Amazon associates is something amazon (the online shopping website) have launched. It has been around for a rather long time, but i have only just found out about it, it is very new to me.
Amazon associates is meant to give bloggers and website owners the chance to make money by advertising amazon's products. The blogger, or website owner, put links on their blog/website to the product they want people to see. when people click on this link and buy the product, the blogger/website owner gets a percenatge in refferal fees (up to 10%).
This sounds like an extremely good idea. However there have been a few complaints about people not getting paid, especially when they start to earn a lot of money from it. When they try to get in touch with amazon, they find it very hard to get in touch. People have been saying that amazon do not reply to their emails, and when they do finally get in touch with amazon, they just refer them to other departments.
I'm not sure if i'm going to give it a try or not, but if i do i shall give you my feedback. If you use Amazon Associates, please leave a comment on what you think about it, and if you are getting paid. Thankyou.
