Amazon Resources to make more money
Amazon is so much more than just books.
Most people think books when they think Amazon. They are so much more than books. In fact, Amazon has so many different things it can offer from books to DVD's, Electronics, and you name it.
The way it works is this lets say you are an avid hunter, you could set up a hunting website, and include hunting vests, coats, pants, boots and other related hunting items. When someone purchased something through your website then you earn a commission.
What's even better is that if someone clicks on your affiliate link via your website and decides to buy another blender instead, you'll still earn a commission on the sale.
How do you make money with Amazon?
There are many people who don’t want to be an Amazon Associate because of the commission rate being low. Maybe they aren't seeing the whole picture.
Commission Rates
Your probably not going to make much money with books because Amazon has driven down the price of books over the last 10 years.
If you were to promote a $20 DVD at a 4% commission rate that is just $.80 per DVD sold, but once you sale more than six, Amazon bumps you up to a 6% commission rate meaning you will earn $1.20 per DVD sold.
Another important thing to remember is that your cookie is only good for 24 hours before it expires. Look at it this way many people will definitely come back and order same day, and if they don’t they might be looking for your site again so they can find the right page on Amazon.
Furthermore, your cookie doesn’t just count towards the product that referred them. This means that a customer could enter Amazon through your advertisement for a bra and end up purchasing a matching underwear, you will get a commission on both items.

Of course you could always launch a webstore specifically designed for promoting Amazon products, and you will benefit greatly once you start ranking in the search engines.
Promoting products via organic search.
Yes, it is true that Amazon.com is a powerhouse. However, this works against them at times. There is no way possible for Amazon to optimize each and everyone of their pages because they have millions of pages.
This works in your favor, because often times your website can rank for particular products quite easily because it is considered fresh content.
To receive an even greater benefit, always change your titles and rewrite product descriptions. Usually several quality backlinks coupled with social bookmarks will easily get you ranking above Amazon 4 out of 5 times.
It is far too easy for a webmaster to make money with Amazon and you should always be looking for products that are related to your niche to start promoting!
