Congrats on success tinle!
I'd like to clarify about your mini social site and e-commerce site. How exactly do you drive traffic from one to another?
Easy as hell! Just blast promote the ecommerce on the social site. I even put a big fat SHOP button on the main menu which links directly to my store. Moreover, in each voting thread, I will suggest visitors that they can get what they like from my store. Kaching! Ofcourse it doesn't end right there or I'll never earn that much, but I can't betray myself to reveal it here.
Congrats on success tinle!
And another thing, when they are buying from your e-commerce site, all the payments go through your own website, without redirecting them to Amazon site?
Not many people know about Amazon Advertising API I suppose. Once they buy stuff from my store, the products will be added directly to Amazon's cart via AWS interface. I don't use links. API gives you 90 days cookie
