you love or know well. For instance, I chose AirPods under the electronics category.

3. Click Text at the top of the page to generate your affiliate link and copy it. This link is how you’ll earn commissions.

Step 3: Set Up a Business Link Hub

You need a central hub to host your affiliate links.

1. Create a Linktree or Stan Store account.

2. Add your affiliate links to your Linktree or Stan Store. This will serve as the destination for all your traffic.

Step 4: Create Pins on Pinterest

1. Create a Pinterest business account for free.

2. Click Create a Pin and upload a high-quality image of the product you’re promoting (Amazon’s product images work well).

3. Write an engaging title and description for your pin. Highlight why the product is great.

4. Add your Stan Store or Linktree link as the URL for the pin.

5. Once you’re satisfied with the pin, click Publish.

Step 5: Drive Traffic and Earn Commissions

When users click on your pin, they’ll be directed to your Linktree or Stan Store, where they can click your Amazon affiliate link to purchase the product. For every sale, you’ll earn a commission.

Scaling to Six Figures

• Consistency: Post pins daily to build momentum.

• Niche Down: Focus on one product category, like electronics or fitness gear, to attract a loyal audience.

• Engage: Reply to comments and build a presence on Pinterest.

How does Amazon Associates pay?

Amazon pays commissions based on the product’s category, typically between 1-10%. Payments are made monthly.

Why use Pinterest?

Pinterest has millions of users searching for products, making it a perfect platform to drive free, organic traffic to your affiliate links.

What tools do I need?

You’ll need an Amazon Associates account, a Pinterest business account, and a link-hosting tool like Linktree or Stan Store.

With minimal investment and a clear plan, you can scale this affiliate model to six figures or more. Ready to start? Your next step is just a sign-up away!
