Amazon Associates pays a commission on qualifying purchases made within 24 hours of a customer clicking your affiliate link. The commission rate depends on the product category — not the individual product — and is applied to the item price (excluding taxes and shipping).
Commission rates favor luxury beauty (20%) and books (8%) significantly over electronics (3%). If your content can authentically cover higher-commission categories, the income difference per sale is substantial. A $50 luxury beauty product earns $10; the same price in electronics earns only $1.50.
If someone clicks your Amazon link and buys anything on Amazon within 24 hours — not just the product you linked to — you earn commission on their entire cart. Link to entry-point products in high-traffic categories to maximize this basket effect.
