What I liked best about this site was easy was you could choose your products. This is important because you want to sell products in your store that you know your customers are interested in which relate to your site. For example, I typed in treasure hunting in search box and it returned loads of products I could include from different sections e.g. books, toys, games, software etc etc. I then could choose whether to simply include them only or to draw special attention to any particular item. I could even include a personal review of a product!

Site traffic and usability is always important and Affinia provide various reports including detailed product page views, merchant referrals and of course commission earned. This is great because you can see which products are just taking up "shelf" space and remove them and replace them with other products all without ordering anything, carrying stock or spending money.

If you've been thinking about adding an on-line store to your site or want to find products that relate to your site only as I did with WWW Treasure Hunt site, take a look at Affinia.

Affinia understand importance of promoting your store and offer useful advice and tips on how to do this.

This is a first class service which I found easy to use and I know will be of enormous benefit to small business owner. I no longer have to worry about carrying stock, fulfilling orders and spending money. I have more time to focus on my core business whilst at same time earning money from my store and I have happy customers who can easily find products that they are interested in. I only wish I had found Affinia sooner.

If you have a good product of your own, you have potential to make a lot of money. First off, you get money from sale, not just a small commission. Secondly, you could have your own affiliate program and have others selling your product for you. However, in this method, you have headache of running show, keeping books, and all various responsibilities that come with fame and riches.

There are numerous affiliate programs out there. You have to be careful, though. Only associate with those programs that meet your personal standards. The main advantage to selling someone else's product is avoidance of responsibility and severe headaches. You just do some promoting, sell some products, get your monthly commission check, and do it all over again.

In making choices about what to do, one must consider what is right for individual. This is why I never take seriously advise from "experts". Each of us is a very distinct and unique individual. We are NOT alike. Therefore, what works for one, will not necessarily work for another. We each have to find where we fit in and are comfortable and then run with it.
