In the recent posts, we discussed about
making money with an Amazon Affiliate program and
creating an Amazon aStore. In today’s post, I will discuss some techniques to promote an aStore which will help you bring some traffic to it and thus gives you an opportunity to make some money from your online aStore.
- First thing we can do is adding a link to our aStore from our existing list of blogs and websites we have. So it’s a good idea to create an aStore in a niche which is someway related to your websites and blogs if you have any.
- Make a list of Dofollow blogs and make valuable comments on those blogs with a link back to your aStore.
- Spend some time on Squidoo lenses and find some lens in a niche that your aStore exists and make comments there with a link-back to your online store. If your aStore is about Seo books, check the top 100 lenses in Seo & Affiliate Marketing category or make a search on Google with the terms like Seo site:squidoo.com or money site:Squidoo.com. And we can even think of creating a Squidoo lens to promote our aStore.
- Make a blog about your online store on Blogger or WordPress and drive traffic to it which will give good amount of traffic and back-links to your aStore. When we have large number of websites and blogs pointing to our aStore, we can expect some amount of traffic from Google.
- Submit in on Top web directories and search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN.
- If your aStore is about Seo/blogging, spend some time on webmaster and blogging forums like DP Forum, SitePoint, SeoChat or BoggerForum and spread your online store links there n your Signature and post area if relevant. And if your aStore deals with other niches, does some research work on Google to find some discussion forum in that niche.
- Write articles about the topics or products you are willing to sell through your aStore and submit them on best Ezine websites like EzineArticles.com, Americanchronicle.com, Articledashboard.com, Goarticles.com, Articlesbase.com etc
- Find some free classified websites in your niche and submit your Amazon aStore there. We can expect some good amount of traffic and links from classified websites to our online stores.
- Spread your aStore in Best social media websites like Digg, Delicious, Facebook, MySpace, Orkut etc
- Including a link from your all outgoing e-mails in your signature section is also a great idea to promote your online Store.
