Hello everyone this is Anthony Montalbano with InternetRiot.com, and today I have got some real cool things I want to show you with Amazon.com. As we all know it's the holiday session. I am sure you have probably done your Christmas shopping. I like to do a lot my Christmas shopping on Amazon.com. One of the things I like to do is create a wish list, which I have done for many years, and then I just share my wish list and show people what I want to get, but today I am going to show you a newer feature that Amazon has recently released in the past few months, that has made it really easy to create like a online store, and you actually make money off of everything sold to your store. It's an affiliate system. If you are not familiar with affiliate system, you sell an items; you get part commission 5% or whatever. So Amazon has a huge affiliate system called Amazon Associates. It's awesome. You can do a lot of cool things with it, but one of the features I want to show you here is Amazon aStores, and what I am suggesting you do, is create an aStore of all of the items that you want, basically your wish list. So what you will do, is then share your little aStore with all of your friends and family. They can see what you want, they can make their purchases quick and easy right through Amazon. It has a shopping cart and so forth, right on your little aStore, your wish list. And every single thing that they buy for you, you actually get commission off of. I know it sounds kind of low, maybe you are just little wrong. But what you should do, it shouldn't be an option seriously. With her money you do make from your friends and your family, turn that back around, and use that to get them gifts, because they deserve it, and this is the time of giving them. This is just a way to use Amazon.com, their tools. Make a little bit of money. It's not really to make money, to help you maybe buy a little bit nicer digital camera. So that camera is $150. Well, now don't feel bad to spend a $180, because you may get a little bit commission off of your friends and family from the gifts that they bought you. It's definitely a different kind of set I am kind of throwing around here, but I don't really think there is anything wrong with doing this, and it's just -- you know what, this is Christmas time. I am excited. I want to create myself a aStore, and share it with my friends and family. And you know what, yeah, I am going to spend a little bit of extra money on them for Christmas. So let's just do a quick overview on how this works. Here we are at Amazon.com. I am going to go to Amazon.com/associates, and you should be brought to a page you see right here. We are going to click on the aStore, this tab up here at the top. Then we are going to click on Add an aStore and then I am just going to call it anthonychristmas. That's cool. Now here I am going to create some categories. So say for instance, some books that I would like. So I will just say, Books, Add individual products, OK. Do something really quick here. Alright, cool. I added a couple of books. Let's just go back to Category pages. Let's just create category, say I want to do some CDs that I would like. Right to categories pages, OK. So I have done some Books, CDs, DVDs, I am sure you have other categories you would like to do. Whatever, just take some time, build a wish list, things that you would like. Click Continue. I could choose a theme here. I am just going to do like a red and gray look, Christmas look actions here. You can change around it, if you want to customize it. That's fine. You give a name, so I am going to call Anthony's Christmas List. It looks good to me. Let's continue. I am just going to leave at the navigation, actually let's just move on the left-hand side here, and this looks good. If you want to use more customization, I am just going to leave this. I will do Finish, and get link. Here is my link to my store, and here we are. Look at this. We have Anthony's Christmas List. You can see everything I am looking for. On the left-hand side you have categories, your books, your CDs, your DVDs, and let's say they want to buy this for me, they can click on it, add to shopping cart. Here is their shopping cart, Proceed to checkout, buy it. So here's a cool thing you can do with Amazon.com, the version 2.0 of Christmas Wish List, I guess, or however you want to look at Amazon wish list. I guess it is like my version there. A cooler way of setting up for your friends and family. You have a direct link, it looks cool. They can see everything you want. They can see it all categorized, and then they can go through and give what they want. You make some money. You get some commission. You take that money to around buy them some stuff, and it's a win-win-win. So go create yourself an Amazon aStore, put together your Christmas wish list, and have a Merry Christmas. It's all I have for you. Anthony Montalbano, InternetRiot.com. See you soon.
