All the Cool Amazon Services You Haven’t Heard of (including 17 ways to make money)

We're Amazon affiliates because we really like and use them alllll the time, but it's hard even for us to keep up with everything they offer!

This is an attempt to keep track of it all in one place, so if you know of something we're missing, please let us know.

Of course the most well-known service is Amazon Prime. We've used it since at least 2006, though we have orders dating back to 2004.

The reason we started using Amazon Prime was because of the free 2-day shipping, but they've added on quite a few benefits since then as they continue to develop more services, which we've outlined below.
