Hi there
I thought I could contribute a little to this forum by showing how I use Twitter to get me some sales on Amazon. Its pretty simple and I donno if some1 posted it here before but here it is:

1. Get Amazon Associates account
2. Get some Twitter accounts (the more the better actually, but to study this method you will need only one)
3. Get twitterfeed.com account.

You can see from here we're gonna be posting RSS feeds to Twitter. But where to get those RSS feeds? Now Amazon itself got some feeds, but they suck. They update rearely and every1 on Twitter posting these feeds. Well, you can try em out but there's a better solution.

shopsloop.com - site with alot of amazon products listed. But what we need from it is its RSS feed
_http://shopsloop.com/rssa=AmazonID-20
as you can see it is possible to add your Amazon Tracking ID and get a feed of products with your amazon affiliate links. Just replace your AmazonID-20 with your actual Amazon Tracking ID.

What this feed does is it returns 5 random products from shopsloop's database. This means feed updates each time you request it. This is pretty cool coz twitterfeed will tweet those items from the feed on Twitter non-stop.

So the method is - get a shopsloop RSS feed with your Amazon TrackingID, submit it to twitterfeed, authenticate your twitter accounts with twitterfeed so it can post tweets there.

Ok the method is clear, but there are few tips I would like to add:
- when you submit a feed to twitterfeed in the Advanced Settings choose it to post up to 5 new updates (default is 1)

- make twitterfeed Check for new posts every 30 mins (I think its default, but just to play safe..)

- so you see twitterfeed will not work faster then 5 tweets every 30 minutes. Twitter hourly limit allows you more then that (think its about 40-50 tweets per hour) so why not use it? You can submit 5 shopsloop feeds per 1 Twitter account. If more - you'll hit the limit. If less - well, there will be less tweets, so less sales for you.

- this tip is actually important! If you post a number of totally exact links of feeds to twitterfeed, like this:

_http://shopsloop.com/rssa=AmazonID-20
_http://shopsloop.com/rssa=AmazonID-20
_http://shopsloop.com/rssa=AmazonID-20

Then twitterfeed will think its the same feed and will update only first every 30 mins and think all the other feeds have the same content. This will result in posting duplicates tweets to Twitter.
The cool thing is that shopsloop allows you to make all your RSS feed to have unique links. Like this

_http://shopsloop.com/rssa32452345=AmazonID-20
_http://shopsloop.com/rssa23423423=AmazonID-20
_http://shopsloop.com/rssa678678=AmazonID-20

Notice random numbers in URLs. You can add any number (no other characters allowed) after rssa and have your feed URL unique, so twitterfeed will treat that feed right.


Well, now you know how to Amazon2Twitter
The beauty of this method is once you set it up it will work for you on autopilot providing you with some cashflow.
You will need at least 10 Twitter accounts to see 1-3 sales a day on Amazon. But the more - the better.

How will customers know about your tweets? They'll search for em in Twitter (so you might wanna check if your tweets are searchable. They should be unless Twitter somehow blacklisted your IP or smth). Plus many sites use Twitter as a source of content so I see some clicks coming from different sites. Google also indexes Twitter, so there is some traffic from Google as well. If you are willing to connect every Twitter account to a Yahoo Pulse acctount you will also see traffic from Bing and Yahoo.
I should also point out that shopsloop.com doesn't serve feeds completely free. Sometimes (i think its like every fifth link) they will replace your Amazon Tracking ID with theirs. But its still a very nice service, much better then amazon rss feeds.

Last but not least - shopsloop has also Japanese Amazon products - jp.shopsloop.com. The same rules apply to jp.shopsloop.com RSS feeds. Just add that jp. to your feed and you'll see Japanese products and links to Japanese Amazon. You will have to get new account at Japanese Amazon Associates tho.

Well, thx for reading this long post, hope it will help some1 out there seeking for money on the internetz
