OK,
So in case you are living under a rock, I am fairly sure you have heard about Amazon and their affiliate program.

Well, for many people that used to pay a decent commission, but since yesterday, they have changed that dramatically!

As in before you would get in the outdoor sector 8% not you get 3%. In other sections, you got 4% but it been changed to 1%..
You see this will clearly affect people`s income if they depend on Amazon.

So...
I own some affiliate sites, inc 1 large (very expensive!) site. Now, these are all sh** & in the toilet, unless I change something..
My thoughts are a little different than most others on this subject I think.

Here I list my options.

1. Leave links on Amazon and hope for the best. Basically putting my head in the sand like a camel.

2. Add a shop to my sites, and sell the products myself, and just dropship them from Amazon, or wherever I can find the cheapest prices, depending on shipping time, and customer location.

3. Move away from Amazon, and find another "Amazon".
Now hat will be hard because if you need to use 10 different shops to sed your traffic, depending on their location, you need not only a great Geolocation plugin with tons of features, you also need to join 10+ different affiliate sites and that`s just a pain to juggle,.

What´re your thoughts on this?
Are you involved in Amazon, and what will you do yourself..

If you have a solution to any of my thoughts, please share below.
