However the power of customization really comes out shining when you consider creating your own Amazon store layout. It is surprisingly simple and can make a great deal of difference. If you don’t feel technically able to create or customize your own layout, you can ask in the Fresh Store Builder forums and there are several 3rd party providers who can design a custom layout for you based on your specification.

What is stopping you from opening your own online store?

Have you been thinking about opening your own online store, but always felt like you were technically not quite able to figure out how to put the pieces together?

I may have a good news for you – it is called Fresh Store Builder.

There is a product on the market that will help you with creating a custom store selling Amazon products, will provide professional look using a set of custom layout themes and best of all – you can easily recoup the cost of the product in several days or weeks in the form of commission paid by Amazon for helping them sell their products.

The great thing about selling products from the Amazon inventory is the fact that you don’t have to deal with shipping, returns, stocking and re-stocking. You don’t need to worry about payments, credits, reimbursements. All you need to do is think of your favorite product line up (sometimes referred to as niche), design a store around it – pick the products and set them up in categories that makes sense to you and Amazon will take care of the rest.

Best of all – you may not have known this – Amazon will pay you commission not just on the products that people buy when they click on your link, they will also include anything those Amazon customers purchased  on Amazon website the same day. Just think of this – you sent them to Amazon with a link to a lipstick and they ended up buying a purse, pair of high heel shoes and a bunch of toys for their child, while you get paid referral commission on all of that. Sweet.

How to solve the unique product description problem

Many Amazon Affiliate Store owners discovered the hard way that using pre-packaged cookie cutter niche store scripts isn’t going to get them too far in the search results.

Usually the culprit can be found in duplicate content. Obviously all the product descriptions and sometimes even the product reviews that the script loads up for you from Amazon are already indexed and Google knows full well that you didn’t write them.

What to do?

Well – one way to work around that problem is to use cheap labor (odesk.com comes to mind) and slowly rewrite the product descriptions for the products you sell the most of.

However an easier and almost fully automated way is to run the text through a spinning engine such as The Best Spinner. It comes out very readable, yet it’s no longer duplicate when compared to the original and Google gives you a pass without you having to spend hours or hundreds of hours having to rewrite the content.

Do you have even better way to deal with unique product descriptions when designing your own Amazon Affiliate Store? Let us know if the comments bellow, we’d love to hear from you.

Fresh Store Builder wins the Amazon Affiliate Scripts Comparison

There are several software packages that simplify creating an Amazon Store (aStore).

One of the best choices is the software written by Carey Baird called Fresh Store Builder, which was recently (22nd November 2011) updated to version 2.4.1.

I first found out about this script when I saw a Flippa auction for an Amazon store that fetched surprisingly high number of bids and nice sum paid by the winning bidder. I realized the number of potentially profitable niches is almost endless and if I do my keyword research right, I can easily tap into this segment of the affiliate market.

What’s involved?

See this video showing the installation and customization of the store.

Here are some of my favorite Amazon Store layouts that can be customized.

By far the best script I’ve seen is the Fresh Store Builder created by Carey Baird. This guy knows what he’s doing, he created several small niche web stores in the last 3 years before he recently decided to open up his script to the public.

For a fairly reasonable one time fee you can get an unlimited license to create as many stores as you like.

One great benefit of the Fresh Store Builder is its optimization for the Search Engines. Not only is it SEO friendly, it will include all the metadata for on-page SEO to help you rank high in Google Search Engine results, bringing you more targeted customers.
