Amazon Associates: prepare your channel before opening an account

Amazon Associates can work well for product-focused content, but it makes more sense to sign up once you have content and a realistic plan for earning your first qualifying sales.

Before you sign up

Cost$0
ChannelsEligible website and social channels
Review periodFirst qualifying sales
DisclosureRequired

Amazon reviews the quality and status of the channels you submit. If you do not yet have public content or an established audience, build that presence first and sign up later.

What your preparation should cover

  1. Publish enough original content on the site or social channel you plan to submit.
  2. Make sure the account or page is public and has a clear topic.
  3. Decide which products you would recommend and why they would be useful to your audience.
  4. Read the rules for special links and affiliate disclosures.
  5. Sign up when you are actually ready to work toward your first qualifying sales.

What to check in Amazon before acting

Commissions

Rates and caps vary by category. Check the current rate table.

Payouts

Check the payout method, threshold, and schedule in your account because they can change.

Fiscalidad

Check the tax documents required for Mexico directly in the portal.

When the time is right

Emprende will switch to our trackable link only after registration and after we meet Amazon’s rules. For now, we link only to the official portal.

CONTENT FIRST

Do not open an account just because the program exists. Open it when you are ready to use it well.
