I just ran across a website that allows you to create a custom Amazon Associate storefront in literally minutes!  It’s called Associate-O-Matic.

What’s an Amazon Associate store you ask?  It’s your own online store featuring Amazon products.  When people purchase Amazon products through your online store you can earn up to 15% referral fees through Amazon.

All you need is a Domain Name and a Hosting account with Apache and PHP (WebMom Domains has both for its hosting so you don’t have to worry about it if you sign up with us!).  

You can sign up for Associate-O-Matic’s Lite or Full Version.  The difference between the two is that the Lite version is FREE while the Full version has more functionality.  They have a comparison checklist for both versions on their website that you can check out.  You can also sign up for a 30-day Full version trial which is what I will be doing.  I’ll report back to you on the ease of setup when I’m done!

Besides needing a domain name and a hosting account, you will also need to become an Amazon Associate which is easy to do.  The sign up is FREE and once you create an account, you can use your Amazon Associate ID and build your online store with Associate-O-Matic.  Actually, if you sign up for an Amazon Associate account, you will find there are many other opportunites to generate revenue.  I will be adding those ideas later…
