At 35, I’ve found a way to earn over $40,000 a month while working from anywhere in the world. It’s a straightforward business model using Amazon Associates and Pinterest, and I’ll walk you through the steps to replicate it.
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.
