    This is how I usually do:

    1. I research what is is hot on amazon. I go to category that I like and I sort items by "bestselling".

    2. After I find something that I like, I make keyword research around that item (ex. coffee maker). I usually choose keywords that have enough searches but not that much competition or at least wick competition. I choose main keyword (ex. coffee maker reviews) and few other relevant keywords that are interesting. I call them category keywords (ex. capresso coffee maker, commercial coffee maker, senseo coffee maker,...). I try to pick more "buying keywords", like specific brand name keywords or model keywords. This keyword have more buying traffic, because visitors already know what they want, they just need more info or they want to find item online to buy it.

    3. I buy domain with main keyword in it (ex. coffeemakerreviews101.com) and I build blog around main keyword. I usually make item review site or item information site.

    4. I write articles optimized around main keyword and category keywords or item reviews also optimized on main or category keywords.

    5. I try to drive traffic to my site using social sites, article marketing and other free traffic methods.

    This is it. Good luck with your business.

    What PixelHut suggested is what I have done to mixed success. The more time I spend on keyword research the better my end result. Keywords with the right amount of competition and searches, good content reviews, and lots of backlinks = sales.... Usually.

    There are several ways how to make money with Amazon:

    Following systems are ordered from easiest to the most difficult

    1. Simply add link or picture with link into your article or a content page.
    Just review anything you can buy on Amazon:) and sell it at once.

    Sample: you can see two True Blood ocvers with affiliate links
    http://stargate-news.com/fantasy-news/true-blood-season-2-dvd-and-blu-ray-release-date.html

    2. Astore - Amazon shopping cart system - you can implement it into your site
    - I do not like Astore too much - this system do not generate new urls

    3. External Amazon script - Associate o Matic or something similar:
    - this allows you to create something looking like real store but content is driven from Amazon

    Sample:
    http://www.moviespeople.com/store/index.php

    4. Common ecommerce solution - customized to Amazon affiliate system
    Use any shopping cart system (VIrtuemart, Zencart, Presta Shop....)
    Get amazon xml, import it into your store ....you have several ways....directly as XML or you can convert it into csv....

    Sample: - Joomla+Virtuemart working as Amazon store

    It can be quite expensive to sell on amazon but one advantage it has over ebay is that you dont pay to list it only when it is sold, does anyone know if you can sell ebooks on amazon ?? if not the best place to sell an ebook ?

    Thanks

    its all about promotion, what i do is buy facebook ad vouchers for $5 for $100 worth, i buy like $50 worth and spend them on sending traffic to sites with an amazon product on, sales page and intergrated adsense, you need to promote your website before getting sales to it so you need to spend a few dimes on promotion

    Driving targeted traffic is the key here. I make a lot of sales on amazon driving traffic from small blog about some fetish. Conversion ratio for this month on this site is 5.05% - 16 sales so far. Tip for today: sale something they want and not something they need.
