How does Amazon affiliate marketing work and is it worth it in 2025?

I use Amazon affiliate marketing on my review blog. It still works, but margins are small. If your goal is to learn affiliate basics, yes, it’s worth it. If your goal is high earnings, look elsewhere.

Amazon affiliate marketing works well for beginners. But honestly, it’s not very profitable unless you have thousands of visitors. For serious income, you should look for higher-ticket affiliate programs.

You join Amazon Associates, get special links, and promote products. You earn a small commission (like 3–5%). It is worth it only if you can bring high traffic because the commission rates are low.
