Sell Your Physical Products
The first and most obvious way to make money on Amazon is to sell your physical products. This could mean selling something you produce yourself, something you purchase from a manufacturer, or branded merchandise like t-shirts and coffee mugs. No matter what you sell, if you offer physical products in your business, you need to get them on Amazon. There’s a whole world of hundreds of millions of customers who buy on Amazon, and many of those people, especially those with Prime memberships, hardly shop anywhere else! So, if you’re selling physical products, you owe it to yourself and your business to try selling them on Amazon.

The second opportunity to make money on Amazon is to sell your services. Amazon has a whole section where you can list your services for Amazon customers to find. This is a great opportunity to gain wider visibility for your business. Listing your services on Amazon provides an incredible advertising and marketing platform for you to get your services in front of a huge audience of customers. And it’s awesome for customers because they can compare reviews and find someone great in their local area. Win, win! There are several services eligible to list on Amazon, including plumbing, house cleaning, even grocery delivery and dog walking.

The third way that you can make money in your business is to sell your eBook, physical book, or planner that you’ve created. If you have one or more of these items to sell, Amazon is the perfect platform to help you get it in front of millions of shoppers. Amazon started off as just a book platform and has obviously grown exponentially since then; now they sell everything! But if you are an author, there is still a huge market on Amazon for you to sell your products. You can sell eBooks on the Kindle platform or use Create Space if you’ve written a book that you want people to print out. The opportunity is there, and it doesn’t require much money up front, especially if you use the print on demand service that Amazon offers.Get Paid to Test a New Design on Amazon
The fourth opportunity for you to make money on Amazon is by utilizing their Merch program. This program, which has only been around for the last couple of years, allows you to upload designs for t-shirts and sweatshirts. With how much Amazon is growing, there will likely be other items that you’ll be able to print on-demand in the near future. So, if you’re a designer, or if you have a designer on your team, and you want to test a new t-shirt saying or try out a new logo, you can literally just upload the design to your Amazon merch account. Once Amazon approves it, it goes live and people can buy it on Amazon. No upfront costs for any inventory. Your only cost is creating the design or paying someone to design it for you. Amazon then pays you a royalty for every sale, and customers can purchase shirts with your design any time they’d like. It’s a great opportunity to test out your designs and make some passive income at the same time.

The fifth and final Amazon money-making opportunity I want to tell you about is the Amazon Associates program. This is a way to earn commission on sales by becoming an affiliate of Amazon. If you are a blogger or social media influencer, or if you send customers to Amazon in any way through an affiliate link you provide, you will make a commission on whatever is purchased through that link. The awesome part of this is that, not only will you receive a commission on the product you were promoting, but also on any other products that customer buys during that transaction. A typical commission is between 4 and 10 percent depending on the volume. I really love the Amazon Associates Program because it’s great passive income once you’ve set up all your links.
