Make Money From Amazon - Part 3

8. Join Mechanical Turk




This might sound like some kind of weird video game, but Mechanical Turk is an Amazon service platform where people can post work requests for specific prices. Think of it like Fiverr, Task Rabbit or Craigslist. Each task is called a HIT, or Human Intelligence Task. You can complete these tasks from home and in your own time. Some tasks include opinion surveys, transcriptions and data entry gigs. How much you make will depend on which tasks you accept and how much time they take. You’ll see a pay estimate before you begin, so you can gauge if a task is worth it.
If you know what you’re doing and the best HITs to take, you can make decent extra cash. You can accept gigs which average out at £10 an hour. The benefits are the flexibility the platform offers as well as you get paid in cash, not gift cards or credits like other survey sites Ultimately, it’s a great way to make money through Amazon without having to sell physical products

9. Apply to Amazon Handmade





  • Consider Amazon Handmade. It’s a platform for artists to sell their own products. You have to apply so Amazon can confirm all your goods are, in fact, made by hand by you or one of your 20 or fewer employees. Here’s what you need to know before signing up.
  • If you sell under Amazon’s individual selling plan, you’ll need to upgrade to the £25-per-month professional plan to sell under Handmade. You might be eligible for a free professional selling plan if you sell primarily handmade products and no more than 40 non-handmade products a month.
  • .Amazon charges a 15% referral fee (at minimum £1) per item sold
  • Handmade products don’t show up in Amazon’s main search results. Customers have to click over to the handmade category on the site. Approval to Amazon Handmade can take up to a week, according to Amazon customer support responses to online inquiries.




10. Sell Your T-Shirt Designs




If you’ve got a creative streak — or know a catchy pun or two — consider putting your designs on T-shirts and selling them through Merch by Amazon. You’ll upload your T-shirt designs to Merch, choose a product type and colour (e.g., a lavender T-shirt), set your price, then add a product description. Amazon creates a product page. When customers buy your designed shirt, you don’t have to worry about production, shipping or customer service. You’ll also be able to set your own prices, and you’ll earn a royalty each time a product is sold. For example, if you set your standard T-shirt price to £15.99, you’ll earn a £2.21 royalty, according to the rates set as of Jan. 30, 2019. It is possible to earn more than £11,400 per annum through Merch. One of the keys, is to spend time researching what kind of T-shirts people want, for example Halloween T-shirts. Similar to Handmade, you’ll have to be considered as an applicant based on your background and experience. However a warning, the market has since become oversaturated, so it might take some patience.





11. Link up With Amazon’s Influencer Program




Always wanted to be a social influencer? Well, Amazon has a program for that. (Of course!) Here’s how the Amazon Influencer program works: You create a page on Amazon and recommend products to your followers. When followers purchase a product, you can earn money. Really, it’s similar to the affiliate program, but you’ll use a “vanity” URL, one that’s easy to remember.
The idea is to share this URL across your social media platforms and accounts. The vanity URL makes it easier to share on Instagram, for example, where you can’t post an active link in captions.
To qualify for the influencer program CHECK Affilate link)??, at minimum, you’ll need a YouTube, Instagram, Twitter or Facebook account. Amazon will look at the number of followers you have, your engagement metrics and the type of content you post to determine whether you’re a fit.
