    Thanks for sharing such helpful content. However, the issue I am facing is that I am not receiving the OTP on my phone number for payment option verification. I have tried 3 different numbers but still not get the OTP. Can you guide me with this?

    1. Meer Basit

      Here are some suggestions:
      (1) Change your browser, device or clear the cache of your browser and try again.
      (2) You can use a phone number of another cellular service available in your country.
      (3) Additionally, checking with your mobile service provider to ensure that you are able to receive SMS messages from international numbers may also be helpful.
      (4) Contact Amazon Associates Support for further assistance. They will be able to help you with your issue and resolve it as quickly as possible.

    Hi thanks for sharing an amazing guide, its really helpful.
    Recently, Amazon has declared that it’s adding Pakistan to its seller’s list. Amazon is known as an e-commerce giant that has now opened its door to Pakistani sellers almost two months ago.

    1. Meer Basit

      You’re most welcome Shameel. Amazon has not only opened the doors for sellers in Pakistan, there are also opportunities for local freelancers and agencies to earn money by providing services to those Amazon sellers.

    Hey Basit! the information is valuable as hell! I just have a question.
    What is routing number? and how do we get it for banks like Meezan?
    Another question is that if we enter U.S, do we pay tax?
    Thanks!

    1. Meer Basit

      (1) Routing (ABA) is a sequence of 9 digits used by banks to identify specific financial institutions within the United States. It is available in your Payoneer USD Receiving Account.
      (2) Pakistani bank accounts don’t have Routing number.
      (3) You receive money from Amazon via Payoneer. From Payoneer you withdraw money to your local back account such as Mezan, MCB, etc.
      (4) Yes if you are physically present in the US then you have to pay tax, but If you create your Payoneer account on Pakistani NIC and withdraw money to Pakistani bank account, you can escape from tax. They can’t track you.
      (5) If you want to create Payoneer account read this tutorial: https://www.meersworld.net/2020/05/how-to-create-payoneer-account.html

    1. Meer Basit

      How do you use Amazing Affiliate Program? YouTube? Blog? Amazon services are not available in Pakistan. To produce sales target the countries where Amazon services are available. The default Amazon affiliate program is US. When you signup you are actually registered for Amazon US Affiliate Program. There is no Pakistani Amazon. The 3 month policy is for all countries.

    please visit and let me know , May I start amazon programme on above blog where traffic not enough.

    1. Meer Basit

      Not at all! You have only published 4 or 5 posts, not enough. Apply when you bring at least 1000 or 1500 views per day. Consistently publish articles. Good thing about your blog is that it is a single niche blog. Single niche blogs earn good money from affiliate programs.

      If you can afford redirect your “.blogspot” domain to some custom domain like “ufitever.com” and also buy a professional Blogger theme. You blog will look more professional.

    Not necessary to live in that country. Your only concern is to share your affiliate links, does not matter where you live. In this tutorial you are signing up for US Amazon associate account, which is default. Similarly you can create associates accounts for UK, Canada, India, Japan etc.

    yes but that can be possible only if we live in that particular country and if there is some other way … I request you to make an article for that for our guidance/…..

    Sir as amazon services are limited in pakistan so how can i sell the amazon product to a person in Pakistan? I mean while being in Pakistan we can share link of the product only to the people outside the pakistan ? as no one can buy amazon products in pakistan please guide me im intrested in this

    1. Meer Basit

      Some banks in Pakistan like MCB supports online Amazon payments and also people having Credit Card, PayPal can buy from Amazon, but again there are limitations, not every Amazon product is shipped to Pakistan.

      It is not a good idea to refer/sell Amazon products to people in Pakistan unless until Amazon does not come to Pakistan. It is better to target people outside Pakistan.

      You can also create separate Amazon associate account for each country and target its audience. For example if you create Amazon India account you can refer/sell Amazon India’s products to Indian people.

      Amazon US is the largest market.

    Sir please tell me can we share link of amazon product on different youtube videos comment section or on instagram comment section or on some specific post??
    Secondly, on facebook profile or by joining different groups?

    1. Meer Basit

      Yes you can share Amazon links anywhere like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest etc. You must have seen that YouTubers who make product reviews put their affiliate links in the description they even mention in the video.

    there is no option of pakistan in bank account option

    1. Meer Basit

      I think you are confused. Follow the steps as we have shown above and provide the details of your First Century Bank from your Payoneer.

      Local bank accounts are added on Payoneer >> Settings >> Bank Accounts.

      Read this tutorial: How To Add Or Delete Local Bank Account In Payoneer Step-By-Step( https://www.meersworld.net/2020/05/how-to-add-delete-bank-account-in-payoneer.html)
