Available factory options work from home jobs at amazon

As said earlier, amazon offers delivery and factory option-based jobs that you can apply for and you could be considered. But since I am focused on not only presenting this post to residents close to the Amazon offices or stores. But also those away but have the expertise to deliver a service or two.

I will therefore discuss available Amazon Online Jobs opportunities that you can apply for and if considered then get yourself a computer and all necessary devices needed to set up an office at your home.

These kinds of jobs may need a previously well-built portfolio though in some instances amazon states that experience is not necessary. This is because Amazon does offer training on what they want you to do for them. You also are answerable directly to your senior at amazon.

Below are three opportunities we found out that you can apply for and work at amazon while at home:-.

1. Customer Service Associate

As a virtual customer service associate, you will act as the first point of contact for customers by answering their queries through phone, chat, or email.

You will be responsible for resolving a wide variety of customer issues and educating them to resolve issues themselves. No previous contact center experience is necessary since amazon promises to offer training.

According to PayScale, some of the management and senior Amazon positions can easily earn between $60,000 (Ksh. 6M) and $150,000 (Ksh. 15M) a year!

Make money online working for amazon as your own boss

If you dislike being hired on temporal job opportunities advertised by Amazon and working under someone. Then you may consider these options to work as your own boss though, you still will get paid by amazon.

1. Amazon Influencer Program

If you have a large following on social media, consider looking into the Amazon Influencer Program. To be an Amazon influencer you have to have a YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter account.

They do want you to have a certain amount of followers and you can check if you qualify through their website.

YouTube and Twitter are real-time approval, but Facebook and Instagram could take up to 5 days to check and approve your account.

If you have an audience outside of the United States, you can still get credit for sales in some areas.  You earn a commission every time an item you refer to your following is shipped.

Amazon has its own version of a way for businesses to hire crowd workers to complete simple tasks. MTurk is a place for a business to turn if they get overwhelmed and need some tasks done.

There is where you can come in handy by completing some short tasks for extra cash.

Some tasks you might be asked to do involve researching data details, content moderation, data deduplication, and transcribing audio recordings.

The more tasks you complete, the more you’ll get paid. Work has to be approved by whoever requested you to do it then you are eligible to complete it and get paid. You can be paid in either Amazon gift cards or bank transfers.

Pros of joining the Amazon Associate program

There are several great reasons to join the Amazon Associates program, including:

• Amazon is a highly visited, well-known name that people use and trust every day.

• It’s free to join.

• There are no traffic thresholds or other metrics you need to be accepted into the program.

• There are tons and tons of products you can promote.

• Amazon has many tools to help you sell specific items or a category of items.

• There is a good reporting system so you know what’s getting clicks and what’s selling.

• You can receive direct deposit payments into your bank account (Europe-based only).

• Amazon offers good customer service to its buyers, so you reduce the risk of having your visitors get mad at you if they have a problem with the product.

• Even if your visitor doesn’t buy the product you referred, if they buy something on that visit, you earn a commission

Cons of the Amazon Associates Program

Nothing is ever perfect, including the Amazon affiliate program. Here are a few downsides:

• The commission rate is relatively low compared to other affiliate programs, 1% to 10% depending on the items. It offers flat-rate for the bounty programs, such as $15 for business account sign-ups, $3 for Prime referrals, and $5 for Audible referrals.

• Their cookies only last 24 hours. That means if your referral doesn’t buy within 24 hours, you won’t get credit. (However, if the product is added to their cart, the cookie lasts 89 days.)

• You’re not allowed to send Amazon affiliate links in emails. That includes blog posts that get sent as an email. Since email is an excellent way to send great offers to your readers, this rule is particularly disappointing.

• Payment options are only through direct deposit, check, or Amazon gift card. There’s neither PayPal, MPesa, or Skrill option.
