In my experience, the best way to sell products using Amazon is to pick a niche and to build a blog/store around that niche.
If you spend time focusing on a link exchange, you can developing incoming links to your site, and improve your page rank all in one shot. Saves lots of time and has a significant impact on your overall marketing campaign. Plus, results are instant as new visitors start to come in from those new links. thanks, PuReWebDev
Just a quick note, if you really want to be successful contact this guy, he is awesome, and has done some work for me. You can check out what he did for me at www.prophotosales.com .
Quick way: PPC (adwords, YSM, Facebook ads) buy backlinks (TLA, etc) "Cheap but Slow" way: Blogwalking (no spam, but dont forget to have signature linked to your web) Submit Articles (submit related contents to "free article directory", with your url on it, for sure) Related video campaign (upload related video to youtube, metacafe, etc. dont forget to put your url watermark on it) Froogle (free submission, targeted visitor ) Opt-in email campaign Make e-books and give it for free (put your url on its content) SEO for real.. at least, it works for me..
Thanks for the advice, I've never really had good success with Amazon as I've only ever used CJ or Clickbank - good videos
