    you first have to be affiliate member off amazon.

    then I think you will be able to create product links & widgets and insert them into posts through either free blog service.


    Wordpress might even let you place one in a sidebar. I know they will not let you have google adsense. Blogger will though.

    can someone else verify that for me?

    At the beginning of this month I went back through the last year or so worth of posts on a blogspot blog and looked for keywords in posts that would make sense to link to books, products, etc. It's been roughly a week. Lots of clickthroughs, not many immediate purchases. I'm hoping the number of purchases increases with people coming back to things by the end of the month.

    I'd drop the widgets if I were you.

    Yes. Although you might want to have your own domain name as they will ask for this during the associate signup.

    I don't think the free Wordpress allows affiliate links.

    WordPress.com (Which is different from WordPress. Please be sure to get your terms right.) allows a single affiliate link within the sidebar and does allow you to market an actual book (not an ebook) that you have written yourself but besides that, the answer is no.

    You can do it with the WordPress software from wordpress.org and on your own hosting.

    Go with the entry level hosting. The cheapest one will most likely cover all your needs.
    Probably best to go with someone like hostgator.

    I don`t know about Wordpress, but certainly on Blogspot you are allowed to use Amazon links.
