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 Make Money Trading Commodities (7 Steps)

Pull up a commodity price chart service on the Internet. You can use a free service like the one at TradeCharts.com, where you can click the tab on the left column marked 'Commodity Charts' and be taken to a selection of price charts for different commodities.

Scan the charts for commodities that are bullish, which means trending upwards. You can spot these commodities because their price action will start at the lower left hand corner of the chart and travel into the direction of the upper right hand chart. Mark any commodities that are trending in this manner.

Scan your list of upward trending commodities for a break in their price action. When a commodity has been trending strongly it will begin to pull back or pause its bullish movement. At this point, it will begin to consolidate into a trading range between two price levels. Mark down any commodities that are consolidating in their price action after a strong bullish move.

Take note of any commodity whose price action has been consolidating in a tight trading range for at least four weeks or longer. This type of price consolidation takes place before a breakout entry is signaled when price rises up through the upper price level.

Buy a position in a commodity as its price action rises up through its upper price level on strong price action. Strong price action is when the price bar moves up through the upper price level while closing in the top 20 percent of its price range. This confirms the entry into a breakout move.

Place a stop-loss order under the lower level of the commodity's trading range. A stop-loss order will sell your position if the commodity's price reverses downward and touches that price level. Stop-loss orders act as a type of insurance to take you out of the market with a small loss where you might take a larger loss by not having a stop-loss at all.
Sell your position when it reaches three times your initial risk. For example, if your initial risk were $1,000, then you will sell when you position reaches $3,000.
