Add An Amazon Store to Your Site - Easy and Profitable

I was recently creating another website when I decided to add some Amazon books to sell from it. It was at this point that I kind of accidentally found about their new aStore — a complete store loaded with items in my niche that I could easily add to my site.
The aStore works almost like a data feed, but is EASY to install. I had almost given up on datafeed programming, because I can never get it right the first time.
However, I do use GoldenCAN because they make it simple; I just add one line of code to my site, and I have a complete store! I’ve remarked on this before because I think it’s just amazing. I’m not a programmer, so I’m all for anything that makes it easy for an affiliate marketer to get content and items onto web pages!
Amazon’s aStore works more or less the same way. You just go into your Amazon Affiliate area and select what kind of products you want displayed at your store. There are quite a few different features to choose from (for example, Customer Reviews, Wish Lists, Categories, etc.). You can even change the colors to match your site, and add your site name.
After you make your choices, you just copy the HTML code, and paste it onto your web page. You now have your complete store.
The great thing about this is that users can review the books, look at images and reviews, as well as get current prices at Amazon – all without leaving your aStore. And, you can have up to 100 aStores per Associate account!
If you’re going to sell Amazon products, you might as well sell a whole store of products that pertain to your particular niche. After all, more choices for the customer increases the chance of a sale.
Just sign in to your Amazon affiliate account and look for the aStore link. You’ll be walked through the entire process and have your niche store up in just a few minutes.
