How to Make Money with Amazon

The global e-commerce giant Amazon allows users to purchase all types of products, but also offers various opportunities for digital content creators to earn money.

To do this, anyone who has a website and creates digital content can register for free as an Amazon affiliate and make use of the different methods available to generate income.

These are some of the different options available for generating income through Amazon, explained in a practical guide published by the company:

• Share links with your audience 
  Commissions are earned from the sale of recommended products

• Create an influencer store
  Users can design their own virtual store on Amazon to offer their followers a unique storefront.

• Shoppable videos
  Commissions can be earned when followers purchase products based on product review videos

• Promotion of subscription & memberships
  Amazon offers commissions for each user who registers for a trial period or a subscription service from the company such as Amazon Kindle, Audible, Prime Video, or Amazon Music.

• Creation and sale of own products
  Thanks to the print-on-demand system, users can design and sell their own branded products on Amazon without initial costs.

In the space called "Creator University”, Amazon provides all the necessary information to implement these options.

FIFA+, an audiovisual treasure for football history enthusiasts

One of the services offered by the FIFA website, the international football federation, is FIFA+, a video portal where fans of men's and women's football can enjoy documentaries and series about this sport for free, or relive the best moments in World Cup history, among other options.

FIFA+'s historical archive is an audiovisual treasure. It is the most complete archive of international football, with more than 2,500 videos available for free, featuring content spanning from the mid-20th century to the present day.

For example, complete matches, spotlights on global stars, fans and influencers and relive iconic football moments with full match replays from past editions of FIFA World Cup™ and FIFA Women’s World Cup™can be viewed.

Thus, it is possible to relive complete matches such as the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™, the Final that Spain won against the Netherlands with Iniesta's historic goal in extra time, or the finals won by Argentina in 1978, 1986, and 2022, or the Germany'74 final in which Beckenbauer and Cruyff faced off, with the Germans emerging victorious.

Additionally, the platform features documentaries, docuseries, interview programs, short films, and other programs dedicated to football stars, teams, and special moments in the history of this sport.

Newspaper Clarín celebrates its 80th anniversary with a multimedia historical special

On August 28th, the Argentine newspaper Clarín turned 80 years old. This newspaper, founded on August 28, 1945, has become the Spanish-language media outlet with the largest number of digital subscribers worldwide, after recently reaching the figure of 750,000 subscribers.

Among other initiatives promoted on the occasion of this celebration, Clarín recently launched a multimedia historical special in which it reviews major news stories from these last eight decades using the materials -texts, photos and even advertisements- published at the time, seeking "an attractive way to rescue history and bring it to the present."

The Clarín team has selected nearly 90 high-impact historical news stories, both national and international, and has told them "as if the internet had always existed," including photos, videos and animated pages, always maintaining the original texts. "A narration using internet codes and tools, about events that mostly occurred before the internet existed."
