I love Amazon and I love it for the wide variety of products it offers, the competitive prices, and the whole shopper experience where you guess what else you would most likely buy and what you would normally do. It’s a smart site and those who shop regularly can’t help but come back for more.
What started as an online book distributor has grown into a true global retail giant offering every conceivable item and growing. With such an impressive range of stock and customer base, it’s easy to see what business opportunities might be possible for someone looking to jump on the Amazon bandwagon. And the good news is that you can jump on the bandwagon and start making big money online marketing and selling Amazon’s range of products yourself, and here’s how.
Amazon offers several ways to allow you to connect to their entire catalog and sell, however some of them require a certain degree of technical proficiency and programming skills to take full advantage of their APIs and data sources. You will not have to worry about these or your programming knowledge. In fact, you don’t need any technical skills apart from minimal computer experience and common sense to set up your own Amazon store and have it up and running and ready to sell in less than an hour.
As an Amazon Associate, you’ll get all the tools you need to quickly create your own store, choose the products you want to sell, customize the look and feel of your site, and easily implement it on your own web pages.
Here are the simple steps to get you using them right away:
1. Sign up on the Amazon website as an Associate. Link at the bottom of the page under ‘Join Partners’.
2. Sign in and choose an ID for your store so that Amazon can track your sales.
3. In the aStore tab, choose the category of products you want to sell and individually select items or let Amazon choose your full range from that category.
4. Select the colors you want to use, including your store font, size, and wording.
5. Choose what the buyer will see when they are on a certain page of your site. This could include accessories that go with your item, similar items, and buyer reviews.
6. Preview your store to see how it looks and works.
7. Copy the HTML code that Amazon automatically generates for you and paste it into your own web pages. Upload to your server and your store is ready to go out and sell.
It really is a simple step by step process and if you take the Associate Tour when you log in you will see how it all fits together.
There is no reason why you can’t do this right away and join thousands of people who are enrolled in the Associate scheme and earn good money selling online this way. Your potential income is up to 10% of the value of the basket and since the process is free, you really have nothing to lose but everything to gain.
You’ll also find banners, widgets, and text links to help you drive traffic to your site and increase your online sales. If you’ve ever wondered how to start selling online but felt intimidated, then your own Amazon store is the perfect way to test the water and create an additional stream of income.
