Website owners and bloggers have several ways of monetizing their content. One of the ways is through Amazon Associates, a service that allows you to embed Amazon product links into your site. When a user clicks on the link and purchases the product, you'll receive a commission. To get started, you'll need to embed the product's source code into your website. Thanks to a simple Amazon Associates interface, the process is straightforward.
