Amazon affiliate question...help!

2 replies
Sorry for the novice question, but I'm confused. I am going to use a plug-in for a niche word press website I'm making to sell Amazon products. The plug-in needs my Amazon access key and secret access key.

When I try to get them from Amazon, it needs me to sign up with AWS (Amazon Web Services). The AWS is page after page of confusing stuff. It breaks down fees and cost, storage fees, and some pretty technical lingo.

I just want my keys so I can make my little niche website and sell Amazon products on it. I'm afraid if I sign up with AWS, I'll be charged some crazy fees for who knows what. I'm just confused on what AWS is, and what the process is to get my access key and secret access key so I can use my plug-in.

I'm sure I'm making it more confusing than it is. I just want to know if I'll be charged by Amazon, because I see a lot of fee charts on the AWS sign up pages, and not sure what those are.

I hope this makes sense. Thanks a million.
Doug

    don't worry about the fees, they are only applicable if you are getting the service associated with the fee. The advertising key and secret key are free, just sign up and get them
