How To Set Up An Amazon Affiliate Store Using Associate-o-Matic
This is a video of myself setting up Associate-o-Matic on a web domain. After watching it, you’ll hopefully be able to set up your own Amazon affiliate stores, on your domains.
Please be aware that, prior to installing Associate o Matic, you need to have your own domain and hosting.
As this is the first time I’m using Camtasia Studio, and my first time when I record myself doing something, please excuse the small hesitations I’ve had a couple of times.
This affiliate store for Amazon Kindle ebooks can be viewed online at www.readerslounge.net, with only one change: I’ve removed the subcategories, because it seems that there is a glitch in Amazon for this category: all subcategories displayed exactly the same products. However, I’ve let them there in the video, so you can see how to include them, if you want.
If you want to promote Associate-o-Matic and to earn 20% commissions on any sales you generate from your websites, join Clixgalore via the small banner below:
Joining the affiliate program is free and it is not conditioned by your purchase of Associate-o-Matic. If you want, you can use the free version and still find ways to make money from the affiliate program, by promoting the software.

Very nice video. I’ve watched most of it and only have two comments to make:
1. The price for the full version is actually $99, not $97 as mentioned in the video.
2. A discussion of setting file permissions might be helpful to the first-time user, esp. as that seems to be a big stumbling block for many people who may not have much experience with doing that with files.
Otherwise, a nice primer.
Thank you for the comment. My mistake with the price. Nevertheless, speaking about the price, I can give you a hint to get it 20% cheaper: join the affiliate program (see details in the article) and buy via that link.
I’ll make a separate video for changing file permissions, as this one was already too long.
But who knows, maybe some readers will further promote AoM and bring you even more clients.
hi Simonne
Very nice video im glade i found your blog actually i was looking for script like that to build niche store and this one looks really good.
but i’v a question how you get traffic for your store except Clixgalore ? is there is any other methods you use?
Thanks

Thank you, Spidro. The traffic doesn’t come from Clixgalore. We build the shops based on the keyword research we’ve previously done: we try to find keywords with good traffic from SERPs and low competition. Then we build links to the shop: we submit to web directories, we write articles with links, we comment on blogs… and whenever we can, we try to use our main keyword as anchor for the links. Then we wait, and eventually, traffic comes from organic search.
hi Simonne
thanks for your replay, i already know that but what do you mean by promoting with Clixgalore
spidro’s last blog post..Effective Ways To Implement Project Management Solutions For Affiliate Marketing
If you want, you can tell other people about Associate-o-Matic, and if you convince them to buy the software via your affiliate link, you get 20% commission for each of them. In order for you to do this, you need to have an affiliate link, which you can obtain by joining Clixgalore.
Nice video! I have to get up to speed making such things myself. How long did it take you to make your first cut?
Best wishes,
Barbara

I think I’ve spent about 3-4 hours on doing the video. I’ve recorded the first 10 minutes about 6 times, until I figured out how to use Camtasia, and until I was able to make the sound loud enough. Once I got the microphone working, I recorded everything in one shoot (I’ve just pressed ‘Pause’ a couple of times because the cat jumped on my back).
You should definitely try it, too: it’s fun.

Hi Simone,
Very Informative video. I’m just about to try this one after doing Affilistore which I referred to your Affilistore Video a lot when I was configuring it. I blogged my journey into a six part series. LOL.
The price says Annual subscription. First year $99 and $20. Or do we pay a one time fee.
costa’s last blog post..Getting Targetted Traffic To Your Online Stores
Thanks Costa, I’m glad you found our videos useful. Make sure you have backups for your Affilistore sites. Ours were infected with malware recently and we had to reinstall everything.
For Associate-o-Matic we’ve chosen to pay the one time fee. Nevertheless, you can first go for the one month trial, to see if it is worth the money. Amazon has a low commission percentage and the cookies last only one day.

Great tutor..
thanks much,
but, I’ve got error when turn the site to SEO URL..
any advice ?
thanks.
Depending on how you want the URLs to appear, you need to select the corresponding set of rules from here: http://www.associate-o-matic.com/docs/doc_cp_seo.html then you need to include them in your .htaccess file.
Hi Simmone.

thank you all in advance.
if anyone has tutorial plz send to my email
tagged.01@hotmail.com

Hi Hairs,
If you want, you can go directly to http://ezmoneyon.net/associateomaticguide.swf and see the video. You need to have Adobe Flash Player installed in your browser for it to work. It’s free, just Google for it and follow the instructions.
One more thing to all readers: please note that starting with August 2009, AoM was modified as to comply with the new Amazon requirements for associates, so you’ll have to enter two codes from your Amazon account to make it work – just go to the official AOM site, they explain it very clearly.
Thanks for this great video! I learned a lot of it.
The only problem i have as a non-US resident is that the amount of ebooks for Kindle is very limited to 1500 and i can’t offer blogs at all.
I know this is a problem of author rigths and so, but i noticed that in your video you have access to the complete lot, so i guess you’re living in the States, or maybe there is a way to work around this? I really would like to know how this is done.
OhYeh, i already adapted my personal account on Amazon so i can buy everything they offer, icluding blogs! It’s very easy to do. Now i have to extend my shop…
Anyone has an idea?
I’m not living in the States, but I use the Amazon US store and I target the US market with my sites. When you join Amazon, they ask you to choose the country. You just have to choose US. Then, your ID will end in 20 (that’s the rule for US). As of getting paid, Amazon sends a check whenever one reaches $100 in their account, no matter if they are not US residents. Well, if you target your local market, then you’re right, the offer may be limited.
Oops, wrong url.. this one should work.
As you can see i’m only in the setup fase, so not much to see yet. I still have to make all the adaptions.
If its not possible to create a big Amazon store for Kindle books than i won’t bother adapting it. It’s useless than.
Thanks so much – I was looking at the control panel and screaming — very clear and useful
Thanks for your video. that’s very helpfull for me.
Hi, which one do you think is better: Associate-o-Matic or Reviewazon and why ?
I don’t know Reviewazon, sorry. I’ll take a look at it, then I’ll let you know what I think.
First of all, i want to thank you for useful video but unfortunately, the video can not be downloaded by visitor, my internet connection is very slow so i have to wait for along time to the end of this tutorial. please provide the visitor a video can be downloaded.
thanks for your video…
it’s very usefull..
and i have one website that using AOM…
now i want to know what is the best thing to get traffic?
thanks btw
Please update and write more, and please provide download your video…thanks.
Well, a video at last about the so confusing topic of installing an AOM store! But you didn’t mention things that are vital for beginners – what directory do you upload the files into? How do you set the permissions? And there’s some change required for the license file too.
I tried installing an AOM store into my domain, but haven’t been able to do so despite trying a zillion times. Everything is soooooo confusing! And the instructions given in their official site are certainly not for beginners.
Hi,
I was trying to do the setup as per your video. After transferring the Associate O matic trail 30days folder to fireftp, i didnt see my site name as per shown in your video ‘readersloung.net/admin.php’… not sure how i should go about doing it.. need your advise
I m looking forward to install in on my website.

Thanks again!
Dear Simone,
Please update your site…thanks.
