What would you do
A few years ago I bought into what was called build your own amazon store. Once again the glitter and glamour dulled my focus. How could I go wrong. Five pre-built Amazon stores with a niche of my choice.
Well building these stores looked pretty basic. Plus they said they would build them for me. Yes, all included in this amazing price.
I was not part of WA at the time.
Well I picked my 5 niche's, and said well there you go Sir. Go ahead and build my 5 Amazon Stores. I did my part, I picked my niches, I purchased the domain, as per instructed. Now all I have to do is sit back while the construction of my five stores would be done for me.
Well the build was done in about two weeks, awesome I say to myself. Five beautiful Amazon stores tailored to my niches.
That was it.
Store fronts, some with canopies and all. So now what. Yes that was it. Well I tried doing what was supposed to be done as per tutorial. Uploading, getting affiliated with Amazon and following the instructions, but my stores just were not working. I even stuck a whole bunch of Amazom products in them. I had no idea how to monetize them and so on. I had been cut off.
They would make them into working stores and not just store fronts, for a fraction of the monies I would be making. Yeah, I have been a sucker for a while.
Well I struggled with trying to build my stores for about 3 months, and then just gave up. Yes I called it quits and decided to just forget about the whole thing. Just called it a bad experience and forgot about it.
Today I am asked If I want to renew my two domains. By the way there is nothing there.
Once again I have to appeal to my WA community to ask you. What would you do?
I did e-mail the hosting company asking about a name change, but have not got a reply yet. I have to say this hosting company was very patient and good with me. Nothing against them.
This is pretty much what the hosting company sent me. Whatever suggestions you have to offer will be appreciated and I thank you.

Stuck again,

Michael, my opinion.
Get rid of the second one. Too many dashes in the domain name.
As for the first one. Like u said, see what Jaaxy says. It would be interesting. I am thinking the competition may be too high.
But if you hang onto it is it going to be worth some money to someone else someday? If so you can sell it later.
And if you want to keep it then transfer it to WA before it renews Because you will have to pay a year when you move it.

Hi Laura,
I have decided not to renew.
Marion has mentioned a few great points. Amazon stores did show up on Jaaxy though to my surprise.
I have a hard enough time with my site here and it need a lot of work. I have to spend more time on it.
Jay, went through my site and pointed out quite a few things, like not having any internal links. Oh gosh, just remembered he mentioned I had spelled privacy wrong.
That is a biggie.
Thanks Laura,
Michael.
I am assuming that you are D9 solutions? If so bring them here to WA, if you want to keep them.
If you are an Amazon affiliate you get offered the opportunity to be an Influencer which then gives you a store anyway, in case you still wanted an Amazon store.
Hi Linda,
I was an Amazon affiliate but got booted out for lack of sales.
Thanks Linda,
Michael
I would keep at least the first domain and transfer it here and go hard out an create education "how to affiliate content":) and lead people here to WA for the best training ever.
A domain like that put together well could be very valuable even to flip later on.
Unless you don't really want them, I agree with Paula's suggestion to move them to WA. There generally is no cost to transfer a domain name and you have free hosting here. Nothing to lose and you can leave them sit.
Well another question would be since domain names need to be renewed where ever they are is you still might need to renew them here at WA.
Hmmm, what do you think Michael?
Are they worth the added costs now?
Or is it better to save your money for other things?
Best wishes on your choice.

Hi Mel,
I do not think those domain names would work. Just going to run it by Jaaxy see if they even show up.
Not sure about how to do the transfer also.
Thanks Mel
