In my previous article, I talked about the Amazon Affiliate Program, which is a great way to make money by selling products. The best part is that it works across all niches and the rewards can be very generous if you do it well.
Now, in this question, I will deal with the most frequently asked question by new Amazon affiliates: “How do I create an Amazon affiliate link.”
Continuing from the previous tutorial, I will share how to create an affiliate link for a single product on Amazon. Now, I will assume that you have already signed up as an Amazon Associate, if you haven’t, you can sign up from here.
When someone clicks on your Amazon referral link and buys an item, you will earn money through Amazon online affiliate marketing. This also includes subsequent purchases.
Alternatively, log in to your Amazon affiliate link and browse directly to the Amazon website. At the top of every page, you will find the Amazon affiliate link generator, which will help you get Amazon affiliate links instantly.
Step-by-step guide to creating Amazon affiliate links:
Once your application is approved, log in to your Amazon Affiliate dashboard and go to any product page on the Amazon website. At the top of the page, you will see an option called "Amazon Associates site stripe".
Click Get Link > Text here
In the screenshot above, you can see how to get your affiliate link. If you are using a Store ID or Tracking ID for tracking, you can change that as well. (If you haven't started using a Store ID or Tracking ID yet, don't worry. We'll cover that in the next chapter.)
If you want to make any changes to the site stripping options, you can do so through your Amazon associated account. Below is the direct link to change the site stripping options.
Another way to create affiliate links for Amazon products:
The first option is the cleanest and quickest. There are other ways to create affiliate links for Amazon products, so let’s take a look at the other options.
Log into your Amazon Connect account and click on Product Links > Product Links:
On the next page, you have two options: Search for products or add the ASIN/ISBN code of a single product. I prefer the second one because it is faster. You can find more information about ASIN/ISBN codes here .
How to get the ASIN code for a single Amazon product?
Now, the first step is to find products that are relevant to your website/blog. You can directly go to the Amazon.com homepage and search for any product. Once you have found the product, go to the product details section. In this case, I will get the ASIN code for that product .
Get the Amazon affiliate link for this product:
Now we have the ASIN code of the product. Go to the Add Product Link page. (See Figure 1). Add the ASIN code of the product and click "Go". Refer to the figure below:
Click Get Link and you will be able to get a text link or image link that you can paste on your website.
