INTRODUCTION
One of the best Product Affiliate Marketing Programs that I have found on-line is Amazon Associates.
Amazon allows you to choose from millions of products to advertise to your customers. Whatever your niche or special interest is, you can find a product to market at Amazon. A great way to get started marketing Amazon Products is by building your own website and doing Product Reviews.

From my Experience:
PROS
- No Experience Needed.
- It is EASY to sign up and it is FREE to join.
- You can earn up to 10% in Commission for each product that you market and sell. That can really add up!
- Amazon’s tools to link their products to your site are very easy to use.
- Competitive Conversion Rate
- Amazon is very straightforward and dependable
- Amazon is a trusted name which will lead to more sales
- Your commission percentage increases with time and sales
- An endless amount of products to choose from to market
CONS
- It can be difficult to narrow down a niche. There are so many products. It is a good idea to target a specific set of products for your site. (ex: www.besttvsforthemoney.com) On that site, you would review TVs.
- Amazon can close your Affiliate Account if you do not make any sales for months. (not sure of the exact time on that)
- 60 days to receive payment on sales
- They will cancel you if you do not have 3 qualified sales within a 180 day period. Then, you have to re-apply to the program and then re-do all of your Affiliate Links.
WHO IT IS FOR
- No Experience Needed
- Easy to build a home based business
- Students or anyone wanting to make extra money
- People who are not afraid to create a website and try new things
