I have just signed up with AW and paid my fiver, thought it would be easy with maybe a little help? not so....all I want to know is how do I make a shop window...or have I wasted my money.
It appears to be so difficult that you need to know a great deal about html or what ever, so much so you would probably make more money writting programs than being an affiliate, or am I missing something. I have a site using ZenCart and at least you get some sort of instructions.:mad:

A fiver to join AW that is then credited to your account, if you are approved.
Installation instructions are within your affiliate management area together with some basic info about SW and the API. It is fairly straightforward to get set up on some proper hosting but be warned - just installing SW 'out of the box' is not going to lead to an early retirement and incredible wealth. Making money with SW is in the skill used to change it to something that is not a duplicate of what everyone else is using (anyone, knowing any different will post, no doubt!).
AW creatives, widgets, etc can all be used on sites other than a SW installation ( you can use them there too! ). It is worth a fiver to get an insight into the affiliate world. My advice pick an area that interests you, find a merchant in that area, use a wordpress install on a keyword relevant domain, add some affiliate links to your blog and a few widgets / banners and see if you can earn a fiver by writing some unique content! If you can, rinse, repeat a few hundred times and retire OR get creative as you learn!

Really? Is that a new thing or something? It's been an awful long time since me and AW started our relationship...

The joining fee was done some time ago - must have been sometime in the last 5 years as it wasn't there 5 years ago!

I wasn't about to pay a fiver when we joined up. We'd just started a bizi, where on the breadline and that fiver could feed the kids for a month.
I just rang up and asked for it to be waived.
Apparantly, it's only there to put off the time wasters and spammers, which is why you get it back when your site is approved

That makes sense.
They should put it up to £50 in that case though, cause I can imagine the amount of time wasters must be pretty damn high, looking at how many people think they can simply stick ShopWindows up and make a fortune from it without any effort at all.
