Amazon is Australia’s second-most popular ecommerce marketplace, generating over 63 million visits per month. A 2021 survey revealed that 44% of Australians made at least one purchase from Amazon in the previous 12 months.
You already know Amazon sells pretty much everything, with categories from electronics to interior decor to pantry food. As of January 2018, the number of products listed on Amazon Australia stood at 24.7 million — a number that’s almost certainly grown since then.
The company’s affiliate program is called Amazon Associates. Its commission rates vary across product categories and are regularly updated, currently ranging from just 1% on video game hardware to 12% on apparel and shoes (click here for an up-to-date list of Amazon’s Australian commission rates).
Amazon also runs frequent “bounty events” paying fixed commissions for specific actions. For instance, it’s currently offering a US$4 bounty on Amazon Prime free trials. Again, these bounty events change constantly, so check back for an up-to-date list.
As well as Amazon Associates, the ecommerce giant has a separate programfor influencers with established audiences on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and/or YouTube.
Commissions are paid monthly on a NET 60 basis via bank transfer, check, or Amazon gift certificate. Both Amazon Associates and the Amazon Influencer Program have 24-hour cookie windows.
