Top 10 tips to help you maximize Prime Day earnings
Prime Day is right around the corner—and it could be one of your biggest earning opportunities of the year. Use these tips to delight your readers, and reap the rewards on Prime Day.
Plan and prepare
1. Create a Prime Day Hub. Create a single page with all your Prime Day recommendations. Include a description of Prime Day and your favorite promotions and deals. Whenever you post content about Prime Day, be sure to drive traffic to your Hub to maximize your earnings.
2. Promote Amazon Prime membership. Your audience will need an Amazon Prime membership to take advantage of all Prime Day deals, so promoting Prime should be a key part of your prep strategy now. Remember, you earn a $3 bounty (fixed commission) with every free trial sign-up.
3. Set up notifications to get the latest deals. Prime Day will feature more than two million deals globally, and they move fast. Set up notifications on the Amazon mobile app and quickly add links to the products you know your readers will love in your recommendations. Or just ask Alexa, “Keep me updated on Prime Day.”
4. Identify your audience’s interests in advance. Review past events, promotions, and deals to identify what your audience will love. Consider trending categories like devices, toys, beauty, home and services like Prime Video. Check out your audience purchases on Amazon in your earnings report on Associates Central. Don’t forget to head over to Idea Hub to browse customer most loved, best sellers, bounties and real-time deals.
