Introduction
Are you making the kind of money you want? Do you have a thriving business online that is giving you six figures or more a year? It would be great if you knew that you had money coming in, especially from multiple streams of income each month. Did you know there is a way IRU\RXWRPDNHDORWRIVWHDG\LQFRPHDQGLWUHDOO\LVQ¶WWKDWKDUGWR get started?
7KHUHDUHPDQ\SHRSOHWKDWZRUNDGD\MREDQGFDQ¶WVtand it. They are grossly underpaid, or are tired of working for someone else. If you are one of these people that want to start your own business, and do it online, you are among many that also had the same dream. Getting online is not hard to do, you just need an Internet connection. But what kind of business would you start?
Do you know there are many business people, entrepreneurs, and marketers, that wanted to make more money, and went online to get it. They were able to make more money by going after one type of business. They chose to use Amazon as the means to make money. You may be surprised to read this. Perhaps you spend a number of years buying products from Amazon, but never thought about using the system to make money. Many people actually thought like you as well, until they investigated and found that they could make money online with Amazon. You can make money with Amazon as well.
94 Reservoir Park Dr, Rockland, MA 02370 www.InsiderOnlineSecrets.com 1800-554-8495
Just how can you make money with Amazon? Amazon has many different programs available that you can sign up and work. By taking advantage of these different programs, you can actually make a ton of cash, if you work the programs properly. There are five programs that Amazon provides. These programs have been known to provide those that joined them a ton of money. In some cases this money was made within a short time.
If you want to be a part of the thousands of people that made money with Amazon, it is time to get involved with a guaranteed system. Almost everyone knows Amazon and its reputation. People know how Amazon makes money every day. Those that have accounts with Amazon, also make a lot of money with them.
If you ever go to Amazon and look up a product, you just may notice you can get the same product from other vendors. These vendors are business people, stores, entrepreneurs, or other people, that have the same product and are trying to sell theirs on Amazon as well. Most of the time the price of the products these vendors sell are cheaper than what Amazon sells the same products for.
The five programs that you can join to make you a ton of money are: x Starting Your Own Store
x Become an Amazon Affiliate x Joining Fulfillment by Amazon
x Promoting and Selling Your Products using Advantage x Building Your Own Amazon Webstore
94 Reservoir Park Dr, Rockland, MA 02370 www.InsiderOnlineSecrets.com 1800-554-8495
Each one of these programs has its advantages and disadvantages. The bottom line is that if you sign up with each program and work the programs properly, you can make a ton of money.
Okay but how do I learn about these programs? That is the easy part. Over the course of several pages, you will learn what you have to do in order to get into each program. There will be five lessons in all. Each lesson will cover a different program. Along with the discussion of the program, you will be presented with activities to perform, as well as a test to confirm what you retained.
With each lesson, you will be taken through the entire process from beginning to end. Each program will be explained to you fully. There will be screenshots in certain locations. Also, questions will be asked along the way. These questions will be more rhetorical in nature. They will be referred to as Points to Ponder. Each question may be a
question, comment, or scenario. The main purpose is to test to see how you would think of the answer.
'RQ¶WZDVWHWLPHWU\LQJWRPDNHPRQH\RQOLQHZKHQ,DPSUHVHQWLQJ to you a way for you to do so. Everything will be explained so you don¶WKDYHWRWRXJKLWRXW

Lesson 1-How to Start Your Own Amazon Store
Learn how to create your own store on Amazon. This lesson will provide step-by-step how to get started with your store, how to set it up, and how to get paid. By the time
you complete this lesson, you will have created your own Amazon store.
What is Amazon?
Up till now you may have thought of Amazon as strictly a site that sells books. In most part, this is what Amazon was when it got started. However, as time went by, they began adding other items like appliances, computers, and items used around the home.
$PD]RQGLGQ¶WGRZHOODWILUVWEXWHYHQWXDOO\WKH\EHJDQPDNLQJ money. They even went public and sold stock. It took a few years, but Amazon finally began making profits. One day, Jeff Bezos, the owner, decided that he could make even more money if he had people help him sell stuff.
He created an affiliate program that really took off. ,¶OOJHWLQWRWKDW and how to get involved in a later lesson. Soon after implementing the affiliate program, Jeff realized that he could also make money letting vendors sell their products on his system. So he set up a system where people could sell their products on Amazon.
In time, many people took advantage of this method of selling their products, and before long, there were many people selling on Amazon. It was at that point that Jeff opened the door to allow people to sign
94 Reservoir Park Dr, Rockland, MA 02370 www.InsiderOnlineSecrets.com 1800-554-8495
up for a seller program. The standard seller program worked well, but KHZDVQ¶WPDNLQJPXFKPRQH\ZLWKLW6RKHFUHDWHGWKHSURIHVVLRQDO version where he would charge $39.99 to sign up. Now he had
something going.
As time went on, he soon established other methods of helping others make money on Amazon. These methods helped Jeff as well, because for every item vendors sold on amazon, he would get a certain
percentage of the sell price. So it was a win-win situation for him.
Points to Ponder
In your opinion, why did Jeff Bezos decide to
offer vendors so many programs that helped
them make money from his system?
The First Program
The first program that Amazon created was to allow vendors to sell WKHLURZQLWHPV7KH\VLPSO\UHIHUUHGWRLWDV³6HOO<RXU2ZQ6WXII´,I you only had up to 40 items to sell, you could list your items on
Amazon. You were only responsible for paying Amazon $.99 per sale and other selling fees.
94 Reservoir Park Dr, Rockland, MA 02370 www.InsiderOnlineSecrets.com 1800-554-8495
The way it works is simple. First you have to sign up as an individual seller, unless you already have an account with Amazon. In that case, all you would have to do is link your main account with your seller account.
Once you have your account established, just list the item you have for sale. There is a form to fill out. After you provide the title of the item, description, whether it is old or new, and the price you want, simply submit the info to Amazon. They will send you a reply back to your email, letting you know your item has been listed on their site, under the category you selected for your item. When a customer FRPHVDORQJDQGILQGVWKHLWHPWKH\ZDQWWKH\ZLOOVHH$PD]RQ¶V price and your price as well.

If you are a new member of Amazon, they will treat you special by providing you with a free trial to use their seller program.
When you do sign up and use Amazon to sell your products, you will have to establish a billing account, so Amazon will know where to send the money to when you sell your items. Once you get the confirmation
94 Reservoir Park Dr, Rockland, MA 02370 www.InsiderOnlineSecrets.com 1800-554-8495
by email that your item sold, you will have three business days to ship the item and notify the buyer your item was shipped. Amazon believes three days is enough time for you to pack up the item, take it to the post office, or call FedEx or UPS, depending how you ship it.
By the way, Amazon does credit your account the shipping so you GRQ¶WKDYHWRSD\WRVKLSWKHLWHP
Amazon has two ways you can sell your product. You can sign up to be just a seller if you are going to sell 40 items or less. If you are going to sell more than 40 items, Amazon gives you the option to sign up to be a professional seller.
Points to Ponder
Why do you think Amazon allows a seller up to
three business days to ship products that
customers purchased?
Sell Your Stuff
$VDVWDQGDUGVHOOHU$PD]RQGRHVQ¶WFKDUJH\RXIRUVHOOLQJ\RXULWHP until your item has been officially purchased. The fees Amazon takes out are deducted from the total before they send the amount to your bank.

As you go through the listing process, Amazon will request that you register to establish your seller account. Once you have completed your listing, it will go live in a matter of a few seconds.
To get started as a seller, you need to list your items for sale. There are four ZD\VWROLVW\RXULWHPV,I$PD]RQGRHVQ¶WFDUU\LW\RXFDQ¶W sell it.
1. Go to the main page at www.amazon.com and type in a keyword in the Search field to get started. This is how you can find items
corresponding to what you are selling.

This form can be located at or near the top of this page: http://www.amazon.com/gp/seller/sell-your-stuff.html/

3. You can click a button on the detail page (this is the page where you can see the item for sale) to sell the item listed.
This is an example of a detail page.
On this page, if you look to your far right, you will see a button where you can click to sell the same item you see on the detail page. Here is the button for the MP3 player in the image above:

If there are any items listed on this page that you have to sell, click the yellow button and fill out the information.
When your item sells, Amazon will send you an email with the subject OLQH³6ROG6KLS1RZ" This way you will know your item has sold and it is time to ship it. In the email, Amazon will usually provide a link to a page where you can download a receipt for the sale, or a printing label to place on the package. At that point, you just need to contact your delivery people and have it shipped out.
Points to Ponder
Why does Amazon provide different methods
for you to list and sell your item on their
system, instead of simply providing a listing
page to go to from your profile page?
94 Reservoir Park Dr, Rockland, MA 02370 www.InsiderOnlineSecrets.com 1800-554-8495
Listing Your Item
It is time to learn how to list your item. For this section, the easiest way to list your item is to take the easy route to the form.
/HW¶Vgo to the main page: www.amazon.com. It will make it easier and faster to show how to list your item.
Just enter in thHVHDUFKILHOGWKHNH\ZRUG³´,I\RXUDWKHUJRWR http://www.amazon.com/gp/seller/sell-your-stuff.html/ and use the form on this page that is your choice.
Start by entering a keyword into the search field. For this example, OHW¶VXVH. Enter 2012 LQWKH³6HDUFKE\WLWOHRUNH\ZRUGV: ILHOG´WKHQFOLFN6WDUWVHOOLQJ
A bunch of books will probably show up. You can look through the list to find one book that you have. For instance, if you bought a certain book at a bookstore, and you no longer want it, you can sell it on Amazon.
Pick the book you have presently and match it with one of the books RQWKHOLVW:KHQ\RXIRXQGWKHRQH\RXDUHORRNLQJIRUMXVWFOLFN³6HOO \RXUVKHUH´
If you know the ISBN number, you can also look up the book this way as well.

:KDWLI\RXGRQ¶WKDYHDbook? What if you have some other kind of item, like maybe a table lamp? In that case, take a look at the form DQGFOLFNWKHGRZQDUURZXQGHUWKH³6HOHFWSURGXFWFDWHJRU\´
You have a lot of categories to choose from. Since your item is a table lamp, you may want to click Kitchen & Housewares. If you get any results, compare what is shown on the screen to what you have and are selling. If they look alike, you can list it. If there are no items listed at all, go back and try another category.

For the sake of this example, and to demonstrate how to list an item, OHW¶Vgo with the book section on 2012.
There were a ton of results. I am going to go with the second listing as shown here:
,ZLOOFOLFN³6HOO\RXUV KHUH´QH[WWRWKHERRNE\(ULF-*DWHV When the selling page comes up, you will see there are six steps to complete. Before you begin filling in anything, look at the boxes to your right. You will find the product pricing details. These are the going prices for Amazon and other vendors. By placing these prices here, Amazon provides you a guide to follow when you are pricing your item.
Points to Ponder
Considering the way you can search for an item
to list, do you think that Amazon makes it easy
94 Reservoir Park Dr, Rockland, MA 02370 www.InsiderOnlineSecrets.com 1800-554-8495
for you to list your item, or do they make it
hard to do so?
Listing with an Account
If you have an account, listing your item will be easier. However, for the sake of this lesson, I will provide for you instructions on how to list your item with and without an account.
This section will be about listing with an account. The first thing you do is sign in to Amazon. Once signed in, you are now ready to list your item.
Here are the steps you have to follow in order:
1. Verify that the item shown on the page is the exact one you have to sell. You can verify the book listed by the picture or cover image, the ISBN number, the ASIN number, or the EAN number.
After looking at your book, you can confirm that they are both the same, go on to the next step.
2. Describe the condition of your item. You have to provide Amazon the condition of the book. You have the following choices: New, Used ± Like New, Used ± Very Good, Used ± Good, Used, and Acceptable.
94 Reservoir Park Dr, Rockland, MA 02370 www.InsiderOnlineSecrets.com 1800-554-8495
Although the next field is not required, you may want to provide a short description of what is wrong with the book. For example, if the book is used, does it have marks on it, or bent pages?
3. Review your price. Here is where you can review the lowest price acceptable on Amazon. Sometimes there will be no low price listed. If your book is new, a low price plus shipping is shown. You can either accept that price, or choose your own.
/HW¶VVD\IRUWKLVH[DPSOHZHZLOOJRZLWK8VHG± Very Good. There is no low price to review. So you can skip this part and go on to number four.
4. Enter the price you want for your product. It is in this step you are granted to price your book the way you see fit. Careful though. Keep in mind the list price and the prices your competitors show. If
VRPHRQHVHHV\RXUSULFHLVORZHUWKDQ$PD]RQ¶VEXWKLJKHUWKDQ\RXU competitors, they may select the other vendors instead of yours. So keep your price lower than your competition, if possible.
For this example, I will list the price of my book at $11.50. When I looked at the Product Pricing Details block, I noticed the list price was $13.99. My competitRU¶VSULFHVZHUHHDFK6RE\SODFLQJP\ book at $11.50, I stand a better chance of making a sale.
$OVRGRQ¶WIRUJHW\RXUOLVWLQJZLOOVKRZ\RXUSULFHSOXVVKLSSLQJ charges, which to Amazon is $3.99.
94 Reservoir Park Dr, Rockland, MA 02370 www.InsiderOnlineSecrets.com 1800-554-8495
5. Enter the number of this item you plan to sell. What you will do here is provide the number of this item you are selling. Is it a one-time purchase, or do you have many of them in stock. In the quantity field, list the number of your item.
6. Select your shipping method. Once you get to this point, you will have a number of options to ship your item. You can choose a
standard shipping method. You have a choice of 4-14 business days or 3-5 business days.
If you want, you can choose expedited shipping. If you choose expedited shipping, Amazon gives you a credit of $6.99. You can choose 2-6 business days, or 1-3 business days. Other shipping options include two-day shipping, one-day shipping, international shipping, and expedited international shipping.
After you have decided on the speed of delivery, click Continue. On the next page, you will be presented with an overview of your selections. You can verify what you wrote. If you are satisfied with your
VHOHFWLRQV\RXFDQFOLFN³6XEPLW\RXUOLVWLQJ´DQGZLWKLQVHFRQGV\RXU item will be listed RQ$PD]RQ¶VVLWHIRUVDOH<Ru will get a confirmation email letting you know your item was listed successfully.
Points to Ponder
Looking at the steps toward listing your item,
94 Reservoir Park Dr, Rockland, MA 02370 www.InsiderOnlineSecrets.com 1800-554-8495
do you think that Amazon provides enough
thorough steps to get your item listed, or do
they request too much info?
Listing without an Account
Creating a listing without an account is almost the same as with an account. To list your item, go to www.amazon.com and type in search field a keyword that you want, based on the item you are looking for. /HW¶VXVHWKHVDPHH[DPSOHDVIRUWKHOLVWLQJZLWKDQDFFRXQW

To start with you will need to take the same steps as you did if you had an account. Those steps are repeated below:

Amazon will use your credit card to bill you for all listing fees.
The next page you will be taken to will be to verify your identity. This is where you will confirm your name, email, address, and credit card information. If everything looks good, Amazon will process this
information quickly and take you to a page where you can verify your listed item. Once you confirm your listing, Amazon will submit your

listing and place it in their system. You will get two emails. One email will be to confirm your registration. The other email will be to confirm your listing.
At this point you have completed your listing on Amazon. You just have to wait for someone to come along and buy it. Depending on how popular your item may be and the price you established for it, the time involved in selling your item may be a day, week, or a few days.
Amazon keeps your listing for a month. After that time, if your listing VWLOOKDVQ¶WVROG
Points to Ponder
Looking at the steps toward listing your item,
do you think that Amazon provides enough
thorough steps to get your item listed, or do
they request too much info?
Selling as a Professional
If you have 40 items or less, you can be a standard seller, but if you are planning to sell way more than 40 items, you must register as a professional.
94 Reservoir Park Dr, Rockland, MA 02370 www.InsiderOnlineSecrets.com 1800-554-8495
To register as a professional, you need to include your email address, password, and legal name of business. The fee to sign up for a
professional selling account is $39.99 per month plus selling fees. As I stated a few times in this lesson, if you already have an account with Amazon, just use your existing email address and password. However, if you rather use a different email address to keep your professional communication separate from your personal, there is a link right above the sign up form. Take a look at this image. It will provide you with the details you need.
To establish your professional account, you will need your business name, address, and contact information. You will need to have a valid credit card Amazon can use to charge your fees to each month. You also need to have a verifiable phone number, so you can be reached during the registration process. This is so Amazon can confirm that you are engaging in this business for you and no one else.
After you complete the entry screen, click "Continue" and you will be taken to a web page where you will enter your credit card information.
94 Reservoir Park Dr, Rockland, MA 02370 www.InsiderOnlineSecrets.com 1800-554-8495
The next page after that is where you will enter your phone number. After Amazon calls you, your registration will be complete.
What is the difference between a professional and standard account? With a standard account, you are only allowed to post up to 40 items. The cost for each item is only $.99 plus other selling fees. However, with a professional account, you will need to pay $39.99 per month, plus selling fees. But at least you can sell more than 40 items.
If you have a boat load of goods to sell each month, or you have a conventional store and want to sell your items on Amazon, you can go for the professional account. But if you have only a few items to sell, and only sell once in a while, you should just go with the standard account. It cost you no monthly fees. You just pay a small fee when you have sold the item.
Points to Ponder
By looking at both the standard and
professional seller accounts, why do you think
Amazon charges so much to provide you with
their professional account?
94 Reservoir Park Dr, Rockland, MA 02370 www.InsiderOnlineSecrets.com 1800-554-8495
Having a seller account is a great way to make extra money on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. All you need is the inventory and Amazon.

Points to Ponder
Why do you think that Amazon allows for you
to merge your affiliate account with any other
account you have with Amazon, if you do have
one? Why not just force you to create a new
account?
Whether you have associated your account with your present account or created a new account, you will need to go through a three-step process to officially get started.
Step One ± Your Account Information
The first step requires that you verify where your payments will be sent. You also need to verify who the payments will be made out to. Here is what this step looks like:

If Amazon finds a problem or issue, they will contact you. In the meantime, you now have access to the Associates Central 24 hours a day.
At this time, you will need to provide Amazon a way to get paid. You can provide Amazon with this information now or later. If you rather JLYHWKHPWKHLQIRQRZMXVWFOLFNWKH\HOORZ³6SHFLI\3D\PHQW0HWKRG 1RZ´EXWWRQDVVKRZQLQWKHimage on the next page.

Once you click the button, you will be taken straight to the Associates Central location where you can read the latest information about Amazon, and decide what products to promote, and so on.
You can be looking around and deciding what you wish to place on your website while you wait for that email to come declaring you are approved as an Amazon affiliate.
Points to Ponder
Looking at each step in the process, do you
think it is fair that Amazon requires so much
information from you regarding your website?
What to Expect
When you are officially approved as an affiliate you will be given access to many tools. Many of the tools available will help you get to

The great part about Amazon is that they will do everything they can to help you succeed as an affiliate. They know that when you are selling, they make money too.
There are currently thousands of affiliates scattered across the world selling for Amazon. One such affiliate claimed earnings of up to half a million dollars in one year. You can be a part of that to.
But what does Amazon hold in store for customers and their affiliates, especially for 2012 and onward. It is hard to say. Well, based on some projections, it appears that Amazon is on its way to making more money than in previous years.
Their publishing side ± the Kindle ± will see much more in publishing. In fact, Amazon has already sold more than five million Kindle Fire tablets in the last quarter of 2011. So far in 2012, the numbers are staggering, although not officially released yet. Amazon is actually creating a Kindle Fire with a bigger screen.

Here is what a typical Site Stripe looks like:
The Site Strip is the grey area at the top of the image.
Most affiliates will use the Site Stripe to navigate to any Amazon product page and capture the links from the page. Affiliates have also used the toolbar to create a slideshow E\DGGLQJSURGXFWVWR$PD]RQ¶V

As an affiliate, you can also use the Site Stripe to promote a product directly on Twitter or Facebook and include a link directly to the Amazon product page.
Points to Ponder
Why do you think the Site Stripe was made
available for affiliates, instead of just offering
banner ads and links from a central location?
Product Links
As an affiliate, you will have access to product links. If you are
considering placing certain product advertisements on your web page, having a product link will help a great deal as it will get the visitor to $PD]RQ¶VSURGXFWSDJHVRWKHSURGXFWFDQEHSXUFKDVHG

You can also enhance your product links with reviews, or if you rather, you can use Easy Links. Amazon also provides you with promotional material that has been proven to create high conversions. If you rather, you can use announcement banners and place them on your web page.
Amazon does provide you with various ways to sell their products from your web page.
Here is a sample of using an image, text and images, and straight links to advertise a product on your web page.
You can use one or more than one of these customized product links to advertise a product on your web page. The main thing is to get people interested enough so they will click on the link or image, and go to the product page on Amazon.
