Introducing my 101Blogstore

Starting an Affiliate Program Job with an Online Shop

First of all, I need to apologize to all my blog readers for being late during the past few days; exactly since my last post-publication dated the 5th of July.

Actually, there was some bad and good news concerning it:
Starting with the Bad News first— I've been missing from publishing another new post for more than two weeks ago—, yet the Good News is, I’ve been renovating my Blog in terms of content during this period.

Introducing my integrated e-store online and what to display and promote inside it

Introducing my new Blog Store: Choosing the right item

So... It was okay so far but what could I feature in this E-blog store? This was the main struggle that I faced in the first place, but that was easy to solve compared to the next thing to come. However, choosing among an extensive variety of selected items was effortless and handy due to the variety of open resources over the net. In fact, after making small research about what matters I found the proper answer: why not join an affiliate program for selling books online.

Architectural and General Designs-related books would be the right goal there, in addition to the eBooks category. The software-related domain is not to be forgotten as well, as is also a principal subject to target and very wide on various items.

Everything was easy so far, until comes the web design of the e-store page and all the stuff around! Knowing that I need it to be an integrated page inside my already existing and running Blog: was a nightmare for me as I am not an HTML Language Editor or an IT expert in general, ... until now!

Just to be fair and honest, I tried joining programs such as Shopify and others, but the problem there is that it should be totally independent of my blog; which is not what I wanted, in addition to that I will have a monthly fee to pay at a time that I don’t have a clear vision yet over the income that I could earn from such a project.

Furthermore, a must for any beginner in this online earnings platform is to be a free service at first, until we guarantee at least the expense revenues of the e-shop configuration settings. Even with the free 14 days trial offered or more, we cannot afford it for good, right?

Applying for the Appropriate Advertisers' Programs

So, to recapitulate, all that I wanted is a simple yet beautiful and easy-to-navigate webpage, integrated into my blogger (blogspot.com) template.

With the help of the professional site https://www.w3schools.com/ specialized in learning online HTML basics, I finally did it. With a clear method, this website was able from teaching me how to make just all the tutorials needed to build up the proper code of elements within a website or blog. With the help of practical exercises and helpful examples, you can master any function and save it for future use. Even with this indispensable help, the mission wasn’t a piece of cake after all!

Actually, I could repeat each step hundreds and hundreds of times to get my desired results.

Having in mind the interaction of codes within each other, the mission wasn’t promising to be easy as expected. Which was itself a big challenging thing and will take you to a world of complicated codes that needs a more professional kind of formulation.

And after hours of tries and attempts, I succeeded in the end and find the right design for my future store. Hurrah!... But the hard work didn't end here, and I am telling you the truth, for those who are planning to go further in this kind of investment in the future, take from a friendly side piece of advice as follows: "If you don’t have the goodwill and the patience to pursue this sort of job, don’t waste your time doing it!" Because it is not as easy as it seems, due to its need for updates regularly (...)

If I can say, I am now still at the beginning of my task, and that’s exactly why; it is not enough to fix the website design alone, but still, I need to add the items for the buyers to select from. In fact, I still need to add my collection of selected books that I divided into two categories so far:

The General  Architectural and Designs Books for the first one, and the Software PC-Related Books such as AutoCAD, 3ds Max Design, Photoshop, and other applications for the second category, we can find user manuals and guides to learn from. I am in a continuous search for new items that I can add later on to my favorite collection of books.

Anyway, in addition to what previously was said, and to vary the choices of the readers to choose from, I am searching for the right affiliate program that offers nice items related to home decorating and home furniture also.

I might find some interesting programs such as Aliexpress WW or Alibaba WW Affiliate that offer great deals for both buyers and promoters. So let us hope for the better!

What I need in fact, are really very specific items in that field; they should be with small or medium volume-sized entities, and easy to ship and manipulate somehow… Using this, I don’t want to get bothered by shipping goods that may bring inconvenience to the buyer, although I am not responsible for the package since I'm just an affiliate agent.

So better to stay on the safe side of all this disturbance and to promote some other simple items such as stylish chairs or stools, and some medium-sized sofas or divans.

Even more, I am not interested at the time being in promoting, for example, a set of dining-table with its relevant chairs components or a bed for a bedroom. I may change my mind later depending on how this first stage will perform.

There are many platforms available in the market today to help publishers in their tasks

Most of the advertisers’ programs allow the publishers to promote their provided affiliate links across social media networks and groups such as Facebook Groups, or better through their own website or blog...

That's all I wanted to share with you guys about my upcoming project experience. Hope that I was clear enough and helpful in describing it and the stages that I passed through completing it; please share your feedback in the comments below and with your friends. Waiting for your valuable suggestions as well. Enjoy your selections within my online shop!
