Hi nice article.
Great post Loretta,
Honestly, I’m surprised seeing a lot of things that Amazon do on this post. Initially, I thought it’s only has the kindle, physical products, FBA, createspace, and affiliate platform.
This goes to show once again that there are several opportunities one can easily leverage to make money on the internet. Once you are not lazy, and you are ready to put in the necessary work, the opportunities are insanely endless.
Amazon is indeed a very wonderful marketplace with lots of great and unbelievable opportunities for bloggers, writers, and marketers at all level. Once you are doing any form of business on the internet, does not really matter what area you are into, you will definitely find a good opportunity to make money from Amazon.
I’m sure this post will show a lot of folks how to tap into the enormous money making chances in Amazon and create a business for themselves on the internet.
Thanks a lot for sharing, and do have a super weekend.
BTW: I think you should really look into this your social sharing buttons on mobile, it’s typically covering a lot of space on mobile, and it’s kinda annoying.
Thanks for the great comment ~ and thanks for letting me know about the buttons on mobile. They were supposed to resize and be smaller, but they definitely seem huge over on mobile! 😮 I’ll definitely look into fixing that.
Hi Loretta,
Nice article. Is the payment method safe from amazon affiliate?
Amazon offers a few payment options from their affiliate program, all very good options and safe to receive. You can even be paid via Amazon Gift Certificate.
