You might have saw the news earlier this week that Amazon is making major changes to their affiliate program.
At a time when they’re making more money than ever, they’ve decided to change their commission structure from 3-8% per sale, to a measly 1-3%.
This is HUGE.
I know so many bloggers who make the bulk of their income from the Amazon affiliate program, and starting on April 21st, their revenue will be cut my 50%+ OVER NIGHT.
My friend Matt is predicting he will lose $176,929 because of this one *little* change Amazon made.
It’s especially frustrating when as a small business owner, you put your faith in a company like Amazon and assume, that if you help them grow, they’ll do the same for you.
Obviously it didn’t turn out this way.
The good news, is that you have options. And in this video I share 5 things that I’m thinking about, now that the Amazon Affiliate Program isn’t nearly the good option for monetization that it once was.
