E-tip #27

Sept/Oct 2008 Article 10 Volume 12
Book-lovers hear this!
Earn extra cash with an online bookstore/store



Being an avid reader and book-lover this subject is a fun thing for me to write about. This e-tip will help you to understand how simple it really is to maintain an online bookstore and that it requires minimal effort on your part. Your bookstore/store can be up and running and on your website in less than an hour. How is that for fast and easy?

What are some benefits of an online bookstore/store?
  • You can earn extra cash in your pocket

  • The bookstore/store runs itself once it is set-up

  • It's a way to offer your website visitor more products or books to educate them on your product

  • There is a wide range of items that are available to be sold besides books

  • All purchases from your bookstore/store are recorded and emailed directly to your Inbox

It's amazing to see all the products that are made available to offer in an online store; apparel, jewelry, books, tools, sporting goods, DVDs and so much more. The online store is fully customizable, professional in appearance and can be set-up to look like part of your website. Take a couple of minutes to browse my 2 bookstores: Roz's Home ><(((º> Bookshelf and Roz designz Bookshelf. What is great about the online store is you can categorize and subcategorize your items as you can see in the examples of my bookstores.

You may be asking, where do I sign up? Amazon.com, they have an affiliate program called Amazon Associates, which is free to sign-up with and no strings attached. Of course Amazon.com takes their fair share of the generated sales and why not, they do all the work! Ready to sign-up?

      Here's the link: https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/associates/join

Beneficial to Roz designz clients is that once I put the bookstore/store codes on your website, all other transactions are made through your PC. All updates to your online bookstore/store are your responsibility. You can change, rearrange, delete or add items anytime you wish. The changes you make will appear immediately after you refresh the page, which means no down time. Amazon.com provides a detailed help section that can answer any question you may have.



As you can see in this e-tip Amazon.com also offers various widgets that can be placed anywhere on a webpage. Theses widgets are customizable as well by choosing colors that match your website, like the one above from Roz's Home ><(((º> Bookshelf. Take note that if you refresh this page the books in the widget rotate. (items from your store only) The widget at the top of the page is static and stays the same. Any book or item can be chosen for the static widget.

I could rave on and on about how fun, simple and easy it is to set-up an online store but hey, why not see for yourself?
