Needed:
Amazon feed driven customized e-commerce shopping cart software system,

Story:
I wanted to prepare a few affiliate sales for this Christmas in a very quick BUT still professional looking mode.

I decided to look for some products on Amazon, that I felt will have great sales during this season.

I needed a website that will take the Amazon feed and added the products to my own customized e-commerce shopping cart system.

Resources:
I found a few options; among them, the obvious Amazon’s aStore, but without any Google ‘LOVE’ built into it… I hoped to find something better and easier to build than my own html single product page websites.

Therefore I’ve chosen WordPress and happily went shopping around for themes or plugins to do the job. I needed a WordPress e-Commerce Theme or WordPress Plugin with Shopping Cart capabilities, but also with datafeed added products if possible.

Findings:
I stopped after reading a lot about this topic and decided to try two of the best looking WP shopping cart template themes, IMHO:

ShopperPress WP shopping cart theme

and

Market Theme WP shopping cart theme

for the moment, installing the first one.

I will keep you updated on my dealings with this and according to the time I’ve spent on it, I’ll write here my future findings.

Back to work now, my new ShopperPress Shopping Cart WordPress Theme is waiting to be installed…

But first I’ll go find a good new domain for my Amazon Store.

The opportunity — Get a Discount Coupon AND a Bonus
Rapid Action Profits version 3.1 released…
new features aka new benefits, too

Special Offer for my Template Genie customers only!

Rapid Action Profits script is a mature concept with regular updates and the most appraised technical support available all around the net.

Should I review it now for you?

No, not at all.

This is a promotion specifically targeted towards people who already know they want RAP but still waiting for a slight ‘push’ in the right direction.

Here it is, plain and simple:

A blatant affiliate advertisement promotion.

Mine:

There is only one week window of opportunity to get BOTH

• a $70 discount coupon when buying either RAP alone or bundled with the Member Plus, and PayPal Subscriptions Add-Ons (starting July 13, 2009 and valid for 7 full days only)

plus

• my leading software Template Genie ($47 current value) — designed to assist you in editing RAP’s templates to fit your current webpages and style — as a bonus

Two important things to remember:

First:
Whenever a new release happened, Sid Hale, creator of RAP, allowed current users and affiliates to promote the offer starting with a discount from the previous version of RAP… while after that price always increased.

Tip: Don’t wait! Take this opportunity NOW, HERE!

Later will be too late, of course.

Second:
Template Genie didn’t come up to the market as a futile piece of software to clutter your hard-disk. It was developed as a response to a very specific set of needs that many RAP users were expressing on the forum: "How to easily edit the RAP provided html templates and preserve all php tokens that RAP employs for its functionality"

If you’re a nerd/geek/whatever… smart, technically ahead of the rest 95% marketers using RAP, there is a chance you won’t need Template Genie, but it would still help you anyway.

But if you’re a normal person, or you simply want things to be done FAST and headacheless (in my own native Language, believe me, that IS a word… LOL) then you would definitely profit tremendously from using my software.

It tipically cuts your editing time in half at first use; for some people even many times more (check genuine real marketer’s testimonials on the salespage).

So, here’s the deal:

I am currently offering
Template Genie as a bonus for people buying RAP or RAP-MemberPlus bundle through my affiliate links.

If you came here and the discount week has ended, then THIS separate bonus will still be available.

However, starting for one week from July 13, 2009, there is also a $70 coupon – it will discount your main purchase price even more.

Double benefits, double profits, right?

Do not hesitate.
NOW is the right time! Always… never later…

It’s Good to Know: Twitter Tool Gadget – The Twitter Bakery

Finally, a genuinely Twitter Tool emerged, a valuable use for the social networking platform Twitter, with the help of a new gadget.

Using a small wireless device known as the BakerTweet, a London bakery
recently started sending out “tweets” to let customers know when its goodies were hitting the shelves.

Sample message: “Lovely loaves just out of the oven. Hurry.”
The bakery owners report that the tweeted items have been selling out within minutes.

Meanwhile, the creators of BakerTweet hope to extend coverage to other bakeries in the city.
It would be interesting to see the impact of the new Twitter Tool gadget on the market…
