An Affiliate store is an ecommerce site that can be imbedded into an existing blog or Website (or generated using an automated affiliate store software system like datafeedr) and sells products from one or more suppliers.

The advantage of an Affiliate store vs a traditional ecommerce store is that YOU DON'T BUY THE INVENTORY!  You are marketing the products for the suppliers (you are their affiliate). When a customer clicks on an item to buy it it takes them to the suppliers site to complete the transaction.

You also get credit for any other items they buy while they are on that site.

But you never have to hold the inventory, pack and ship the item, deal with credit cards etc. BUILDING AN AFFILIATE STORE IS A SWEET DEAL! 

What are Data Feeds and how do they work?

Data Feeds are a file of information that is fed to a Website or blog. In the case of an affiliate store this file contains product pictures, descriptions and pricing. The supplier usually teams up with a data feed provider to get his product information in the right format. When you sign up with the supplier to be his affiliate you get access to the data feed to automatically sends the products and information that you want to sell to your Website or blog (THERE IS NEVER A COST with most affiliate programs so take it as a warning sign if someone trys to charge you to sell their products ads an affiliate!).

Data Feeds bring in content from suppliers that is relevant to the content and products you are promoting. As a result, you can greatly increase your traffic, your Website’s viability and the great thing is that placing data feeds onto your Website is easy to do.
