Amazon Nifty CPanel?
TLDR;
Here's a summary of what it does for you:- π° Makes it as easy as possible for you to earn revenue as an Amazon affiliate
- π Choose any of Amazon's Best-Seller lists as the source for products
- π£ Use individual product sharing to share them - supported popular places are:
- Pinterest - the best revenue generator (yours must be a business account).
Remember, Pinterest actually wants you to pin lots! - Twitter - good place to generate revenue, if you have the followers
- Facebook - good for your business page, much less so for ordinary shares
- Google Plus - as per their terms of service, don't forget to declare it's an ad (use Ad: at the start and you'll be fine)
- ✂ Instead of sharing, you can get copy-and-paste code for your blog / website for various widgets. Choose how you want to showcase the products with these widgets:
- product grid (css and html )
- real-time* product (javascript, css and html)
- sliders (css and html)
- scrollers (css and html)
- real-time* slideshows (javascript, css and html)

Tips
⚡ Tip one: When you see how quick it is to do a page of twenty, you'll be tempted to do the next page of twenty, and then the next etc.If that's what you're going to do, you have to take into account that Amazon updates their best sellers hourly. By chance, unless you take steps, you'll finish pinning all twenty and then move onto the next while Amazon is doing its update. π
You could end up repinning something you've already pinned or missing something that jumped so high in popularity that it moved to an earlier page. π«
To get round it, in Step 2 when you tap/click the Pinterest link to open the new window, immediately go back to Step 1 and change the page number to 2. Then click the Pinterest link in Step 2 again to open another new tab/window (set up with page 2's products this time). π‘
Keep doing that while there are products available. You'll end up with as many new windows/tabs as there were pages of those best-sellers and, unless you're really, really unlucky, products won't have shifted around in the best-seller pages while you were getting each one. π
Now you can go through those new windows/tabs and pin away to your heart's content. π
⏳ Tip two: Expect to wait a few weeks for your first referral commissions to start coming through, it's all down to the best-sellers you choose, the boards you use, chance and hashtags. The more you pin and the more they get repinned, the quicker it should be, building up as more weeeks go by.
π Tip three: If you intend to share on other social media, think about setting up enough different affiliate ids in your Amazon account to cover them. That way, you can use a different one for each channel and see which are proving most effective.
π Tip four: Make sure you include in your Amazon account a link to each of your social media channels that you're going to use in this way.
