How to Start a Site on Amazon.Com
The Amazon.com Associates program allows you to profit from promoting Amazon products, giving you a small percentage of any sales that result from your efforts. While you can incorporate features into an existing website, you can also create your own site, or "aStore," on Amazon.com. Anyone can sign up to create a standalone site or Web store with a valid Amazon username.
