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
-
Go to affiliate-program.amazon.in (for India) or affiliate-program.amazon.com for US.
-
Sign in with your Amazon account.
-
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. 🎉
