- TikTok Create short, interesting product demonstration videos. Add your affiliate link in your bio or point users to your Linktree. Use trending sounds and hashtags to boost your chances of attaining a wider audience.

Chat GPT & AI apps - Use AI to brainstorm content ideas, or write out captions and descriptions.Step 6: Stay Consistent and Track Your Results
There’s no magic formula for making money with Amazon products on social media: success is attainable, but it takes discipline. When I first started using Instagram to promote Amazon products, I made a lot of mistakes — frankly, I spent a few months doing it wrong. I had no idea what a conversion was; I thought a click-through was a click-through, I had no idea what “impressions” were and I was too busy shouting links on social media advise for me to talk to what I was actually measuring, which was content format that performed best on platform and how to get there with the audience.
You also want to track your clicks and conversions, how to make them better, and see how many clicks converted became purchases.
Amazon’s dashboard provides click, earnings and revenue tracking for products. Track your click-throughs because it’ll guide your future promotions to identify the value you feel before relying on cash.
Don’t Make these Common Mistakes
Spamming your followers with links alone
Promoting random products, no relevance, no Q&A
Not staying compliant with disclosure (yes, it's mandatory)
Giving up to early, you have to build trust up over time
Providing boring content to back up the link Each time on social media, your objective is to build trust, which means you have to provide value up, front, first.
Final Thoughts
In 2025, promoting Amazon products, in my opinion, is one of the easiest and lowest-risk ways of making money online. If you stay in the right niche, create content consistently, and prioritize your audience above all else, then you will have a pipeline business you can scale from simple link promotions into income.
Start small and then test platforms, content, and the authenticity of yourself because that’s the only way you are going to build your influence and authentic following into buyers.
