    So I am planning on starting up an Amazon bookstore to sell books that I recommend and have read in the past. Does anyone have any tips on how to make it successful and how to market it. I am running it through my finance website http://stocksonwallstreet.net/ and plan on promoting one book a week along with having plenty other options. Please take a look at my current store below and tell me where I can improve and how to market it. Thanks

    First thing I'd be doing is getting rid of the Amazon aStore. If you can't get pages indexed in Google for your site, it will be difficult to get traffic.

    There are a few okay plugins for Amazon + WordPress. Look at:

    ReviewAzon
    phpzon
    WP Robot
    Shopping Pages by WP Robot

    If you're okay doing a bookstore outside of WordPress, there is a new store builder coming out called FreshAssociate.

    Then, blog, blog, blog. Search the book titles that come up in Google and see what key words people are using. Go to Yahoo! Answers and search the title there to see what people are talking about and asking.... blog about it!

    Best of luck!

    Like the suggestion, although I didn't do well with Amazon.

    Most affiliates fail because they give up too soon.
