So at the end of the day, it is like cash now obviously with this one no skills required just the products that you're going to be trading in on Google you can type in Amazon trade store or you can click the link in the description this is what the landing page will look like and they have it separated into different categories.

You can also use this plus button to find a specific item you have I searched up Chrome book click on the specific item you have and here it'll just take you through to ask you a few questions about at automatically it will give you an estimate about how much you would get for this device once they inspected they'll give you a precise price you click here. 

Whether you want them to return it for free or accept whatever price they end up giving you continue to accept or decline the offer by clicking cancel then you'll be redirected to this summary page where you will review all the terms conditions and actually confirm the trade where there will take you to a page where you can print the label.

So you can ship your item to them for free with this method the amount of money you will make depends on the items that you have to trade in and it also depends on how good of a condition these items are number 2on this list is Kindle direct publishing it used to be that traditional publishing was the only way to go.

                                                       

 If you wanted to write and publish a book but now with Amazon's KDP you can write and publish an e-book upload it to Amazon and it will be live on the Amazon store within 24 to 48 hours a good skill to have for this method to work is to be a great writer but don't count yourself out.

If you don't consider yourself to be one for the one you can learn this skill you can practice and over time get better at writing so that you're able to share a message via your books but you can also hire other people to write the books for you maybe you can just write the outline tell them what you want in this book what the message you want to convey and they will write it for you.

 Also, you can find people on Fiverr or Upwork or other sites where you can hire people and they can write the book for you you can use KDP to build an author brand in a book based business-like Steve Scott has done but you can also use Kindle direct publishing like project life mastery has done he hires ghostwriters to write his books and that's how he makes a living well he has many other revenue streams but that's one of the way to get started publishing your ebooks you'll have to create a Kindle direct publishing account I already have one.

So I'm going to go ahead and sign in once you create your account you can log into a dashboard that looks like this more or less several books here but yours will be empty when you're just getting started you just click on add title whether you want to do an e-book or a paperback so let's go with eBook for now, then you'll be brought to this page where you fill out all of this information about your book title author name the description of your book keywords for people to be able to find your book category.

So many other things so just go through this whole process of answering all these questions and once you've submitted everything they will look over it confirm that everything is good to go and publish your book and have it live on the Amazon store the amount of money you're going to make with your books on KDP really depends on the size of your books how much you price your books. 

                                                                 

Also if you are going to publish exclusively with Amazon that also has something to do with it also amazon has Kindle unlimited which is a membership where people pay like $10 a month or something like that for them to be able  to read an unlimited amount of books in a month and authors get paid per page read from those people who are reading these unlimited books.

So that also adds to your revenue also once you have your ebook live and ready to go on Amazon you can easily convert that into a paperback book a physical book that you can sell and make even more money from you can also convert that physical book into an audiobook and make more money onaudible.com so this is also like a three-in-one making it a very lucrative way for you to make money.

If you're consistent uploading books number three is for the artistic and creative folks out there its merged by Amazon this is a print on demand service that amazon offers t-shirts are something that everybody wears no matter what part of the world you're from t-shirts are a staple in anybody's wardrobe.

But when they're a trendy design on the t-shirt it's even better and that's basically what merch by Amazon is you bring the design to the table you upload it to Amazon and they take care of the rest for you this is similar to KDP of course having a graphic design background or knowing how to design graphics is a huge plus.

But you don't have to know that just yet you can learn this skill by taking classes online on sites like Skillshare and u demy or even watching lots of YouTube videos or you can research and brainstorm different designs that you know will be trendy and will sell well on Amazon and then hire a graphic designer from Fiverr or Upwork to do the design for you each by Amazon is via invitation only.

So you have to come to this page here scroll down and click on this blue box here to request your invitation once they have an open spot for you they will email you letting you know that you've been accepted once you've been accepted you can log into the dashboard that looks like this as you see right here it says tier 25.

                                                         

So you'll get started with 25different designs once you've sold 25t-shirts you'll go on to the next tier which is I think a hundred different designs as with everything that we're talking about today it's all a numbers game the more you do the more chances you have of making sales and actually making a decent amount of money.

So I started this account long years ago and I just uploaded some designs and never really came back to it there's never really interested me but if you're apt for fashion and graphic this may be something you'd like to fill in the different details on the colors the listing price and then just keep uploading as often as you can royalties for your t-shirt designs are really going to depend on what you're selling whether it's short sleeves long sleeves hoodies tank tops it just depends.

 So  when  you work on Amazon you could a better idea about how much you'd be making per item and I'm pretty sure that this works similar to KDP you get paid via direct deposit or check around the 29th of each month. So merch by Amazon can really be treated as a hobby to make some extra cash here and there or it can be treated like a legit business where you put your all into it study profitable niches find out which designs are trendy and which ones sell the most.

Just study the game next up is to become an Amazon associate or an Amazon influencer put simply what this means is that you're going to partner up with Amazon linked to one of their many products that they have available on their store and you'll get a commission for bringing traffic to their store skills you won't eat for this method really just depends on what you want to do where you want to build a platform or build an audience.

If you're a great writer, you can build a blog and then promote products that relate to the topics you're writing about if you are good with people you like communication you like the interaction you like photography type things you can build an audience on Instagram and Facebook and then promote the products that you like that relate to the topics you're talking about basically, you need to find a platform that works well with the skills you already have where you can upload content consistently and promote products consistently.

                                                   

So that you can make a decent revenue with the Amazon Associates slash influencer method to get started icon join now for free you just fill out all the information here's the different steps you're going to have to take you're going to have to give them a list of the websites that you're going to be promoting their products on and then just fill out some other general things. Later I will write a complete step-by-step post on how to fill out this application.

 So make sure to go check it out but basically, they just want to make sure that you're working together is a good idea that you're the right fit for them and they want to know where you will be promoting their products.

So once you're done filling out this information it's just all about waiting to see if you're approved with the influence program you'll be going to this page you'll click get started and here you will fill out a similar application, they're both the same thing except with Amazon influencers you'll get your own page where you will be linking the products. 

You have a special link to send people to whereas with associates you'll be linking each product individually so ideally with this method you want to have an established site like a YouTube channel a website or any other social media kind of page.

But don't assume that just because you have a small following you won't be accepted just try it just go on there fill out the information and they will let you know if you do get approved or not in a couple of days or a week or so and if you don't get through you can always try again later.

 So don't discount it just because you think that the online presence that you have is too small just try it I've heard of people with large followings get rejected and people with small followings get approved I guess it just depends on who's reviewing your application I really don't know how it works all.

 I know is that you've got to just try it and see once you do get approved you'll be able to create special links for the products that you want to recommend from Amazon and when someone clicks on your special link you will get a commission if they buy that product or if they buy anything else on the website for the next 24 hours you'll get a commission for it it doesn't matter if they end up buying the product that you recommend it in the first place your link got them to the store.

                                                         

So anything they buy you will get a commission for and commissions really depends on what department they bought from different departments have different commission rates so I will leave all that information linked down below and also make sure to check out the video that I told you about it explains all of this in much more detail. 

But with this method, you will get paid via direct deposit or with a cheque depending on how you want it you can also get paid with gift cards and you'll be paid on the monthly basis number five on the list is retail arbitrage and retail arbitrage basically means that you find good deals at stores and then you sell them for a profit online in this case Amazon this is something that I've never tried on Amazon.

But I think Posh mark is kind of like it. I buy items at stores some times at department stores and sell them for a profit online the skills you need for this method are very learnable basically you need to figure out what products are selling like hotcakes on Amazon then figure out where to get these kinds of products and then you need to figure out how to get good deals on these what coupons you can use what discounts you can apply for at these department stores and basically just study the system you probably already have an Amazon regular account.

So for retail arbitrage you're going to have to sign up for an Amazon seller account as well and this is the page you will come to do so you click sign up here and fill out all the information that they ask for as you can see here, it's $40 a month plus selling fee so they charge you for letting you use their customer database and they will also pack and ship everything for you.

So it costs money but if you're just getting started you can avoid this fee just keep scrolling down and then you'll see here you can sign up for an individual seller account which is totally free and this may be a better route for you to get started and eventually you can move on to the pro account once your account is set up you're going to want to go to your local stores your local grocery stores and look through their clearance items and find cheap stuff that you can then flip for a profit on Amazon.

                                                     

Now Amazon is going to provide you with different tools like their Amazon seller app just  so that you can do your research and know what it's selling how much it's selling for but there are also many other apps that people have created to help people who want to join this type of business there's also forums and Facebook groups.

Also YouTube videos just do a little google digging if you want to get into this Lane of making money online with amazon and again the amount of money you're going to make with this method really just depends because amazon takes out different cuts from different items depending on what it is so it depends on what you're selling it depends on how often you're listing new items it depends on how well they sell.

So just do your research to find out all this different information again I left a ton of resources down in the description so check those out now on to the disclaimers the advise slash tips that I have for you the first thing is that you need to start with just one method it's going to be in benefit.

 So tempting that once you get started you want to continue and start exploring all the other methods but that are the biggest mistake that I did, in the beginning, I took on way too many things at once and then I got overwhelmed and gave up with everything.

So if you don't want that to happen to you make sure that you explore one method of making money online with amazon stick with it study it and then once you master it and you've got things going a bit you can add on something else.

 so that you can have different revenue streams but I always start with just one, so that you don't get too overwhelmed and give up the second thing is that it's going to take a whole lot more than just one it's gonna take a lot of book sit's  going to take a lot of shirts a lot of blogs posts where you recommend Amazon products to get commissions. 

I was so naive when I just got started I thought that once I published my first book I was going to be set and I was gonna gain some momentum and start making money but I was so wrong it's going to take a lot of trial and error it's gonna take a lot of consistency you're going to have to publish multiple things whether that shirts books blog posts before you start seeing some momentum.

                                                   

So give it some time take the action to analyze the results you're regretting from it make some adjustments and keep at it eventually you will start seeing the results this is like planting a seed where you want a big tree to grow you're gonna have to plant the seed you're gonna have to tend to it and water it for a long time before you start seeing it grow.

But once it grows it starts going pretty fast and it provides you shade for a lifetime and that's what I explained in this post right here the three truths that every beginner must know.
