Trying to ‘just sign up’ with Amazon Affiliate UK, proved to be not as straightforward as I hoped. After logging in and completing a form, I was told that it was only for US members. I eventually began the process again for UK affiliates and discovered options of paying £25/month, a free 30 day trial, Business Duo, etc.
While trying to progress, it seemed like I was repeatedly being forced back to the US site. I found this tiresome so I emailed their Tech Support and will apparently hear back in 2 days.
In the meantime I was also considering opening a new email account from my website. How easy will that be? What are the implications?
I simply emailed my web-hosting tech-support, explaining my plan, and they responded quickly with detailed instructions. I was set up in less than 30 minutes. It was almost embarrassingly easy. I TESTED IT! It works.
There were options for various additional email features, obviously paid for. However at this stage as I’m just starting out, I have gone with the free option and intend to review and upgrade in 30 days as necessary. Enhanced storage and security paid features will be useful eventually. They’re not expensive and should be tax-deductible.
Next step, to visit the amazon link with my new details.
