There’s plenty of Amazon affiliate software out there, and I’m not talking about in the associates. Although having said that, you’ll find Amazon software to help you create a type of website called an astore, you’ll find tab right next to their banner and widgets link maker.
Did you know Mission0ps started as a computer gaming site … astore.amazon.com/mission0ps.com-20
Those aStores don’t look very sexy do they? That’s why there’s a huge market in software that can help you produce your own affiliate website linked to Amazon with ease.
These products are in the 100s, I couldn’t possibly list or review them all. So I’m going to outline the types of software used and how they can assist or hinder your efforts.
All In One Affiliate Site Builders
This is the type of the affiliate software that produces you a fully loaded affiliate website at a single click, there’s a bad reputation that surrounds these websites, and for good reason.
Most of these sites are mass produced and sold with PLR content. Add to that the majority who buy these type of sites don’t change the plr that comes with them – resulting in another cloned site that sits in the Google sandbox.
We know that one of the things that Google ranks our websites on is the uniqueness of content, so it’s no good having website that is the exact clone of hundreds of others out there.
However that doesn’t mean that I personally didn’t use them in my affiliate campaigns. I’ve tested several of these type of Amazon web builders. The criteria for the software I’ve used being…
I can change the content to make it unique to me and my own niche traffic is high enough.
I will often add a tweaked “store” using one click affiliate software just to test the water. All it takes is a widget banner.
I’ve used one click store builders, from a developer called Coolice, he creates niche targeted sites like the affiliate camera store, I’ve also had some success with a piece of Amazon driven software I picked up for $17 called FSB – although I must say , the price has gone up and I don’t use FSB so much these days.
Amazon WordPress Themes
There’s an ever growing list of amazon stores built on the wordpress platform. Amazon software that runs on wordpress will create a store usually with the aid of a plugins like the Pinterest look-a-like covert pinpress style themes.
Others will create a fully built amazon store, I’ve tried store builders, from a developer called IM Wealth Builders, he created a few Amazon niche related plugins with the word covert in them. He made covert content, covert shirt store builder and covert pinpress.
The benefit of Amazon niche affiliate sites built on wordpress is that you are able to easily change or add to the content via the wordpress posts editor.
However saying that, you can pick up an Amazon affiliate website from Fiverr … so the web is saturated with crap poor quality sites that google as well as the average user has become really savvy to.
The flexibility of wordpress also makes it possible to integrate affiliate web-stores from Woo-Commerce and the like.
However the underlying message is that If you are going to use software to ‘set-up’ your amazon site you really need to ensure that your content is unique, engaging and stands out from the rest.
It’s pretty easy if you take into consideration what the peeps reading your reviews want and need to know.
Plugins For Amazon
Some folks prefer to run a regular weblog without text-links using Amazon affiliate banners. There are also a multitude of wordpress plugins that cater for the Amazon affiliate. Amazon review plugins, customizable and colorful Amazon product widget makers, there are even wordpress plugins that create search boxes for your websites coded with your Amazon affiliate ID.
From experience I can tell you that most people will click on your text links, yet an image that’s obviously served by Amazon does add a little reassurance to readers, we all know you can return our Amazon products without too much drama.
Affiliate Website Builders
There’s More .. Shopify and Volusion many are even the likes if Wix has poked it’s head over the wall – BUT that’s for another post.
Amazon Niche Targeting Software
There’s also a big market for software that highlights great markets by target specifics in the product listings on Amazon. AmaSuite is the tool of choice for me, and I do recommend it as it’s a real time saver.
I’ve been a fan of AmaSuite for a few years now!
Using filters including top 100 status, number of reviews, user rating and search volume. I use AmaSuite to narrow down ‘profitable’ niche ideas, or even generate them.
Bottom Line.
After all that I’ve said I MUST admit that niche store sales is down a bucket load whilst niche site sales are growing – and it’s not just me finding niche store sites are bombing. My new niche sites will take a little of what I know works mixed with a little of want to try and test.
So do tell – do you rate any Amazon affiliate software or do you go along the lines of it’s all a load of tosh?
