What is a Way I Can Increase My Profit Margins With Amazon?
Start with this little known tactic. Enrole with Amazon Associates affiliate program and then create affiliate links to place on your website for your own book or eBook. Each time someone clicks on one of your affiliate links and purchases your eBook you will earn some extra revenue that is above and beyond whatever you normally make when you sell your book or eBook book on Amazon.
The other benefit of this is that if the customer who buys your eBook also decides to buy additional items from the Amazon store then you will also receive a commission on these items. So in some instances someone could buy your eBook and you ultimately end up making more than what the total cost of your eBook is.
Amazon clearly states in its policies that you can't use your affiliate link for making personal purchases on Amazon. Be sure to adhere to their terms of use policy so that you never abuse their rules and run the risk of having your eBook blacklisted.
This affiliate marketing technique can also be used on many other sites. Just be sure to read their terms of use as you don't won't to be seen abusing any listed terms.
