Amazon Affiliate Program- It Worked, Finally!

Amazon Affiliate Program- It Worked, Finally!

I registered with the Amazon affiliate program a year back. Many days passed and I was convinced that people still prefer the time tested brick and mortar stores rather than the online ones.

After almost a year now and about many clicks later, finally someone has gone ahead with the purchase and completed it. It was a pleasant surprise for me. Amazon has finally come off the list of "does not work" websites after being the top disappointment for over a year.

The amount is a meagre one, peanuts actually, but then, don't all endeavors start like that. So I went ahead and quickly started working on the aStore feature, which allows me to select the products that would be featured in my store. I finished making it a while back and now starts the tough job of marketing it and start spreading the word.

What better place than this to announce the arrival of the store. Check out my aStore at the link below

How do you get your tags to work? I copy the HTML from the website and it just shows up as code. Any help would be appreciated :).

I Was Under the Impression that None of `em Worked

Of course, maybe ~that's~ just due to my non-existant credit (on the Internet, where credit is 'the currency') and due to my not really caring if I make any money. I've been using Amazon Affiliates as more of a way to 'monetize' any links to books/magazines that happen to be for sale as well. ... signed, Uncle MythMan---Big Fan of Hot Starlets like Mary McCormack & Vanessa Montagne & Lena Li--Xombie Plan

thanks for stopping by. If you want step by step it's gonna take time. Why don't you just sign up at http://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/associates/join and after your account is approved select aStore. Reading the help will do the rest for you. It's actually simple. You can get in touch if you still can't find your way around. Bare Essentials

How to get started

Hey that looks impresive do you mind writing instructions on how you got your store started and where did you find products to sell. I'm sure it would be a big hit.

I have noticed that with Amazon, it's hard to make affiliate sales. You have to drive massive traffic to Amazon and refer pretty expensive products to make it really worthwhile.

We used it for awhile

Never had to much luck. Are problem was that it could have been taking away from the clicks on the other ads.

Goes to show..

..how much effort we all, me included, put in. I am also glad providence decided to make a sale happen otherwise i would have also never gone back. The good thing is if we are going to buy through Amazon, we might as well buy from our friend's or relative's stores on amazon so that they are benefited. Wagen - Think you ought to apply again.

I signed up for the Amazon program quite some time ago, but never did much with it. I think it was when I made a lens at Squidoo. I'll have to look further into it now that I see it has potential. Thanks for posting this. :) ↑ Grab this Headline Animator
