Affiliate marketing programs like Amazon Affiliate have become much more popular over the past few years, as they take the payment model from pay-per-click to cost-per-acquisition (CPA). This means you can refer as many users to an advertiser’s product as you want, but will only get paid when the user makes a purchase.

Both advertisers and publishers benefit from an affiliate marketing setup. The advertiser pays nothing until a sale is made and the publisher enjoys much higher commissions than the pay-per-click model.

The Amazon Affiliate program is the perfect fit for an entertainment blog, especially when you are just getting started. The program is extremely easy to integrate into your blog and you are not going to have any difficulty finding products that you want to link to. It’s Amazon, after all, and they carry pretty much everything.

When you link to a product on Amazon and you are part of the program, you get a small commission if your readers buy the product. Blog audiences expect links to products. The links you provide make it much easier to find the product you are writing about and if you are recommending the product, your readers are probably going to want to buy it. Once they do, you get paid. It’s not a lot, but it can add up as your popularity increases.

Many entertainment bloggers start with the Amazon Affiliate program and stay with it for years. It might pay out a few dollars a month for a small blog, but when the blog grows in traffic and many purchases are being made, the amount can increase to thousands of dollars a month.
