About Amazon Associates
Amazon Associates pays 1-20% depending on category (most physical goods 1-4%, luxury beauty 10%, Amazon Games 20%) on anything the visitor buys within 24 hours of clicking, with a $10 threshold on NET-60 terms. Approval is easy but you need three qualifying sales in 180 days or the account is closed. Conversion rates are the best in affiliate marketing; commission rates are among the worst, which is why publishers use it for convenience and other programs for margin.
Pros
- Converts better than any other merchant because everyone has an account
- Every product imaginable, in most countries, with separate programs per store
Cons
- Commission rates are low and have been cut repeatedly
- Account closed if you make fewer than three sales in the first 180 days; strict linking rules
