In the latest installment of “Anything To Make A Buck” I found a sale released today offering “Instant Amazon Stores” which is basically a set of website scripts with different niche topics where you add your Amazon affiliate ID and upload.
But the first question is….granted it’s only a few dollars (for now as it’s on a dimesale) but why would anyone seek out one of these sites you put up rather than just going directly to Amazon.com and searching for what they are looking for? Now, obviously you would be better served by having, say, a “weight loss blog” with some relevant info for readers and THEN have an Amazon Ad or Widget offering related products. You are not going to attract visitors by simply offering Amazon products when they can find all they’ll ever want to find at Amazon.com But if you are offering some relevant info like “how to count calories” or maybe “low fat recipes” you’d be more likely to grab someone’s attention and THEN interest them in a relevant book or product available at Amazon.
Honestly, for any one to offer you these as a valid way to earn Amazon Commissions by themselves, is doing you a disservice in my opinion and you really should consider asking for a refund.
But the most egregious thing about this offer is that it’s trying to sell you something that Amazon.com already gives you FREE! In fact…it even links to where you can get the Widget it’s using!!

You could just login to your Amazon Affilaite account and build your own widget that does the same thing (actually much more….read on…) and it’s 100% FREE! Not to mention, you can customize the keywords and/or products it displays which you would not be able to do with the pre-made sites with the pre-coded widget offered (unless you are experienced at coding anyway). And frankly, the Widget you’ll get FREE from Amazon is going to be more appealing and more readily recognized as something “Amazon.com” . Now I’ve created a particularly large Widget here for demonstration purposes, but you can build one’s with standard ad dimensions and specify columns, rows, products and more….

Do yourself a favor…when you want to earn commissions on any given niche, build yourself some blogs for free….get some relevant content via public domain for free and get your Amazon.com Widget for free! You can even find some really great PLR content for the blog for a very small investment. But, the bottom line is, these blogs and free or low cost resources will serve you better than some static html site which displays a pre-coded widget you can’t control.
UPDATE: It’s sad…but it appears that this marketer has found enough people that don’t KNOW ANY BETTER to justify launching a second set of these worthless “upload and earn” (figuratively that is…) sites. SAVE YOUR MONEY!
