To become an Amazon affiliate, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Amazon Associates center and click the “Sign up” button.
2. Sign in with your existing Amazon account or create a new one.
3. Fill in your personal information and details about your affiliate channel.
4. Add your website, mobile app, or YouTube channel where you plan to promote Amazon products.
5. Set up your profile by creating a store ID and explaining the content and audience of your site or app.
6. Explain how you drive traffic to your site or app, including your current income sources and visitor statistics.
7. Add tax and payment information for receiving your earnings.
8. Start creating Amazon affiliate links to share products with your audience.

Note that you must have a live website or content channel with sufficient content. You also need to make at least 3 qualifying sales within 180 days of signing up to maintain your affiliate status. You can promote Amazon products on blogs, websites, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and other platforms that meet Amazon's criteria. Payments are issued monthly, typically 60 days after the earnings are made. Payment options include direct deposit, Amazon gift card, or check. This process is relatively easy, but it helps to have a clear plan on how to attract and engage your audience to succeed as an Amazon affiliate.
