These programs will be clearly listed online, like Amazon’s and they’ll have guidelines for who and who doesn’t qualify. There will likely still be a review or approval process, but this isn’t typically selective except perhaps for factors like how much site traffic you get or domain authority. It’s simple and it typically doesn’t take long to get approved, if approval is even required.
