    Sorry I can't do this directly. We have direct-deposit set up for our
    store, and my business partner is a little squeamish about other people's
    money passing through our bank account. He would prefer if I helped you set
    up your own account totally separate from ours. However, it is as easy as
    1, 2, 3:

            1. Register at Amazon.com for the Associates Program to sell products.
    You can specify where they should mail checks, or give them bank account
    information to set up direct-deposit.
    <https://associates.amazon.com/exec/panama/associates/apply/>

            2. Login to your new amazon account to see how to make links. They will
    generate links for you to cut-and-paste to your site.
    <http://associates.amazon.com>

            3. Just cut-and-paste the html links into your website. You can generate
    links to specific books, whole topic areas, random ads within a topic area,
    or a search engine for books. They also sell videos, CDs, DVDs, games,
    toys, hardware, software, and other products, even though they are best
    known as a bookstore.

            Example of a full store of "books" on "Security" for "newstaff-20":

    <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/external-search?tag=newstaff-20&keyword=Stsof
    ecurity&mode=books>

            The HTML would look like: <a
    href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/external-search?tag=newstaff-20&keywchb@
    ord=Security&mode=books">The Security Book Store!</a>

    I can help you if you need help. I had just finished setting up the example
    Security store I showed you in just a few hours. I jazzed it up with our
    frame around the store, and our tabbed topic areas on the side. I even
    created the idea of passing the parameter after the URL so our store could
    sell any topic. However, the basic links straight to amazon will create a
    store for anybody.

    Excellent! Keep up the good work!
