Amazon Store Template

Category Design, Niche Marketing, Template  Time  5:20 pm

With Amazon Web Services you can create an amazon store on your own website. This way you can sell amazon products and make money with Amazon Associates. I have found Amazon to be a great way to make make money.

The easiest open source option to build an Amazon store that I have found is Amazon Products Feed. This script is simple to install and use. Just unzip, upload in ASCII to a directory, and then CHMOD amazon_products_feed.cgi (775). Then point your browser to the apf_config.cgi file and follow the onscreen directions.

You can see your store by visiting amazon_products_feed.cgi and after that you’ll most likely want to use php includes to create static pages for each major page you wish to show in your store. There is plenty of documentation with the file, so be sure to read it for further details.

I have created a simple template for the Amazon Products Feed (APF) that anyone can use. To make it easier to install the template I have included my template as the default in the following zip package of APF. You can see a preview of the store template below:

    Kelli,
    Have you seen the associate-o-matic software? It is also free and provide a ton of customization. I am hoping to develop a couple of stores from it.

    On a side note. What methods are you using to increase traffic to you niche sites? I do get some search engine traffic but amd still not seeing a good ctr. Email me and I can show you some other examples.
    Thanks
    Kenneth

    Keep up the great work.

    iatbm: I haven’t used snews cms yet, but i looked it up after reading your comment and it seemed like a useful cms for niche site building, so I am going to try it out on the next few sites I make. Thanks for encouraging me to be more active blogging, and I apologize for not being as active as both you and I would like. I hate excuses, but I will say that I just bought a new house and all my extra time right now is going into renovating so that I can move. But it’s really no excuse because it all comes down to managing time.

    Kenneth: I checked out associate-o-matic and it does seem like a simple way to create an amazon store. I just don’t like the idea of them taking even 10% of my revenue traffic. Plus I’m suspicious that they could be taking more than 10% and I would never know. Of course I could also pay the $99, but I’m cheap. I’d love to hear how it works for you though, it might turn out to be worth the $99. Also, thanks for asking what methods I use to increase traffic. Obviously this is a huge topic, so I’ll cover it in a post soon.
