How to get Amazon Affiliation approved - Easy

 


Step 1: Prepare Your Platform

Amazon won’t approve if you don’t have a proper place to promote links. You can use:

  • A website or blog (preferred, looks professional)

  • A YouTube channel (must have original content)

  • Mobile app (needs to be listed in Play Store/App Store)

  • Social media pages (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter – must be active and public)

Tip: If you don’t have a site, you can start a free blog (Blogger/WordPress) and post at least 10–15 quality articles.


Step 2: Apply to Amazon Associates

  1. Go to affiliate-program.amazon.in (for India) or affiliate-program.amazon.com for US.

  2. Sign in with your Amazon account.

  3. Fill details:

    • Website/YouTube/Social media links

    • Traffic sources (where visitors come from)

    • Payment details (bank account or gift card option)


Step 3: First Approval (Instant)

Amazon usually gives instant temporary approval. You can now create affiliate links and share them.


Step 4: Make 3 Qualifying Sales

Within 180 days (6 months), you must make at least 3 sales using your affiliate links.

  • Buy something yourself using your own link won’t count (they reject it).

  • Ask friends/family OR promote through your content.

  • Share links on social media, WhatsApp groups, blog posts, YouTube video descriptions.

Example: Create a “Best Phones under ₹15,000” blog post or video, add your affiliate links.


Step 5: Final Review

After you make 3 sales, Amazon team manually reviews your site/channel:

  • Must have real content (not just ads/links).

  • Shouldn’t violate policies (adult content, fake reviews, copied articles, etc).

  • If approved, you’re officially in. 🎉
