I Wanna Be An Amazon Affiliate Gazillionaire!

How you can make me an Amazon Affiliate Gazillionaire, and why you should. #AmazonGazilllionaire bit.ly/1dqXH4n

So I recently signed up to be an Amazon affiliate. Can you really call yourself a serious blogger without doing that?

I think not.

For the uninitiated, it works like this: The blogger links to products that are sold on Amazon. When someone clicks through on her link and then buys something on Amazon, the blogger collects a small — and I mean small — commission, referred to by Amazon as an ad fee. Most items result in a 4-8% or so commission. Buy a $10 book and I get a whopping 40¢.  The person buying the item doesn’t pay any more for it than she would by finding the item directly. The law requires that bloggers put an obvious notice on any page containing affiliate links to let people know that the links are, in effect, ads. That’s why you see “this post may contain affiliate links” on blog posts everywhere. My disclosure statement is here. It’s not entirely boring, promise.

When I discovered what the Amazon Affiliate commissions are I was a little disappointed. How am I supposed to get rich on 40¢ a pop? They won’t even pay you until you get a minimum of $10 in your account. But Mama needs some Botox! And a nanny! And better quality wine!

So I came up with an evil plan to become an Amazon Affiliate Gazillionaire.

All I need is for each of my glorious readers to make a couple of high-dollar purchases like this each month. In fact, if just one of you Dear Readers buys one fabulous $500,000+ painting a year, I could afford therapy AND wine. It’s a win-win for everyone. If you can’t spare that much coin, a $10,000 handbag would do. Just a reminder: All of these Amazon links are affiliate links.

This was hanging over the fireplace at my now-husband’s house when I met him. I made him get rid of it. I think we sold it at a garage sale for about $5. It seems to have appreciated quite a bit since then.

Don't we all need a little sea action on our wall? #AmazonGazillionaire Click To Tweet
