The best advice is to use some combination of the five&#8230; or all of them.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Affiliate programs<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can be lucrative for mid-sized and large channels because but the affiliate model is also one that can be used from the very start.

By starting early, you&#8217;ll also gain an understanding of how your channel and your growing audience converts. This can help a lot when negotiating your first sponsorship deals. Building a successful affiliate program also creates real value for your channel, providing a baseline for your channel\u2019s value at a given point in time.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this post, we&#8217;ll be talking about <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/insights\/7-tips-for-growing-your-affiliate-sales-through-social-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">affiliate sales<\/a>, and specifically how to succeed as an Amazon affiliate for YouTube. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<section class=\"blog-cta-global\">\n    <div><\/div>\n    <article>\n        <header>\n<!--DONT EDIT THIS IMAMGE-->\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/tubebuddy_by_BENlabs_logo_on_dark_bg.svg\" \/>\n        <\/header>\n        \n<!--EDIT INFO FROM HERE DOWN-->\n        \n        \n<!--HEADER-->\n        <h3>\n            Get an unfair advantage on YouTube\n        <\/h3>\n        \n        \n<!--DESCRIPTION-->\n        <p>\n            Give your YouTube channel the upper hand and easily optimize for more views, more subs, and more of every metric that matters.\n        <\/p>\n        \n<!--CTA LINK &amp; TEXT-->\n        <section>\n            \n    <!--LINK-->\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/pricing?utm_source=site&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=blog-cta&amp;utm_id=standard-cta\">\n                \n    <!--TEXT-->\n                get started\n            <\/a>\n        <\/section>\n        \n<!--BOTTOM IMAGE (REMOVE SRC IF NONE)-->\n  \n     <img \/> \n   \n        \n    <\/article>\n<\/section>\t\t<style>.blog-cta-global{\n    width: 100%;\n    max-width: 800px!important;\n    border-radius: 12px;\n    box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 4px 12px;\n    background-image: url('https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/bg_triangle_green_light_gray-1.png');\n    position: relative;\n    background-size: 300px;\n    background-repeat: repeat;\n    caret-color: transparent;\n}\n\n.blog-cta-global div{\n    position: absolute;\n    height: 100%;\n    width: 100%;\n    background: red;\n    border-radius: 12px;\n    background: linear-gradient(#fafaff, rgba(250,250,255,0.80));\n    z-index: 2;\n}\n.blog-cta-global article{\n  position: relative;\n  z-index: 3;\n  padding-bottom: 5%;\n}\n.blog-cta-global header{\n    background: #0c1942;\n    display: flex;\n    justify-content: center;\n    border-top-left-radius: 12px;\n    border-top-right-radius: 12px;\n    padding: 10px;\n}\n.blog-cta-global header img{\n    width: 180px!important;\n}\n.blog-cta-global article h3{\n    margin: auto;\n    text-align: center;\n    width: 85%;\n    font-size: 40px;\n    padding: 20px;\n}\n.blog-cta-global article p{\n    margin: auto;\n    text-align: center;\n    width: 85%;\n    font-size: 25px;\n    padding-bottom: 20px;\n}\n\n.blog-cta-global article a{\n    padding: 15px 30px;\n    background: #4BEAD7;\n    color: black;\n    margin: auto;\n    font-weight: 600;\n    border-radius: 100px;\n}\n\n.blog-cta-global article section{\n    display: flex;\n    justify-content: center;\n    margin-bottom: 30px;\n}    \n.blog-cta-global article img{\n    width: 80%;\n    display: flex;\n    margin: auto;\n}\n\n@media only screen and (max-width: 475px)  {\n    .blog-cta-global article h3{\n        font-size: 30px;\n        width: 100%;\n    }\n    .blog-cta-global article p{\n        font-size: 20px;\n    }\n}<\/style>\n\t\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-focus-set-your-goal-and-work-toward-it\">Focus: <strong>Set Your Goal and Work Toward It<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>F<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ocus is important in the early stages while diversification is important in the long run. This is relevant in two ways:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. From the multiple revenue stream perspective, we encourage you to start out focusing on <\/meta><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">affiliate marketing<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, it&#8217;s risky to have it (or any of the other five main revenue opportunities we mentioned) as your channel&#8217;s sole revenue stream. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Focus is also relevant inside the world of affiliate marketing. Start out with laser focus. Don&#8217;t join every single affiliate program. Join one, or at most a few, as you start your affiliate marketing journey. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t let yourself get sucked into creative, or complicated, programs and tools. Look for ways to easily and naturally add affiliate links in your content so you can keep your energies focused on building your most important asset. Your audience.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-our-advice-join-the-amazon-affiliate-program-for-youtube\">Our Advice: Join the Amazon Affiliate Program for YouTube<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/affiliate-program.amazon.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Amazon Associates program<\/a> is a great way to learn the affiliate marketing ropes. Also, Amazon offers such a massive variety of products that you&#8217;re sure to find some that are relevant to your audience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;re familiar with the Amazon affiliate program for YouTube, you can consider expanding into other, more rewarding affiliate marketing opportunities from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-affiliate-marketing-works-for-youtubers\"><strong>How Affiliate Marketing works for YouTubers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the simplest terms, affiliate marketing is you, the content creator, recommending a product or service and getting a cut if someone in your audience buys it. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Affiliate marketing programs will give you a unique ID or link that identifies anyone who visits as having been influenced by you and your content.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The retailer, in this case, Amazon, will reward you with a percentage of the money earned on products that were sold to the shopper you recommended.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an Amazon affiliate for YouTube, you can share links in your videos and descriptions. You can also use affiliate links in blog posts, in emails, in social posts&#8230; pretty much anywhere you&#8217;re able to share a link. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most YouTubers will include affiliate links in the descriptions of their videos for products that fall into one of two groups:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. The specific product(s) or service(s) you recommended in your video. For example, an unboxing or gadget review video is the <\/span>perfect candidate<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to include an affiliate link. The viewer to then go buy the product you were talking about.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Links to the products and services you use to create the video or regularly use and swear by. A common example here is to see the list of cameras, mics, and other gear used, with affiliate links to buy them (or even a link to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/kit.co\/explore\/filmgear\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">YouTuber\u2019s \u201ckit\u201d of filmmaking gear<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/blog\/Guest-Posts\/aff2.png\" alt=\"\"><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-amazon-affiliate-marketing-for-youtube-an-overview-nbsp\"><strong>Amazon Affiliate Marketing for YouTube: An Overview&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the Amazon affiliate program, known as the \u201cAmazon <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/affiliate-program.amazon.com\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Associates Program<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,\u201d isn\u2019t perfect, it\u2019s a great place to start and will grow with you. Some of the biggest YouTubers still swear by it. Besides staying \u201cfocused\u201d and starting with just one program, here are some of the things that make the Amazon.com affiliate program a great first step<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest selling point is this: It&#8217;s easy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Amazon affiliate for YouTube program is run by Amazon, for Amazon. You don&#8217;t have to qualify&nbsp;with this affiliate network, or that affiliate network. This removes some of the complexity. All the documentation for the Amazon affiliate program is in one place, in the \u201cAssociates Central\u201d dashboard. Everything in Associates Central is focused on just  the one, single affiliate program.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/blog\/Guest-Posts\/aff3.png\" alt=\"\"><\/span><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>B<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">uilding an Amazon affiliate for YouTube link is  simple. This means you can choose any product you want to recommend and quickly convert it into an affiliate link.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are numerous tools, built and managed by both Amazon as well as third parties, that take a lot of work out of the Associate\u2019s program.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/274255\/market-share-of-the-leading-retailers-in-us-e-commerce\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">According to Statistia<\/a>, Amazon snagged 37 cents of every dollar spent in ecommerce in the US in 2023. There are over 200 million Amazon Prime members, each spending more than $1,000 per year with Amazon on average. <br><br>In other words,<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> most people today are regular Amazon shoppers. People understand and feel comfortable with Amazon as a retailer. The Amazon affiliate for YouTube program is just an extension of the store and so has some inherent familiarity and thus comfort&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, the Amazon affiliate program is mature. The bugs have been worked out. The program has been tested, vetted, and improved over time. So, as long as your affiliate links are built correctly, and you are following the rules, it\u2019s really hard to mess up using the Amazon affiliate program.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-amazon-affiliate-for-youtube-unlocks-a-massive-product-catalog\">Amazon Affiliate for YouTube Unlocks a Massive Product Catalog<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amazon sells a lot of stuff! Amazon has more than 12 million products directly for sale, not including books, media, wine, and services. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, pretty much anything someone could want to buy, they can very likely buy from Amazon. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For YouTube creators, this means you can go deep into your niche, be able to find relevant products to recommend, all without needing to join a specialty retailer affiliate program for YouTube. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-amazon-affiliate-for-youtube-allows-halo-commission\"><strong>Amazon Affiliate for YouTube Allows &#8220;Halo&#8221; Commission<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider Amazon&#8217;s incredible market share and the mind-boggling array of products it offers<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and one of the biggest advantages of Amazon affiliate program comes into focus. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Halo commissions<\/span> on &#8220;indirect qualifying purchases.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Halo commissions are affiliate revenue you can earn on products you weren&#8217;t even recommending. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, you can earn a commissions when someone buys toilet paper, even though they clicked on a link to the TV you were reviewing and recommending. There&#8217;s obviously a bit more to it than that, but these halo commissions can make up a significant chunk of the revenue you generate from the Amazon affiliate program.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-amazon-is-global\"><strong>Amazon is Global<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amazon has incredible brand recognition worldwide, which can be a big benefit for you as you build out the audience on your channel.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Amazon.com storefront supports both English and Spanish and a large number of products can be shipped internationally. Amazon also has a number of regional storefronts that they\u2019ve spent billions on optimizing for regional markets. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-compliance-amp-staying-on-amazon-s-good-side\"><strong>Compliance &amp; Staying On Amazon\u2019s Good Side<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While we\u2019ll cover the three most common mistakes, and provide links to additional resources, it\u2019s important that you take the time to review the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/affiliate-program.amazon.com\/help\/operating\/agreement\/ref=amb_link_VsoWjwjVPtm8JeS_dR2n2Q_17?pf_rd_p=64ccb4cd-31ba-40e9-92be-94c95d237178\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amazon Associates Operating Agreement<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and the accompanying <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/affiliate-program.amazon.com\/help\/operating\/policies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Program Policies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Further, it\u2019s also important to note that we aren\u2019t lawyers and this isn\u2019t legal advice.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just remember, you can\u2019t win the game if you don\u2019t know the rules!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-stay-away-from-cloaking\"><strong>Stay Away From Cloaking<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a bit of a misnomer of a term but is often cited as the most common reason YouTubers are banned from the program.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, it\u2019s important to note Amazon absolutely allows you to use a link shortener, or a third-party tool, with your Amazon affiliate links. However, when doing so, it\u2019s important that you disclose the destination of your link. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two simple things all Amazon associates need to do: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mention-amazon\"><strong>Mention Amazon<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shopper trust is Amazon&#8217;s North Star, and that relates to its affiliate program as well. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you post Amazon affiliate links in your video descriptions using a third-party tool it\u2019s really important that you mention &#8220;Amazon&#8221; in near proximity to the link. It\u2019s essential the shopper knows where they are going when they click on that link (it can also help with conversion rates by helping the shopper better trust the link).<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-list-your-channel\"><strong>List Your Channel<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211;<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> <\/span>When you sign up as an<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Amazon affiliate for YouTube, you have to tell Amazon about the various sites and social media channels where you plan on using your Amazon affiliate links. You have to keep that list updated too. If not, do it now (and be sure not to just put \u201cyoutube.com\u201d but rather the full URL for your channel).&nbsp;There is a best practice, explored below, that simplifies this requirement.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-amazon-affiliate-marketing-and-full-disclosure\"><strong>Amazon Affiliate Marketing and Full Disclosure<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being transparent that you are promoting a product and that you can financially benefit is absolutely critical in the world of affiliate marketing, especially with the Amazon affiliate program. There are two \u201clevels\u201d at which you need to publicly state your usage of an affiliate program, Amazon\u2019s or not.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ftc-disclaimer\"><strong>FTC Disclaimer<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), has the mandate to help the average (American) shopper know when they are being advertised to. In the eyes of the FTC, being &#8220;advertised&#8221; to includes using affiliate links when you recommend products. As a result, to be in compliance with the FTC\u2019s rules you need to make your affiliate disclosure &#8220;clear&#8221; and &#8220;conspicuous.&#8221;<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A few examples include:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI may earn commissions for purchases made through the links below.\u201d<\/span><br><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf you buy something through our \u201clinks\u201d we may get a small share of the sale.\u201d<\/span><br><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cPlease know, Amazon may collect a share of sales or other compensation from the links below.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-amazon-associates-disclaimer\"><strong>Amazon Associates Disclaimer<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to the FTC disclaimer, the Amazon Affiliate program also requires you to include a notice about your relationship with Amazon. This is a standardized disclosure and simply reads:<\/span> <em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.&#8221;<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike the FTC disclosure, Amazon allows this disclosure to be a bit more buried and is okay in the About Us page on your channel.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-don-t-put-amazon-affiliate-links-in-your-videos\">Don&#8217;t put Amazon Affiliate Links in Your Videos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simply put, don\u2019t ask for clicks on your affiliate links in your videos! Don\u2019t ask for your audience to support you (via your affiliate links)! Don\u2019t ask that they bookmark your affiliate links! In fact, we encourage you not to include mentioning \u201csupport\u201d in your FTC disclosure.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amazon doesn\u2019t allow any sort of &#8220;incentivized&#8221; behavior concerning their affiliate links. It\u2019s all too easy to fall into the trap in the name of being honest and authentic with your audience, but something as simple as mentioning your page or channel is &#8220;supported&#8221; by Amazon\u2019s affiliate program or earning affiliate commissions can be enough to get you in trouble.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The worst part is that if you say one of these things in your video, and it\u2019s what Amazon\u2019s compliance team finds, your only option for staying in the program may be to delete that video and any other video that includes this language. That\u2019s a hard decision you don\u2019t want to have to make.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-amazon-affiliate-best-practices-for-youtubers\"><strong>Amazon Affiliate Best Practices For YouTubers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to start this section acknowledging that things evolve and we are all learning so any best practice today may not be a best practice tomorrow or may never have been a best practice for you. We strongly encourage you to constantly experiment and learn more about the program to figure out what works best for you.&nbsp;However, here are a handful of things we\u2019ve seen great success with.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-be-authentic\"><strong>Be Authentic<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Only recommend products that you\u2019d legitimately buy or have used is important.
