The Simple Secret to Promoting Amazon Services

If you are an Amazon Affiliate, you know that most products pay you a small percentage of the sale. If someone buys a $10 book, you get about 45 cents. To earn real money, you need to sell thousands of products.

But there is a better way to get paid: promoting Amazon’s Services.

Amazon pays you a fixed, flat fee—often called a "bounty"—just for getting someone to sign up for a free trial of a service like Prime or Audible. This single payment can be worth far more than the commission from a small product sale.

This guide reveals how to find these high-value offers and shows you a plan to promote them for maximum income.

The Power of the Fixed Bounty

Most Associates only think about the standard product commissions (the 1% to 10% rates). The bounty programs are your path to making quick, large payments.

What is a Bounty?

A bounty is a single, guaranteed payment you get when a customer completes a specific action, like signing up for a free trial or joining a service. The fee does not depend on the product price.

The math is clear: getting one person to sign up for a free trial is much easier and often more profitable than getting ten people to buy low-cost items.

Your 3-Step Plan to Promote Services

Using bounties requires a different approach than writing product reviews. Here is the best way to earn money with Amazon Services:

Step 1: Find the Need, Not the Product

With a product, you wait for a customer to be in a shopping mood. With a service, you look for a life event or a problem they need solved right now.

• Wrong Product Focus: “Buy this book for your next vacation.” (Low conversion.)
• Right Service Focus: “Before your next long trip, download 3 free audiobooks and 10 Prime movies for the plane.” (High conversion for Audible/Prime Video.)

You are offering a solution to a problem they already have (boredom, need for music, need for fast shipping).

Step 2: Create a Dedicated "Service Guide" Page

Never bury a high-value bounty link inside a product review. Give it its own space where you can focus the customer's attention.

Create a page titled something like: "7 Free Amazon Services Every Customer Should Use."

On this page, you can dedicate a section to each high-payout bounty (Prime, Audible, Kindle, Amazon Business). This focuses the reader only on the benefit of the free sign-up, not the risk of spending money.

• Example Post Idea: Write about Amazon Business accounts. A customer only needs to sign up (for free) to get a business account, and you get a flat fee—often around $15 or more. This is an easy sign-up if your audience is business-focused.

Step 3: Use the Best Tool (The Banners)

Amazon provides specific banners and links just for bounty programs. You should use them!

These banners have a high click rate because they look professional and quickly tell the customer what they are signing up for (e.g., "Start Your 30-Day Free Trial").

• Where to Use Banners: Place these service banners in your site's sidebar or header on your most popular pages.
• Why it Works: Even if a person visits your blog looking for a shoe review, they may still notice the Prime Free Trial banner in your sidebar and click it. Since your website is visible on many pages, this banner becomes a constant source of passive income.

Final Tip: Stack Your Earnings

The best part about promoting Amazon Services is that the earnings stack up with your product sales.

If a reader clicks your Audible link (earning you $5.00) and then buys a new pair of headphones during their free Prime trial, you get two commissions:

1. The flat fee for the Audible sign-up.
2. The commission percentage from the headphone purchase.

Focusing on these high-value bounties puts you on track to build a smarter, more reliable income stream. With the right strategy, it's even possible to create additional streams.
