Dave Guindon, Chris Guthrie – AmaSuite 3 Latest (UPDATED)

Brief Summary:

AmaSuite 3 from Dave Guindon and Chris Guthrie contains three tools to help people make the most of the Amazon affiliate scheme. They are designed to help you research profitable keywords and products on Amazon, and – with the aid of the AmaSync plugin – build WordPress sites to generate affiliate commissions. Buyers also get access to two complete video courses, one on making money as an Amazon affiliate and the other on how to use the (self-hosted) WordPress platform.

What’s It All About?

AmaSuite 3 is aimed at anyone who would like to make money as an Amazon affiliate. As you may know, affiliates are in effect online commission salesmen. They promote products on behalf of merchants (such as Amazon) and receive commission for any orders generated via their links.

The Amazon affiliate programme (actually called Amazon Associates) is not one of the highest paying, but they have a huge range of products you can promote. Amazon is also a well known and trusted name, which means there are fewer barriers to overcome when making a sale.

AmaSuite 3 provides a set of tools for researching potentially profitable keywords to target and products to promote as an Amazon affiliate. They are Azon Keyword Generator, Azon Top 100 Analyzer, and Azon Product Inspector. You also get the AmaSync WordPress plugin you can use to easily create Amazon affiliate stores advertising any products you wish.

It also offers in-depth training, mainly in the form of videos, on all aspects of making money as an Amazon affiliate, especially through creating WordPress affiliate stores.

Do I Need Experience To Make This Work?

No special experience is required, as comprehensive training is provided. It will help if you have at least a basic knowledge of affiliate marketing, though.

How Much Money Do I Need To Get Started?

There are no costs other than the product itself.

How Much Money Can I Make?

Amazon does not pay massive commissions. They start at 5%, rising to 15% for some products. By comparison, other affiliate platforms (e.g. ClickBank) pay up to 75% on sales.

On the other hand, one big advantage of partnering with Amazon is that you get commission on all purchases made by a customer following your link, and many people make multiple purchases (the Amazon store is cleverly designed to encourage this). In the run-up to Christmas especially, people may spend hundreds of pounds at Amazon, and if they arrive there via your link you will get commission on all of this (so long as the orders are placed within 24 hours).

How Much Time Will I Need To Make This Work?

The software is quite user-friendly, but obviously it will take a few hours – maybe days – to get fully up to speed. Likewise, the video training will take several hours to work through, though you may not want or need to watch it all.

Researching and setting up a WordPress Amazon site using the AmaSync plugin will maybe take a day or two, and after that you will need to promote it to build up your visitor numbers. This could be done in an hour or so a day.

You could therefore be up and running with a WordPress Amazon affiliate store within a week, but obviously the more time you put in, the greater the benefits (and profits) you are likely to enjoy.

Will I Need Any Equipment To Do This?

Just a computer with an internet connection.

Value For Money?

Yes.

Does It Live Up To The Claims In The Promotion?

Again, I would say so. The sales page sets out what the product has to offer quite clearly. Yes, there is a degree of copywriter’s hype, but no more than you would expect for a product of this nature.

Quality of Customer Service:

Good. An email query was answered with the required information within a couple of hours.

Review

AmaSuite 3 is sold via JVZoo. While in general I like this platform, their one drawback for buyers is that (unlike ClickBank) they won’t handle refund requests, so you have to rely on the vendor for this. On past experience with these vendors I doubt if that would be a problem, but it’s still something to bear in mind.

There are two attempted upsells with AmaSuite 3. As I had reviewer access to the main product only, I can only tell you a little about these. The first (costing $47) is a WordPress bundle containing a theme for creating Amazon sites and three additional plugins. The second is WordPress software membership, which gives you access to a growing library of WP plugins. This is priced at $27 a month.

If you’re keen on using WordPress to build your Amazon sites these offers may be worth considering, but they are definitely not essential. There are free themes and plugins included as bonuses with the main product. You can also buy the upsells later if you wish.

Once you have bought AmaSuite 3 you get access to the members area, from which you can download the software and access the training and other bonuses. The members area is well designed and professional-looking (as indeed is this whole product).

Once you have downloaded and installed the software tools – an easy task – you have to request an activation code to use them. Thankfully this turned out to be straightforward as well, with my code arriving by email almost instantly. A single code works for all three tools, and you only have to enter it the first time you use the product concerned.

All the tools can be set to work with Amazon UK and/or Amazon.com. The first one, Keyword Generator, uses Amazon’s search suggestion tool to show you the most popular searches for any given keyword/s. If you enter “Panasonic”, say, it will reveal the most popular searches beginning Panasonic 0, then Panasonic 1, Panasonic 2, and so on, followed by Panasonic A and the rest of the alphabet. For example, the most popular search query for Panasonic M is Panasonic Microwave, followed by Panasonic MC-CG937 (a canister vacuum cleaner), and so on. You could use this data to help identify popular search terms (and products) to target in a marketing campaign.

The other two tools are arguably even more useful. As the name indicates, Top 100 Analyzer shows you the most popular products across Amazon. You can set it to show Best Sellers, Hot New Releases, Movers and Shakers (products climbing in popularity), Most Gifted, and Most Wished For. You can also filter, analyze, and arrange the results in various ways. For example, you can set it to show only items offering more than a certain level of commission and/or with a minimum discount (say 20 percent). Clicking on any product name in the results will take you to the relevant sales page on Amazon.

Product Inspector is another tool for researching products to promote on Amazon. Enter your choice of keyword (or words) and it will display products that include that term in their title or description. Again, results can be filtered, analyzed and arranged as you wish. Both Top 100 Analyzer and Product Inspector would be great for researching specific products to promote.

The other main item you get with AmaSuite 3 is the AmaSync WordPress plugin. Unlike the other three tools this is not Windows software, but rather a WordPress plugin. It is designed for use in conjunction with Top 100 Analyzer and Product Inspector.

The two tools mentioned both have the capacity to export the ASINs (Amazon product identifiers) of any items you select into a plain text file. This can then be imported into the AmaSync plugin, which will automatically create one post per item. This post will feature the relevant product title, image, price and (in most cases) description from Amazon. Naturally, your affiliate code will also be incorporated. You can either post this “as is” or edit it first (which is recommended).

I was impressed with the AmaSync plugin, which (unlike some I could mention) I found easy to install and configure. You will need to enter your Amazon affiliate ID and also Amazon API code, but links and help videos are provided if you need them. Once you have done this, you could potentially create an Amazon WordPress store stocked as you wish in a very short time.

You also get two bonus video training courses. The first is a ten-module course on how to make money as an Amazon affiliate by Chris Guthrie. This focuses on building Amazon affiliate websites, specifically using WordPress. Advice on making the most of AmaSuite 3 to research and populate your site is, of course, included.

There is also a comprehensive WordPress video training course, which covers everything you need to know to make use of this popular platform, even if you are completely new to it. There are seven main modules in this course, which contains 159 videos in all.

Various other bonuses are on offer too, including an eye-opening report by Chris Guthrie on the top seventeen ways he makes money on Amazon. I picked up some excellent tips from this that I will definitely be putting into action myself.

Overall, I was highly impressed with AmaSuite 3. If you’re serious about making money as an Amazon affiliate, and willing to put some work in to make it happen, AmaSuite 3 will undoubtedly prove a valuable resource for you.

I was impressed with Dave Guindon’s earlier product KD Suite and in my view AmaSuite 3 builds on the lessons he learned from that. It is a highly professional, multi-featured product that should provide you with all the tools and training you need to make a growing income as an Amazon affiliate.
