Amazon in Bangladesh
Amazon is a name I heard in 1998 back when life and world was still safe and nice. In Dhaka the internet was 80 BDT/ hour for surfing. There was a cyber cafe called Bus Planet in Dhanmondi. (one the good areas with trees). They used to charge around 80 BDT per hour.
I heard was some guy called Jeff who started a bookshop in a garage. Who cares?
We were interested in Yahoo! ,and when I heard it I was like Yahoo of Gulliver Travels?.
Gulliver Travels if you did not know is a great book by Jonathan Swift. If you haven’t read it,pls do and do not look for shortcuts!
Then I knew these guys had an email service.
Later on I tried Amazon but did not have a good website ,so it did not work. But I was kind of very eager to get amazon affiliates in Bangladesh.!
I even heard Amazon was coming to Bangladesh in 2019 but that did not happen.
How I get to be an Amazon Affiliate in Bangladesh?
I did some research and I think best site would be Neil Patel’s
First have a look at his site :https://neilpatel.com/blog/ then do other things .
- Think of a niche or topic you are good in. You are good in management but you hear Fashion is a great niche in Amazon Affiliate ,don’t choose like that. Choose the topic you are good in. (Amazon Affiliates has to support the topic too).
- Design a good Logo by a good designer, (or you can get from us at affordable prices).
- Think of a good name for your blog.
- Register your site and take hosting around:2 GB.(cost :2500 BDT/Year).
- Try to get a SSL for the domain.
- Install WordPress, latest.
- Install an attractive theme (you are wondering ,I am not earning a cent or Paisa in this case,how do I buy a wordpress theme. ) Get a Free theme! Choose ThemeGrill.
- Arrange your Menus
- Make sure you have the following links and policies. Details are given below.
- Create a facebook page.
- Install must have plugins: UPDraftPlus(back up plugin) before proceeding any further!!
- Then Also install a security plugin:
- Write about 10 posts
- Make sure all links on the home page do lead to dead ends!
Run your site for about 5 to 6 months or at least 4 months with a regular post.
Then apply by following this link:https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/ and complete after registering and signing in.Give your details and your exact address.
What you might not have is a TIN certificate.
Now to get a TIN certificate you have to apply online.

- Register
- Give your phone number
- Create your TIN
- Wait a few days.
Remember to have your Bangladeshi TIN (Tax Identification Number ) beforehand, that is before you apply for the Amazon Affiliates.
Why should you apply for Amazon Affiliates?
The Bengali famous question :What is my profit?
You can earn around 1000$ per month in Bangladesh ,that is :85000 BDT per month with investing around 2500 BDT per year plus 6000 BDT on posts if you can write posts on your own.
But income of 70 K :70,000 US $ is possible if your traffic is from North America and Europe.
This depends on your digital strategy or planning. It is like this: you have a destination and budget so you plan you want to take a cab (CNG or Uber for Bangladeshis ) or hop on the subway.
Since everyone is sitting at home as told by their respective governments waiting for what I do not know. Now is a good time to think of being an Amazon Affiliates.
