In “Add Amazon Widgets to Blogger and Add Money in Your Pocket”, How using just one Widget can make you money, and how using more widgets can make your wickedly rich~, Ter Scott shows you step by step how to take just one Amazon Widget and place it on your Blogger site. From this initial step, you can experiment with other widgets found on Amazon.com and use them to monetize your blogger blog, or other blogs and web sites. The reader can get continuing support at http://masterblogclass.blogspot.com/.
Here are the steps, yes right here in this blog post. However, if you want the step by step with the screen shots, you’ll need to buy it for the low price of only 99 cents at www.amazon.com. (Or, if you have attended Ter Scott’s Master Blog Class either in person or via the online purchase at www.terscott.com/blogability, you can get your free by emailing Ter Scott’s office at the email address given you in class or with your materials when ordered online).
Here are the steps to add an easy widget and offer some things from Amazon to sell to your readers.
- First let’s go to www.amazon.com. Either sign in, or sign up if you haven’t done so.
- Now scroll all the way to the bottom and you’ll see headings and click on
- “Make Money With Us”:
- For now, let’s find the widgets.
- Click on “Become an Affiliate”:
- Note the tabs at the top. Again, you’ll see many places you can go to, but let’s click on the Widgets tab.
- Click on the Carousel Widget.
- In the search box, add your key words or search phrase.
- Click on the “add product” to move it from the left box to the right box. Continue to scroll down, adding a minimum of six, and a maximum of ten.
- Choose the blog where you’ll add this widget and open it in a separate web browser window. I’m making the assumption that you have a blog with blogger. If not, visit: www.blogger.com, create and account and voila, you’ve got yourself a blog. For more in-depth “how to do it” and profit, visit: www.terscott.com/blogability.
- Return to Amazon.com and continue to add the products to a maximum of ten.
- Click on “next step”.
- This will now open the widget options.
- I like the horizontal carousel Orientation option so I click on that if it’s not already there. This depends on which “add a gadget” element you choose in your blog; I’ve used both. To see an example of the horizontal option, visit: http://duluthmnlife.blogspot.com/.
- To see an example of the vertical carousel used, visit: http://www.attainmentrules.com/, a blog which I turned into website simply by purchasing a domain name and redirecting it to the blog address. If you’d like to know how to do that, watch for it at the http://masterblogclass.blogspot.com/.
- Scroll down and click on “next step”:
- Now, you click on “add to my web page”
- Click on the “copy” button and everything will become “highlighted” which means you’ve captured the HTML code
- Open another window in your web browser and log in to Blogger if you are not there already.
- Find your blog that you want to add this carousel widget, and click on “design”. This opens the workable area template that has all the changeable elements.
- Click on the “add a gadget” at the top center (this will accommodate the “horizontal carousel” widget) which opens the gadget options box, scroll down until you find the HTML box, and click on it:
- When it opens, paste the HTML code that was captured, into the box (I choose to leave the “title” area blank which is optional):
- then click save and voila, the box closes and it should now be on the blog. Let’s go and see!
Ah yes, a beautiful Amazon Widget for my readers to enjoy is attractively displayed. It looks great and maybe I’ll make a few sales. So these are the steps but just for 99 cents you can find it all in living color and with more detail by yours truly by placing the title or simply Ter Scott in the search bar at http://www.amazon.com/.
If you aren’t a Master Blog Class student, and don’t have the Master Blog Materials yet, no worries, in this new Kindle edition available at http://www.amazon.com/ and using “Ter Scott” in the search box, you’ll still get all you need to know on how to add one such Amazon Widget to your Blogger site. Both Amazon and Blogger can take some time to “learn” and “tweak” to your liking and to profit. Please give it time; just spend a little time in each daily.
