How to Add Amazon Associate Product Reviews in Blogger
The Amazon Associates program pays you a commission on each sale your Blogger blog generates through Amazon.com or subsidiary websites such as Endless.com. If you write product reviews on your blog, this program is a way for you generate income by referring your blog readers to a merchant that they’re already familiar with and purchase from. Apply to become a member of the Amazon Associates program and insert links to your product reviews to begin referring customers and generating sales commissions.
