[00:01] from zero subscribers in the first day. Amazon's affiliate program is one of the easiest ways which you can apply for very easily. I am going to show that process further. And

[00:14] So let's start this video. If you want to see the process directly, First, let me give you a basic overview of what affiliate marketing is. Now let me explain it to you in simple language. Let's assume this

[00:27] is a watch. Ok? I am telling you all that I used this watch, reviewed it and it is is in the description. You can go and buy it from Amazon. Now if you buy this watch from that link, then each product category has a different percentage.

[00:41] Any percentage between one and five is what you get as a referral. So basically if this watch is worth Rs 1000. So if I am going to get 5% commission on this watch, then

[00:53] when you buy this watch, I will get around ₹50 as a commission. So in this way you can start earning. There is no requirement of any minimum subscribers for this. Don't need anything. Yes,

[01:08] thing that many people don't know is that it's not just this watch, if you go through my link and buy 10 other things along with this watch, I get commission on those too. Ok? Now let's go directly to the process.

[01:22] So what do you need to do first ? You will have to create an account on Amazon. As soon as you login, you will see this basic Amazon. You will reach the website page. You simply have to scroll to the bottom. And this Make Money With Us

[01:37] section, here you will see the option of Become an Affiliate in the center. Simply also put its direct link in the description. You can go and check. And yes, one more thing, if you want to create this account from your phone , just open Google Chrome or

[01:50] any web browser. In that, you will get the option of desktop site by going to the option. Select that. You will see all these options. Ok? Now here, whenever you open this web page, you will see the sign up option at the top.

[02:02] Click here. So here first of all you can see your account information, this web page has opened. Now here the first question we ask is to go home should we issue payments? This means that you will have to enter your name and address details here.

[02:16] One of my details is entered here. I will do Select Different Address. I Now when you open it here, it will first ask for the payee name. What is a payee name ? It is also written here: Enter the name exactly as it appears in the bank

[02:29] account. So, the bank account which is in your name, in the name of any of your relatives, in the name of any friend, you will have to enter the full name of that account here. So I have written my name here. Next is address lines one two and three. You will see a red dot on one.

[02:42] Meaning, wherever there is a red dot, it is compulsory. You will have to put it in. You can leave the rest of the things. So I put a1 2 for example. There is no address. You might reach here somewhere. Whatever is your city, please enter it. This is compulsory.

[02:54] You can enter the state. You will have to enter the postal code. Whatever is the zip code, like Noida 's is 2001301, similarly whatever is the zip code of your city or your area, you can enter it here. After that the country is India only, it is selected by default.

[03:07] After that your phone number will appear. So do not enter any phone number that you are using for communication. phone number that you are using for communication. you will see the option Who is the main contact for this account? The payee

[03:20] listed above is someone else I need to enter their information, meaning the account of the name you have entered above their information, meaning the account of the name you have entered above information, so if you are creating it for someone else then you will have to enter their name and number,

[03:35] but mostly I think you will create it for yourself, so you have to select the first option. Then after that you will be asked whether you are a US person for US tax purposes. If yes, then select yes but you will have to select no. Then we

[03:47] move on to the next one. Now many people get confused here because what Amazon is asking you is to what Amazon is asking you is to no website. We create a YouTube channel. So brother, you have to put the YouTube channel in this website

[04:01] section here. So what do you do? Go to your YouTube channel. this is my channel, the link that comes in the Google browser above, copy it directly from here, then go back to the Amazon page and paste it

[04:14] and add it, all you have to do is doing it for multiple channels then it is multiple but in the beginning enter only one channel and do this, it is not necessary to fill the second section, click on next, yes if you have

[04:29] enter that website, but I am assuming that you are going to do it on the YouTube channel, now after this you will come to the next tab where there is a profile section. Ok? What is the first question you are asking? What is your Preferred Associate Associate Store ID?

[04:43] Basically what do you need a store ID for? If you have some preference like I told you Kunal Malhotra KM did it. Kunal Malhotra I don't think so. Kunal Malhotra KM or whatever your

[04:56] name is, add some numbers or any combination you want. Basically it is asking like asks you what ID you want to keep, here it is asking what ID you want, so I entered this. Ok? Next is What Are Your Websites and Mobile Apps About. Now

[05:10] Now there are two ways to do this. Or if you have already created your channel and something is written in the about section in the description, like I have written this, then I will directly copy it and

[05:24] paste it here. If it is not written, please describe a little about which topic you write about that. If you make food videos then write that. Ok? It's simple. Write it in one or two lines. Don't complicate it too much. I did all this. After that it will ask what type

[05:37] of your website? Then after that it will ask what type are your website and mobile app. And now you will not see YouTube here. So there are two options and both will work. You can either select Other or select a social media page or group.

[05:52] That also falls under the YouTube category. So I'm can select this. The last option is How Did You Hear Write anything. Wherever I heard it from. What will you do if you hear it from me ? Do it through word of mouth.

[06:06] Ok? It doesn't make any difference. After that do you agree to the terms and conditions? read it. Amazon is a little strict about these things. Tick ​​this. After that you just have to click on Finish. Now as soon as you click on Finish, it will appear

[06:19] written here. Thank you for applying. Now, my associate ID, the one I wanted, Kunal Malhotra, was not available, so he randomly generated something and gave me this ID. Ok? So after this there is a lot of things below. Many people miss it.

[06:33] Enter your payment and tax information. When the money comes, you will need the money in your account. Do you want to do it now or later? If you want to do it later, you can do it later. I'm just will click on Now. So here you will be asked about your payment method and only one option

[06:48] is coming here Pay Me by NEFT000 minimum earning means there should be minimum ₹1000 only then that NEFT bank transaction will happen, so this small circle will be visible here, check it, now obviously it will ask you for bank details, location of currency

[07:01] will be selected as India, after that bank account holder name, in whatever name the bank account is, whether it is yours or of your family member, enter that full name, enter the full bank account number, you will have to enter the bank name, now here you will have to confirm the account number again.

[07:15] So the account number will appear twice along with the IFSC code. These are basic bank details which are used on every payment platform. After entering all this, when it is completed, you have to click on submit and your bank

[07:28] submitted. Now comes the next step where you have to fill your PAN and GST Without this you basically will not be able to do anything further. So the first option is whether you are a business or an individual. If you have GST then select business. If not,

[07:42] Now here is What is your legal name? You will have to enter the name used in your PAN here. Then after that your country is already selected. PAN number will appear here. Provide MSME D ID, this is related to the business.

[07:57] If you don't have this then avoid it. Optional is written. GST number is also optional, so you have that too. Pour out Otherwise skip it. Your full name will appear here. after doing all this, you have to directly click on submit. And that's it. So

[08:11] after doing all this, finally you will see the website page of Amazon Associates like this. Even if you do n't see me, I will tell you how to come. So this is your dashboard. which you can see here. All the details are there. So right now it is at zero. You wo

[08:25] show you my details later. Ok? So now the question arises how to create a link? And there are many steps here. Look carefully. Now they have changed it a bit. There are three lines in the top right. Click here. You will see different options.

[08:37] So from here you have to go to the tools option and side stripe will be the first option you will see. Click here. Now what happens is that it will be visible like this at the top of your Amazon page. Now when you open your Amazon account,

[08:50] you will see a strip like this above which says Influencer and Associates sites. how do you copy the link? So what do you have to do here? Let's assume any product is Osmo Pocket Three which you can see here in this way. Firstly, you will

[09:05] see the category at the top. What is the commission? Is 5%. Meaning, if you sell a camera worth Rs 60,000, you will get a direct commission of Rs 3,000. Ok ? So how to get the link from here? Now a If you see the videos of earlier times, there was a different process. It is different now.

[09:19] Click on the get link. In this way you will see the option here. High will already be selected. What do you have to do? Right click and copy. Turn it to control C. Now you can copy this link and use it anywhere on YouTube, use it on your Instagram.

[09:32] With this you can start earning. Now let me show you my dashboard. And to go to the dashboard, you have to click on the top side step, Click here. There is an option for earnings. Select it here. So now

[09:45] here you can see my earnings of last one month which has luckily crossed Rs 1 lakh. So look, here you will see a graph. How much earning has been done every day? You can see 3000 4000. Now I will tell you further things about it. But sometimes it

[09:59] is 2000, sometimes it is also 1000. The latest recent sale was going on so sharing it with you transparently. Because look, when objective was to help all the new YouTube creators so that

[10:13] they can become financially strong and also improve fundamentally. So that's why I can show these things transparently. I do n't know whether it is allowed or not. But anyways okay? So here you can see what is the total earning? Around Rs

[10:25] 25 lakh worth of sales have been made on which a revenue of Rs 1 lakh has been generated. How many orders have been placed details, the basic things that you can see here. And I will not go into details of how to read the data, you will understand it yourself after seeing it. Ok?

[10:39] Yes, one more thing many people will ask is how much commission is given on what thing. So I will show you this screenshot here. Like mobile, there is 1% on many mobiles. You will see all the categories like 4%, 3%, 5% on any electronics here. Ok

[10:53] ? Let me clear one thing upfront. First of all, have you reached the end? These earnings that I am showing you have happened after 8 years. Ok? So keep that thing in mind. You cannot expect it in two-three months. You will

[11:06] not get that much revenue in the first year. Because this is a compound effect. Made one video, n't know, I have made more than 2000 videos. Then I am able to get so much revenue. So here's the quantity is it's it's all about quantity. The more videos you make,

[11:20] the more chances there are of your link getting clicked. The more reviews you create, the better the conversion will be. So this is Amazon Affiliate. Hopefully you but I wanted to make a detailed video. I am not making these videos just for views. I
