How to Earn Money as an Amazon Affiliate
Go to the Amazon Associates website and sign up for an account. Fill out the text boxes with the requested information. You will be given a unique account number. Write this number down and keep it in a safe place.
Look through the Amazon website to find items you want to sell. You get a percentage of the sales price, so selling larger items is one direction in which to aim. You'll get a larger percentage if you make more individual sales in a month, so you may want to sell some smaller items as well. No matter the cost, choose items you are familiar with or that you can research well.
Sign up at free article aggregate sites like Squidoo, Hubpages and InfoBarrel that allow Amazon ads on the pages. Add your Amazon Associates code number to your profile or account. Choose topics relating to the items you wish to sell. If you want to sell a certain barbecue grill, write an article about how to grill on a barbecue. Include an Amazon ad for your particular chosen item on your article page. When people read your article, they will see an ad for your item and, ideally, click on it.
Start a blog with a subject matter that ties in with your chosen item or items. Write regular blog posts and have regular Amazon ads on every post, tied in with the subject of your blog.
Start a blog about a subject you're passionate about and find Amazon objects to tie in with the subject. Blog about a hobby and post ads for hobby supplies or post about your children and place ads for toys, books or craft items. Start with the subject first and find the sales item second.
Write articles and posts on other sites and link them to your blogs and articles. When people read your article and get interested in the subject matter, they will click on your link to find more information. After reading further they may click on your ad to purchase an Amazon product.

How to Plan a Production (6 Steps)
Schedule one or more readings of your script with your team. During the first reading or two, have team members identify what they do and don't like about the script. Have them identify the logistical issues associated with producing it. Ensure that the script falls in line with the preferences of your audience.
Review each scene in the script carefully. Identify the cast, props, crew, equipment and other resources needed to produce each individual scene. Make a spreadsheet identifying each person or item required by scene numbers. Also include a column for the cost of each person or item.
Assign roles to your team members. For school and community theater productions, be sensitive not only to what people would like to do, but also to how much time they have to work. For film productions and paid theatrical productions, work with professionals who have worked in other successful productions. They will have a solid understanding of their respective roles in the production process.
Assess the costs of your production. Move through the spreadsheet you created to identify a cost for each item in the production, including labor and overhead. You may want to ask your team to help you assess costs. Compare the overall projected cost of the production against how much you can afford to pay. Use this information to project how much you want it to earn in ticket sales.
Create a schedule that accurately reflects how long it will take to produce your project. Make sure it encompasses time for cast and technical rehearsals, constructing props and sets, acquiring equipment for use during the production, and clean-up after the production ends. Review the schedule with team members to ensure that it reflects their best estimates. Add extra time to ensure that you can handle unforeseen events.
Combine the script, schedule, cost estimate and team assignments into a written production plan. Use this document to help raise money to produce your project. Follow your production plan when the time comes to create your production.

How to make money through Amazon Associates/Affiliates Program
First, you need to have a web presence in order to direct people to Amazon products so you can make a commission. Create a site around something you are interested, or if you are a freelance web writer, tie the Amazon links right into your articles.
Once you have a web site or content you can tie Amazon products into, go to the Amazon Associates site and register for an account. There is no cost to join this program. The Amazon associates link is at the bottom of this page in the resource section.
After you register, Amazon will verify what site, content, or type of content you will be providing links to their products in, and if they approve you will be granted an account. This process is very quick taking only 1 - 2 days.
Once you are registered, add any product links from your Amazon Associates account to any articles, website content, or web sites you think viewers may be interested in. For example, if you write an article on gardening, you could put Amazon links to gardening books, tools, pots or even seeds that are sold through Amazon. If your viewer clicks on this link, and then purchases any item from Amazon (not just the one you recommended), you will earn a commission on the purchased products. The base commission is around 4%, but it increases over time as you sell more products. Detailed information can be found on the Amazon Associates web site, which can be found at the bottom of this page in the resource section.
