Does anybody here own an amazon shop? Does anybody KNOW someone who owns an amazon shop? Are they profitable?

I'm asking, because I've yet to see someone bring this up, and I'm somewhat interested in starting one. I've found a script that would make this very easy but I don't want to invest in buying the script+domain if it's not likely to get my ROI soon thereafter.

I remember ogresnet.com having a shop setup and it looked and worked extremely well, shame its no longer available. I think amazon shops can be a good source of income and pretty low maintenance, maybe worth really looking into it if you have the resources.

Hmmmm, let's get some more input.

Do you mean to actually sell your gear - or as purely an affiliate?

**Emerge** · 12-06-2006, 07:35 AM

Purely as an affiliate.

Is this even in the right forum?

I own one. www.blink182clothing.com , although I haven't advertised at all, only in my sig (in one relevant forum). So far there has only been about 3 sales in about a month. I'll post my results in a few months though since I'm going to market it a lot more soon.

EDIT: I almost forgot http://tickle-me-elmo.net/shop.php It's only sold 3 tickle me elmos, and a few other children stuff that wasn't worth a lot. Pure SE traffic. I'm sure it has potential.

Yes, please update us!

i run a few amazon affiliate stores as sections of a few of my websites, but the sales are so low that it is not worth mentioning.

**Emerge** · 12-12-2006, 02:24 AM

Well, how much traffic are you bringing to those stores?

I made some decent change on them back two-three years ago. I think the train has left the station on that kind of thing, though, for the most part. You might do well if you niche yourself in a creative way.
