I'm back in the class of SLC-S21W2: Creating an Amazon Affiliate Account & Adding Affiliate Links to Your Blog by @hamzayousafzai. in the first edition I still have many shortcomings. And this time, the first thing I did was to improve the layout and Thema of my blog account.

As previously taught that to improve the layout and theme done is to download the latest file provided by @hamzayousafzai, then return to the home page. Select thema then Customize, Restore, upload the extracted rar file. Then we just have to see the results

Creating an Amazon Affiliate Account

To create an Amazon Affiliate account, the first thing we have to do is open the Google browser and type Amazon Affiliate Program.

After the Amazon Affiliate page opens, then we look for the Sign Up menu in the middle of the page. After we click Sign Up, we will see another page for us to fill in the requested information.

Then what we have to do next is register our Amazon Affiliate account by filling in information in the form of name, email address and password that will be used when the Amazon Affiliate account is registered. (Password at least 6 different characters to make it more valid) Then don't forget to press Create your Amazon account.

Then we will be asked to fill in the OTP code that has been sent to the email address that we have filled in. And the results are as shown below

Creating your Amazon Associates Account

We have entered the final stage of creating your Amazon Associates Account. There are four more steps, namely Account Information, List of Websites and mobile applications and profiles.

In filling in the four data we must be very careful, I suggest to look back at the video tutorials that have been given by the tutor

Account Information

In this section we are asked to fill in the payee's name, complete residential address. Then the postal code, country and phone number. Don't forget to choose one main contact. Finally, don't forget to click next below on the right.

List of Websites and Mobile Apps

Before filling in our blog name. It is necessary to read the instructions first i.e. List all the top-level websites and/or mobile apps where you plan to display banners, widgets, Custom Links or other ads from Amazon Associates. You need to add at least one website or mobile app. You can add up to websites or mobile apps. Next hit the following that is in the bottom send. At the bottom don't forget to select no on Are any of the traffic sources listed above directed primarily to children under the age of 13?

Profile

The next step is to fill out the profile. What you're asked to do is what Association Store ID you want, tell us about the content we create. Choose the one that best describes our content, check the captcha, click You agree to the terms and conditions of the Affiliate Program Operational Agreement and finally click complete.

Finally the Amazon.com Affiliate Program has been successfully registered. I got a unique Association ID which is muammar607-20. Has it been completed yet. One more step is to enter your payment and tax information. There are two options now or later. I choose now to complete today's task

Adding Amazon Affiliate Links to Your Blog

Once the affiliate account is complete, next go to Payment and Tax Information. After clicking next, it will be asked to log in by entering a password. If we forget the password then we can choose to forget the password. Next, it will be sent to our email. To change the password

After that go back to amazon kun. We click sigh in and are asked to enter a cellphone number so that an OTP number can be sent. After that it will go to your payment method page

Here's a look at the tax payment method page.

Register Products on Your Blog

The first step in listing amazon products to our blog is to look for products according to the theme that we will use. I will look for items that focus on car accessories. After the amazon page opens, at the top of the right side there is a link that we must click and take the address

The next step is to go to the blog page and click on new post. Next as instructed to Switch to HTML View

After the new page opens and is already in HTML mode. Then, check the second line where it says “View at Amazon”. We edit the writing with “Buy Now”, then next to View at Amazon there is the writing “Javascript”. Here we also eliminate it and add the affiliate product amzone account likn that we copied earlier.

Then we return to the writing view mode. The first thing to do is write a title (as stated on the site), then write product details, don't forget to add photos by clicking the photo symbol then we will enter the gallery on the laptop. After that, wait a few moments waiting for all the photos to enter.

After that, click publish in the upper right corner, and a notification will appear to confirm the publication. After everything is done, we click publish and don't forget to click conform. The product that we entered is immediately visible in our blog view. This method is the same as in the SLC-S21W1 guide

Define My Niche

My main focus in this blog is automotive related. Because the world of the automotive industry, especially cars, is growing very rapidly. Cars with the latest brands always come out every year. That way the market opportunity for car accessories is very promising.

Car accessories are not only to beautify your car, but for people car accessories are an important part that must be owned and updated. Well with that condition, of course, it will be very wide open to the benefits of running a business selling car accessories.

Selling car accessories products on amazon is very promising. Diverse choices for consumers who certainly have a larger share. With unique results and affordable prices

Register My Blog on Google Search Console

To register our blog the step to do is type Google Search Console in the google brouser. Next click start now. Then the patch will be like the photo below. Oh yes, Google Search Console is a free platform for website owners to monitor how the website is performing in the organic realm of Google.
