I understand there is a great way to earn small referral fees by adding a book post to your blog that leads directly to Amazon’s website, and if the person ‘purchases’ the product, you get a small referral fee.
What is the process or methodology to get this accomplished?

sign up on the right. To be honest, I am an affiliate for amazon and you said it the best, the referral fees are small.
The way I see it, it takes the same amount of time to market a lower priced item online, as it does an higher priced item online. If you have a blog already set up and you are looking to add a few links from amazon I guess it wouldn’t hurt.
Once you are logged in you will get a toolbar on the top of your page. just go to the product page you want to refer and add the product by using the toolbar. They will supply you will the html code for you site.
Best of luck.

@dawnboyer @louisdagosto The referral fees may be small, but they add up. What I like about Amazon’s program is that if someone clicks on one of your links and then buys anything on Amazon, whether it was what you recommended or not, you still get the referral fee. Someone bought a TV after looking at a book I recommended – talk about an upsell! :)

@kristi-hines @dawnboyer @louisdagosto The non-profit I am Treasurer has an Amazon link on its website and if anyone clicks on it and purchases items, the NP receives funds directed to the bank checking account monthly. Around Christmas we try to really promote it and have received several hundred dollars. Last month we received $85. Not a lot but adds up to almost $1000 in 2011. And encouraging people to purchase the Amazon $75 annual premium thing where they get free shipping and letting them know what ever they need, Amazon has it. This encourages them to shop Amazon. So we all become promoters for Amazon. I guess there could be worse things.

Is there a fee for setting up an aStore? I have read about these a few times and seem to get mixed impressions from them.

Oooooh, I am such a fan of Amazon and have been “promoting” them to friends and colleagues for years, yet I’d never heard of this affiliate marketing possibility. I am certainly going to look into this one…
Cheers,

Hi @glengorham There is no fee for setting up an aStore and the referral fees are much the same as the others have noted above for the affiliate program. You can follow the same steps as above to create an Associates account, and then it’s just a couple of button clicks to build a store.

All the best,Monique

@glengorham I created a silly one for a side hobby of mine - http://dailysock.com/sock-monkey-gifts/. It took about 10 minutes to do, from selecting products to putting the code on my website. Just log in to your affiliate account and then go to http://astore.amazon.com/ to start building one. :)

On my blog, when I have projects or tips posted, i’ll search Amazon for the products used and post it – one click shopping if anyone wants to do the project! :) I’m trying to figure out how to work it into the recipe areas… maybe baking pans? Hmmm…

@dawnboyer The Warrior Forum has a lot of info on affiliate marketing, which is basically what you’re talking about. Tons of free info about Amazon promotions, as well as paid info.
warriorforum.com
And just a reminder everyone… it’s hard to talk about affiliate links without using affiliate links, but dems da rules here on SME. When you go to the Warrior Forum, the rules are completely different, with affiliate links everywhere. But even they have limits and ban people often for violating them. Personally, I find SME much less distracting without them and without fear of being sold something behind a cloaked link.

I started using Amazon’s Affiliate marketing for my GAMING blog – there’s been a few click-through purchases and the ads generally will read your text and make an ad that matches the content.
Works best if your blog is about products or things people are buying (or would buy on amazon).
