If you’re an AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner looking to earn money by referring clients to Amazon Web Services, you should know that there isn’t a specific “Amazon Associates” program for this purpose. However, there is a way to get involved through the AWS Partner Network (APN).
The APN is a program designed for companies that want to partner with AWS. One of its features includes a formal referral process where AWS sales teams can share potential customer opportunities with partners, and vice versa. If you’re a member of the APN, you can create referral opportunities to work together with AWS sales or other partners on client projects.
Getting involved in this process involves a few steps. First, you’ll need to join the AWS Partner Network, which requires your company to meet certain requirements and go through an application process. Simply holding an AWS certification like Cloud Practitioner isn’t enough on its own to participate in the referral program. You need to be part of a recognized partner company within the network.
Once you’re part of the APN, you can accept or reject client referrals, but customer contact details are kept private until you agree to move forward. You must respond promptly to referrals and keep AWS informed about the status of each opportunity.
While this is a practical route to start earning through client referrals, it’s important to understand that the process is tailored for organizations rather than individual practitioners. If you’re interested in making this a formal part of your business, the best approach is to explore joining the AWS Partner Network and follow their steps to get started.
For detailed information, you can visit the official AWS documentation on referrals, leads, and opportunities on the AWS Partner Central website.
