The infamous Wagglepop Marketshare and Tulip Marketshare

Oh ok so that's what they look like you just put up a page
and a couple of products? hmmm

I thought the site would be more complex looking, but if
you can sell products with just a simple page go for it.

Does the Tulip Marketshare belong to the people who
own this site?

Is there a fee to sign and have an Amazon AStore?

[mandy]

Amazon Astores are free and there is no limit to the number you can create.

There are also several scripts that allow you to create an Amazon affiliate store on your own website. Here's one script and several sites that use it. http://www.theeasystore.com/live_amazoneasy_sites.php

You're unlikely to make any real money with a standalone Amazon affiliate site whether you use an Amazon hosted Astore or a script on your own site.

The best way to make money with Amazon's affiliate program is to add selected products to your site that compliment your existing target audience's interests.  Example:  you own a forum or blog about gardening - add a few gardening related books and products.

  Good morning!!!

And thanks for the information but I think I'll still go
for the stand alone store.
How can I blog about products I've never used?
I think I just might try both.

Can you arrange your products in any order you want in
an Amazon store?

Who does the Tulip Marketshare site belong to?

Anyone with Amazon Affiliate Stores experience please join this thread. I would like some help with this please.
Thanks!!

I've never tried theeasystore, but have used http://www.associate-o-matic.com/ (AOM)
I have built stores with them and had a little success, by little meaning I have sold about half as much as I need to get a commission check. I never had any success with the A-store format though, because everything is identical to thousands of other stores.

The AOM script though gives a pretty easy template editor, as well as different descriptions than the other thousands of A-Stores.
They also have a free script that doesn't allow shoppers to build a cart on your site, but redirects straight to Amazon when they add it to their cart. The full version looks just like a regular website, only sending you to Amazon after you have added everything and select "checkout."

[Nikkicute]

Thanks xwpopper!! I'll give the o-matic a look as well.

I just signed up with Amazon Affiliate today and I think I
messed up already!!!

You'll receive another email from us officially welcoming you to the Program once we've reviewed your Web site.
What website?
I don't have a website!!
When I signed up they asked to name the site, I thought
I was naming my aStore.
Do you have to have a site/blog first to sell Amazon products?
Will my application be rejected?

Does the Tulip Marketshare belong to the people who
own this site?

It was opened as a joke last year when Ray first announced his plans for Wagglepop Marketshare.  It hasn't generated any revenues but the only link to it is on the Wagglepop thread (and now this thread)

Do you have to have a site/blog first to sell Amazon products?

I think you do.

[Nikkicute]

Oh!!!
So that's why she called the site infamous. LOL

Well they'll probably reject my application then, I have no site!! But I"m sure I will get another chance to apply again right?

Thanks, I'll see how it goes when they get back to me.

[Nikkicute]

Congratulations, your application to the Amazon.com
Associates Program has been approved.
 
 Well I'm in !!!!
 No site or blog, go figure....
 
 Thanks for your help.
On to my next step.

[Nikkicute]

What do you think about my aStore so far?
I'm still working on it adding products and categories.

Pink is a good niche (although I would have chosen purple or plum ).  Now you need a pink blog to drive traffic to your store.

[xwpopper]

Looks good, and ditto on the blog, then submit the blog to everything that allows it. Also, try submitting some articles outside of your blog as long as the site allows outbound links. The only design tip is that I to center it on the screen, that way it doesn't "look" so much like an Astore. Here's instructions:
