Hey guys!

So I recently found a potentially great way to earn with amazon affiliate without a website. But I first need to get approved by them. I signed up and got my first commission, but they rejected me, saying I cannot list websites like facebook or reddit as my own.

So my question is, what is the easiest possible way to get approved? Do I need to have my own website and write content on it? Is there a wordpress template which I can use to get approved quickly?

Thanks!

You can create a simple one-page website, list a couple of low-item products on it, run ads to get traffic, and generate 3 sales for your affiliate account to get approved & working. Probably the fastest method.

On a side note, be very aware of what strategy you are going to use to promote Amazon without a website. Their T&C is quite strict.
 
I did not understand the logic of the Amazon - they generally allow you to make money using Facebook and Reddit, but to do this you must first get approval with your personal website?
 
Get your friends to buy from your site.

You have to unfriend them from social media and other places to do that, else there is a chance of getting your account banned, a small one, but still a chance.

Why need to generate 3 sales to approval? is that true? I heard that to get API we need to generate 3 sales, not for approval. What is the correct thing

Yes, you are correct. My bad, I misunderstood.

You don't need to get 3 sales to get approval but to keep your account active, you need 3 sales within the first 180 days.

Coming back to OP's question, Amazon's guidelines recommend these four things for the best chances of getting approval:

1. You must own your website
2. A minimum of 10 posts
3. The website should be publicly available (for example, they should not be a closed group, or behind a paywall)
4. Content on your website must be recent (generally within the last 60 days)

.
 
OP just copy any amazon affiliate site and change the content with a unique one and you are good to go.
 
Because Amazon does want you to spam fb and reddit with your affiliate links.
 
They approved me at first attempt. May be you can also try blogger blogs to get approval (heard somewhere, never tried)
 
Set up a blogger blog add a some posts first before applying don't ever mention reddit in your list.

Thank you for the clarification. Following these 4 steps.
 
Thanks for the replies guys. I will try to make a dummy affiliate site just for approval purposes.

The method I plan to do is to establish myself as an expert in a niche on reddit and fb groups, then recommend them what to buy on amazon. Not going to spam. Basically 100% whitehat (I think).

Any tips to approve the merchant account by Amazon?
 
Just create a multi link website for ig (linktree, campsite, etc). I got approved just with this
