edited with canvas

It is now very easy for bloggers, businesses, or content creators to earn commissions by promoting other people's products via a means called Amazon Affiliate.

This is an initiative that was launched a long time ago by Amazon to allow individuals like the categories of individuals that we have earlier introduced to earn commissions by promoting Amazon products.

Let's say for example, I have a website in which Amazon products are promoted you visit my website click on the affiliate's unique link on my website, and make a purchase on Amazon, I will earn an affiliate percentage of the sale from the product you purchase via my link.

Amazon affiliate marketing works even while you are sleeping almost everything is been done online, meaning you will need to have a blog, social media account, or YouTube channel. For this challenge as requested by the professor, I will be showing you how to use a blog to promote Amazon affiliates.
