Here is what you need to know, if you didn't know already...
On-Site Commissions
This is when the shopper finds your content inside Amazon. Examples:
• Product page videos
• Amazon Live Streams
• Your Amazon storefront
• Idea Lists
Amazon surfaces your content to shoppers who are already on Amazon. If they purchase after viewing your content, that sale is attributed to you.
Off-Site Commissions
This is when you send traffic to Amazon. Examples:
• Pinterest pins
• TikTok posts
• YouTube descriptions
• Blogs or websites
• Email links
In this case, you are the traffic source and the purchase happens after someone clicks your affiliate link.
Simple rule:If the shopper starts on Amazon → on-site
If the shopper comes from your content → off-site
Both are valid revenue streams, and most successful creators use both, but as a tip, Amazon values off-site traffic mored. They love it when you bring them customers.
