Can you imagine how you were feeling if someone just gave you store with thousands of hot selling products? Can you?
That what you can get from Amazon. Free of charge, no upfront cost – ZERO – NULL. I’m not telling about putting the small ads around your website hoping that someone will click one and will place and order within 24 hours than will pay for the product (well, he needs to pay if you wish to get your commission) Situation is much better when you have your store with shopping basket. Your chances for commission increase dramaticaly as everone who adds products on your websites and goes only to the Amazon checkout system can place the order within 30 days and you will stil get commission.
I’ve used CGI script which can downloaded from Amazon Web Services at:
http://solutions.amazonwebservices.com
You receive immediate access to the resources once you register at
http://associates.amazon.com
I found free Perl based script called Amazon Products Feed. This can give you great starting point .
You can obviously edit templates, change fonts, colors, add AdSense advertising or pack iframes around the website.
One of interesting features I added was the Special Offer to encourage clicks directly to Amazon.
However I feel that every time I remove them leaving shopping cart only the profitability is going up.
Using this simple, ready made technology you can make quite good money. You can also encourage your friends, family or advertise around to get more and more traffic/sales.
Keep also in mind that your own purchase will not qualify as affiliate fee.
I strongly advise you to shop through my website as a little reward for the information above.
The operating cgi scripts is not complicated even if you are novice. Just make sure that the directory you run the script can execute cgi scripts. Your administrator should help you.
