Good quick video. I was hoping you would talk about affiliate link disclosures. I don't see any on your sample. I just signed up for the Amazon Affiliate link program, so I was researching the best way and where to display disclosures - that is what drove me to this video.
For Amazon links in particular, you need a disclosure similar to "As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases". Display wise - add it before any affiliate links are added in the article, but don't make it the first or second paragraph. I usually add it 3 paragraphs in in each blog post, and have it linked on the sidebar/footer as well. Does this help, or what other questions do you have around it?
@@TheSheApproach Hi Ana. I put it at the very top of the article with a slight purple background (my primary colors of the web site are purple) and it states "When you make a purchase through our links, we may earn commissions from Amazon and other retailers. You can learn more about our affiliate and privacy policy here (with here being a link to our privacy policy). I am working on the linking on the sidebar, but for some reason when the page drops below 600 pixels wide, my sidebar is disappearing instead of getting dropped to the bottom of the page like it is suppose to. And since about 85% of our web traffic is from mobile, I need to troubleshoot it and get it fixed. You know how computers are, they sometimes have a mind of their own and do what they want instead of what we want :)
I created a store on each of the Amazon country that are in One Link and linked them all in my account. I'm based in Australia. Do I create an affiliate link from the Australian Amazon site or the US?
You can do either - they should both redirect to the location of the user who clicks on them (unless they are hiding their location on purpose - in which case they will go to the initial link you used).
you won the victory. most people are bluffing us with woo-commerce affiliate website, in the end google is asking for Brand #,Brand, MPN & GTIN). while you have no where to get them since they are not your own products hence no google listing. buying their expensive plugin for no use and in the end Google won't index the website. Affilliate marketings are the target to Google with their stingy nonsense terms & condition.
Yes. But I sometimes find that the text+image gadget gets hidden by the adblocker, so you will want to add a text link as well nearby and anchor it to words if that makes sense.
Did you copy the first link? That is the one without the image. Try adding the HTML link for the image, and adding it into a specific HTML block, otherwise it won't show as it won't read the code.
You can link to any product they allow you to generate a link to, including any of their category pages. Just be transparent and don't lie that you've used a product if you haven't, as you don't want to ruin the trust you have with your readers.
I make 40% of my blogging income through affiliate sales, so no, it's not too late! Traffic is down for bloggers who have been hit by the Google update, but it's worth rebuilding and there's room for new affiliates. But you have to build worthwhile content, and not just promotional content!
@@DonnaAgrinsonis A combination of digital product sales (eBooks & courses, templates etc), sponsorships, ad income and coaching. I break it down in my income reports: thesheapproach.com/category/income-reports/
I do - but only for certain pages. Do not use Elementor for posts. Other that that, it doesn't slow down my website at all, as it replaces theme elements, and you can create really beautiful pages with it!
omg thank you. at last someone explains me how to move around images. Although, why don’t I get the option for the image and link. I only get the options of text and text+image. maybe it’s because they haven’t accepted me fully in as a amazon affiliate
So glad this helped! Hmmm... do you have the option for the text and link separately in your site stripe? I personally don't like the look of the text+image, but you should have the option.

Great question! You can embed affiliate links directly without plugins, but there are limitations - you can't display the price, the prime badge or the reviews. And showing them can often increase conversions. I use and love www.thesheapproach.com/lasso for my other blog and it's made a huge difference! Another plugin you can use is the thesheapproach.com/amalink one - which is better for comparison websites or posts. I could do a video comparing the two in the future if you find that useful.
Do you have the option when using Elementor to add the Amazon image of the product on the blog page to embed a clickable image that will redirect to Amazon to purchase the product? I hope my question makes sense?
@@TheSheApproach Thank you so much, Ana! Yes, the clickable image looks so much better visually and I'll make sure to have the disclaimer at the top of the blog page.
You always talk so fast, it’s hard to keep up. I wish this was helpful but I’m a beginner and I must have a different editor than you. Can you put instructions for both editors?
Hi Chantel. RUclips has a speed setting option where you can slow down the video a bit, in case that's helpful. If not, you might find the blog post version of this tutorial to be a bit more specific: thesheapproach.com/how-add-amazon-affiliate-links-images-wordpress-blog-posts/. What blog editor are you using? I can look into creating a specific tutorial for that one as well. Is it the old Wordpress editor, or are you on another blogging platform?
Not entirely sure how Koji works, but you should be able to add the normal links on there without the images. Worth checking with their support and ask how to integrate Amazon links.
Hi! I am from Italy and I would like to link a US account...however when I try to register for the US account I can't proceed because I have to enter a US address and a US bank account. Do you have any tips? :)
Don’t suppose you’ve tried the text&image link, I’ve been building a site with this, and the link seems to one minute link to product with image and the next minute it changes to Amazon Home page with orange home page image, hit refresh and it reverts back to product page. Any ideas on how to rectify this? Maybe it’s Google sites issue?
The image option has been retired from the Site Stripe. There are 2 new ways in which you can generate and grab the images as an affiliate > I show them both in this updated video: ruclips.net/video/lAWzpkxni2s/видео.htmlsi=JKNfYBgH634qjRHi
There is only the text option on my Site Stripe. No text+image or just image options. What is going on? I just joined. Do I have to wait to get the image option?
Amazon retired the image option from the Site Stripe in December - I have a more recent guide on it here: thesheapproach.com/amazon-site-stripe-images-update-api-fix/?
Hi Eventhough we select the large image type, The image is very small on the blog. How can we get a full resolution image from amazon? Also, I don't want to user to accidentally click the image and go away from the page. Is it OK if I edit the HTML code and remove the hyperlink associated with the image?
I think you can edit the back-end code to display the image in a larger size. (Look at the width and length pixels). But I wouldn’t remove the Amazon affiliate link. It’s kind of a rule that you can use those images because you are directing people back to Amazon. You can make sure that they open in a new tab instead if they don’t automatically.
How can you copy the link for other images of a product? Products on Amazon have more than one image. How could I copy the link for 2nd and 3rd images? Also, can you use amazon images as featured image?
Can you add your Amazon “lists” link to the milkshake app & still get commission if someone buys off your list OR do you have to individually add each item link to milkshake to get commission?
Yes - those affiliate links will still track sales. You can also link to categories/search pages/bestseller lists etc. If Site Stripe is generating a link for you, you are free to use it.
You can use free stock websites like Unsplash and Pixibay. I have more listed here: thesheapproach.com/free-stock-photos-online/. No need to contact them - the free images are free to use and download.
Thanks Ana. Lots of great info. I've just joined the affiliates links and am trying to learn all I can before putting on my YT channel. New subscriber. Thanks again, Alison Hood from Western Australia
So when I go to link the amazon affiliate link I'm not seeing any options to make it a sponsored link I don't see any of the 3 (no follow) (open in new link) or ( sponsored link) option is there a special plugin I need to have to see these options please someone help! I can't figure it out!
No special plugin required. The box should show up, but sometimes you have to add the link, then go back to "edit" it for the option to show up - as it's now under the edit pen icon now.
Make sure to watch the updated tutorial on this - ruclips.net/video/lAWzpkxni2s/видео.htmlsi=ZdDoxV4AMSS1MwnV. Amazon is retiring the Site Stripe image option (only links will work from the new year).
If I am a Canadian Affiliate, how can I change to become a US Affiliate? As a Canadian Affiliate I can't add other countries to my list of links. So, I can only sell in Canada. I understand if I was a US affiliate I could add other countries. Hope that makes sense.
You sign up to Amazon US affiliate separately, and connect the two accounts via the One Link setting. I have a video on it: ruclips.net/video/bZzfo3E-I2c/видео.html
I have a website and my blog is attached to it. I’m interested in getting an Amazon affiliate storefront. When I post a new blog it automatically sends an email to my subscribers let them know, so my question is if I have Amazon link’s attached to my blog and that is sent in the email can I get in trouble with Amazon?
Good question! It shouldn't - as usually your readers will get a snippet of the blog post, not the entire article. So if they have to click to read the article first, you are good.
The site stripe changed recently - I have an updated video on it which shows what you can do instead for images here: ruclips.net/video/S7kinemaeEw/видео.html&lc=Ugxwc-0GhsWLkL5y1yN4AaABAg
Not if you share it publicly. They do allow you to embed images via their site stripe image code or an authorised plugin like www.thesheapproach.com/lasso.
It's a recent development - I have a post on it here with what you need to do now to add images: thesheapproach.com/amazon-site-stripe-images-update-api-fix/?
Amazon removed the image option unfortunately. There are a few other ways to go about adding images now - which I share in this video: ruclips.net/video/lAWzpkxni2s/видео.htmlsi=8ThALppAuIrrecfV
It's 24 hours after someone clicks on the link, but it can be at anytime after you posted it. The individual clicks all trigger their own 24 hours window.
So happy that I have found your channel! I am a blogger and just signed up to Amazon and clueless! Can i ask one question pretty please? I am based in the UK but most of my readers are US based with some from the UK. So I have signed up to Amazon US and Amazon UK. I am unclear if i should always use the US links in my posts or do some posts with UK links and some with US? Or just stick with US only? Do people just get sent to their correct buying area? I am confused about this! Thanks!
Hi Amanda! You will want to use Amazon US links, but connect the two accounts via One Link (check out my tutorial on how to set that up here - ruclips.net/video/bZzfo3E-I2c/видео.html). That way, US traffic will see Amazon Com links and the UK readers will be taken to the UK marketplace (same for other countries if you sign up for those too). Hope this helps!
Amazon has retired that function. I've created an updated tutorial that shows how to grab images here - ruclips.net/video/S7kinemaeEw/видео.htmlsi=l_2O1A9gIL4ks6e5
Amazon has now retired the Site Stripe images. I made a video on it and how you can grab images here - ruclips.net/video/lAWzpkxni2s/видео.htmlsi=Ldb5vmKYusGw6JNZ
Hi, when I embed the link directly from amazon its appear very beautiful in the front end in term of looks but when I copy the link to custom HTML code it doesn't appear that I embedded first. Can you try it and tell me how to make their dimension like embedded link. For example, I have uploaded my article directly from ms word to my website through share option, the affiliate links in the aricle converted to images very attractive but when I copy the links from amzon and paste it in the custom HTML sectio n it wasn't that great.
Hi Zaid. Try copying the article from Word to document without the affiliate links, and then embedded the HTMLs provided by Amazon directly into Wordpress in the HTML box, or preview the whole article in HTML text and embedded it there, then move back to Preview. Adding columns can also help keep the images fixed in an article. (Or using an image + text on the side column set.) If it doesn’t work, can you provide some screenshots so I can see exactly what is causing it?
Puedo descargar imágenes de los productos de amazon directamente y utilizar beacons o link tree para hacer post con su respectivo link y redirigir a la gente al producto?
Hang it there! 190 clicks is a really good start. Review your products and their reviews to see if there are any reasons why people aren't buying. It's probably something to do with how relevant the product is to their needs. See if you can find better suggestions or continue growing your traffic and clicks.
hi ana thank you for the video. i got a question. are you familiar with milkshake app? it's basically a landing page. you can paste our affiliate links there but for the product image theres no html box unlike in blogs so the only option is to upload image directly from phone. i heard that you just cant download any amazon product image but what if we download only the cover photo (the first image) of any product? and make a list / catalogue products with these images? would that be counted as violation? thank you so much if u read this!
Not familiar with app you mentioned. And, as far as I know, you can't add Amazon affiliate links to apps, unless you have them listed on your Amazon affiliate account. I know some bloggers go around that rule and take screenshots of the products to add their links to, but it's risky.
An Amazon store is built through the Influencer program, not the affiliate one. So the process is different. In the mids of editing a video about that!
Hello Ana! This works for me only if I use the chrome browser. With edge the image doesn't come up. Even other people visiting my website, when using edge or duck duck go, the image is not visible. Do you have any advice? Thanks a lot and wish you a sunny sunday.
Hello! I looked into it, and Amazon and their servers seem to be at fault, because they are not 100% compatible. Here are a couple of options you can try: - Contact the Amazon affiliate team with examples and ask them for a concrete solution. They might have a go-around for specific browsers. - Make sure to add an link as anchor text nearby as well, so you don't miss out on affiliate sales if the images won't load. - Use a plugin to display Amazon images instead. I love and use www.theshapproach.com/lasso. They are super quick to fix any tech issues as well! Hope this helps!
Hi Ana, I'm coming up with a 'this image is empty alt attribute' error message when I insert the HTML. I've read in forums Amazon doesn't put in alt tags, how would we go about this, or can you direct me somewhere to fix this issue, please. Ty
Hello. That's a strange issue! Most of the time, if you use the custom HTML block, it picks up the information from the code. I think you are able to add the alt text attribute manually once you've inserted that. Found a quick tutorial for you with photos that walks you through: buildawellnessblog.com/add-amazon-affiliate-images-wordpress/. Let me know if the issue still persists!
Great question, haha. RUclips rolled out ads for channels that aren’t monetised yet in a recent update. In other words, they take the liberty of displaying ads but they don’t pay the creators anything. It’s just the cost of using their platforms. But as of now, I post and create all my videos for free!
You need to use a tool that uses Amazon's APIs (and that updates those automatically every 24 hours). I use and love Lasso > www.thesheapproach.com/Lasso. You can try them out for free for 14 days. In my opinion, if you have an affiliate website who heavily relies on Amazon, it's worth it!
Please see my newest video: ruclips.net/video/lAWzpkxni2s/видео.htmlsi=6MJIlbfe8FY_H6TR Amazon has removed the image option, and you need a third party plugin now to add images.
Hi Jessie. Try going into Amazon Associates for the relevant country, logging in, then going to Amazon as a shopper and log in via the same account. If you have multiple accounts, Site Stripe will only show under the relevant account.
dear, I am facing a problem in WordPress, as you are attaching an image in wp by clicking the + button and all options are on your way to go onward. i cant see that + button on my wp , i dont know where is that lost , is there need to install any plugin ?
Hi there. Nope - no plugin required. You just need to have your Wordpress updated to the latest version, and you'll automatically be using the Gutenberg editor that allows that. If you are still using the classic editor, you will need to view it in HTML (I show it towards the end of the video). Let me know if you still can't find the option.
@@TheSheApproach I watched the whole tutorial and nowhere does it show you how to do it in the classic editor. You said it was at the end of the video. Can you tell me how to do it in HTML? I don't have the + button either.
Hi there! You need to be monetized through the RUclips partner program first and meet the requirments for that. You'll find more info under the RUclips Studio > Monetization tab in your account. Good luck!
Hello Ana, thank you for all the helpful information. My question is can I add a affiliate products page to my existing Word press web site? I have tried to place products from Amazon to web site with no results. Thank You ! Jeff
Hi Jeff - yes, you absolutely can. Just use the site stripe to generate your link, copy it and insert it on your posts or pages where needed. You can attach it to anchor text or images.
Thank you! This is such a simple thing and I've been struggling to figure it out and so many of the other videos say to revert to the classic view. Your video was so quick and helpful.

Hello, Ana, can you give me the advice on how to get images for the gallery? Should I contact the supplier or on Shutterstock? Thx
You can use free stock websites like Unsplash and Pixibay. I have more listed here: thesheapproach.com/free-stock-photos-online/.
No need to contact them - the free images are free to use and download.
Thanks Ana. Lots of great info. I've just joined the affiliates links and am trying to learn all I can before putting on my YT channel. New subscriber. Thanks again, Alison Hood from Western Australia
You can do it! Glad this was helpful!
Do you have a video for instagram and TikTok Affiliate Marketing?
Not yet - but adding that to my suggestion list!
What would cause the image affiliate link to display on Firefox, but not display on Chrome on my site?
It might be a browser issue. But hopefully it will show to your audience.
You're content is super helpful cheers!
So when I go to link the amazon affiliate link I'm not seeing any options to make it a sponsored link I don't see any of the 3 (no follow) (open in new link) or ( sponsored link) option is there a special plugin I need to have to see these options please someone help! I can't figure it out!
No special plugin required. The box should show up, but sometimes you have to add the link, then go back to "edit" it for the option to show up - as it's now under the edit pen icon now.
Could all Africans participate in amazon affiliating program staying out side of West region?(Europe)
Yes! You might just need to connect to a Payoneer account or something similar to be able to withdraw your earnings.
Thank you!!! I've been trying and failing to attach my Amazon Affiliate link to an image for days.
Make sure to watch the updated tutorial on this - ruclips.net/video/lAWzpkxni2s/видео.htmlsi=ZdDoxV4AMSS1MwnV.
Amazon is retiring the Site Stripe image option (only links will work from the new year).
No link on top
If I am a Canadian Affiliate, how can I change to become a US Affiliate? As a Canadian Affiliate I can't add other countries to my list of links. So, I can only sell in Canada. I understand if I was a US affiliate I could add other countries. Hope that makes sense.
You sign up to Amazon US affiliate separately, and connect the two accounts via the One Link setting. I have a video on it: ruclips.net/video/bZzfo3E-I2c/видео.html
@@TheSheApproach Thank you so much for the reply. I will go watch that video now and give it a try :)
I have a website and my blog is attached to it. I’m interested in getting an Amazon affiliate storefront. When I post a new blog it automatically sends an email to my subscribers let them know, so my question is if I have Amazon link’s attached to my blog and that is sent in the email can I get in trouble with Amazon?
Good question! It shouldn't - as usually your readers will get a snippet of the blog post, not the entire article. So if they have to click to read the article first, you are good.
@@TheSheApproach thank you.
Hi Ana. Thanks for the information. On my amazon associate side stripe I only have a option to get a text link and not an image link.
The site stripe changed recently - I have an updated video on it which shows what you can do instead for images here: ruclips.net/video/S7kinemaeEw/видео.html&lc=Ugxwc-0GhsWLkL5y1yN4AaABAg
When I add a link, I'm not getting the same pulldown menu to select that it's sponsored. Great video!!
Are you getting a little box where you can type it in?
If not, make sure you are upgraded to the latest Wordpress version.
can you still be kicked out of the affiliates program using the amazon images even through a link?
Not if you share it publicly. They do allow you to embed images via their site stripe image code or an authorised plugin like www.thesheapproach.com/lasso.
you only use "text and image" hmm well unlucky for you then as that option is no longer availible
It's a recent development - I have a post on it here with what you need to do now to add images: thesheapproach.com/amazon-site-stripe-images-update-api-fix/?
Thank you, but for some reason it doesnt give me option of image and such, only text.
Amazon removed the image option unfortunately. There are a few other ways to go about adding images now - which I share in this video: ruclips.net/video/lAWzpkxni2s/видео.htmlsi=8ThALppAuIrrecfV
I left blue host for name hero and I lost to new version of wordpress... any suggestions on how to get it back?
Hosting shouldn't impact that - Wordpress will let you know where they have new versions available from the wp-admin dashboard.
Thank you, could you please talk about Amazon on Pininterest
Working on a video about it!
Do we have to sell in 24 hours or can we get commission after 4 months of posting my product?
It's 24 hours after someone clicks on the link, but it can be at anytime after you posted it. The individual clicks all trigger their own 24 hours window.
As A new affiliate , I don't have the image in my stripe, so what should I do?
The image option was taken away. I have an updated video & tutorial on it here: thesheapproach.com/amazon-site-stripe-images-update-api-fix/?swcfpc=1
So happy that I have found your channel! I am a blogger and just signed up to Amazon and clueless! Can i ask one question pretty please? I am based in the UK but most of my readers are US based with some from the UK. So I have signed up to Amazon US and Amazon UK. I am unclear if i should always use the US links in my posts or do some posts with UK links and some with US? Or just stick with US only? Do people just get sent to their correct buying area? I am confused about this! Thanks!
Hi Amanda! You will want to use Amazon US links, but connect the two accounts via One Link (check out my tutorial on how to set that up here - ruclips.net/video/bZzfo3E-I2c/видео.html).
That way, US traffic will see Amazon Com links and the UK readers will be taken to the UK marketplace (same for other countries if you sign up for those too).
Hope this helps!
@@TheSheApproach Thank you!!
I dont have the option to my stripe bar for an image. Any suggestion?
Amazon has retired that function. I've created an updated tutorial that shows how to grab images here - ruclips.net/video/S7kinemaeEw/видео.htmlsi=l_2O1A9gIL4ks6e5
Do you have a video on how to set up a blog?
I have a video on this coming soon!
the image link is not showing on associate stripe from UK amazon site.
Amazon has now retired the Site Stripe images. I made a video on it and how you can grab images here - ruclips.net/video/lAWzpkxni2s/видео.htmlsi=Ldb5vmKYusGw6JNZ
Hi, when I embed the link directly from amazon its appear very beautiful in the front end in term of looks but when I copy the link to custom HTML code it doesn't appear that I embedded first. Can you try it and tell me how to make their dimension like embedded link. For example, I have uploaded my article directly from ms word to my website through share option, the affiliate links in the aricle converted to images very attractive but when I copy the links from amzon and paste it in the custom HTML sectio n it wasn't that great.
Hi Zaid. Try copying the article from Word to document without the affiliate links, and then embedded the HTMLs provided by Amazon directly into Wordpress in the HTML box, or preview the whole article in HTML text and embedded it there, then move back to Preview. Adding columns can also help keep the images fixed in an article. (Or using an image + text on the side column set.)
If it doesn’t work, can you provide some screenshots so I can see exactly what is causing it?
super helpful thank you!
This was so helpful. Thanks!
how can I mark it sponsored as I don't have that option in word press
Do you see the no-follow toggle?
Puedo descargar imágenes de los productos de amazon directamente y utilizar beacons o link tree para hacer post con su respectivo link y redirigir a la gente al producto?
Great video, Ana! I didn't know how to wrap the text around an image like that so that's very helpful info! :)
I like doing that trick for some posts where I only list one product at a time. So glad this was helpful!
Hello, please I would really like to know how to sell a product on Amazon, I'm new
Hi pleas can you help me got to work in amazon Affiliate I have 190 click but no sales
Hang it there! 190 clicks is a really good start. Review your products and their reviews to see if there are any reasons why people aren't buying. It's probably something to do with how relevant the product is to their needs.
See if you can find better suggestions or continue growing your traffic and clicks.
@@TheSheApproach thank you for that
Valueable
This video is so helpful. I need to add a few of these. Thanks!
i cant copy images .i have just texts😢
I just posted an update tutorial for this: ruclips.net/video/S7kinemaeEw/видео.htmlsi=Xpb0pQbJmzvR7f8i. The image option was removed by Amazon.
hi ana thank you for the video. i got a question. are you familiar with milkshake app? it's basically a landing page. you can paste our affiliate links there but for the product image theres no html box unlike in blogs so the only option is to upload image directly from phone. i heard that you just cant download any amazon product image but what if we download only the cover photo (the first image) of any product? and make a list / catalogue products with these images? would that be counted as violation? thank you so much if u read this!
Not familiar with app you mentioned. And, as far as I know, you can't add Amazon affiliate links to apps, unless you have them listed on your Amazon affiliate account.
I know some bloggers go around that rule and take screenshots of the products to add their links to, but it's risky.
how do you just add it to your amazon store though??
An Amazon store is built through the Influencer program, not the affiliate one. So the process is different. In the mids of editing a video about that!
Thanks! Great video. I needed this!
So glad to hear!
you are cuteeeee 😍
Hello Ana! This works for me only if I use the chrome browser. With edge the image doesn't come up. Even other people visiting my website, when using edge or duck duck go, the image is not visible. Do you have any advice? Thanks a lot and wish you a sunny sunday.
Hello! I looked into it, and Amazon and their servers seem to be at fault, because they are not 100% compatible.
Here are a couple of options you can try:
- Contact the Amazon affiliate team with examples and ask them for a concrete solution. They might have a go-around for specific browsers.
- Make sure to add an link as anchor text nearby as well, so you don't miss out on affiliate sales if the images won't load.
- Use a plugin to display Amazon images instead. I love and use www.theshapproach.com/lasso. They are super quick to fix any tech issues as well!
Hope this helps!
Thank. You.
I love you mam
Hi Ana, I'm coming up with a 'this image is empty alt attribute' error message when I insert the HTML. I've read in forums Amazon doesn't put in alt tags, how would we go about this, or can you direct me somewhere to fix this issue, please. Ty
Hello. That's a strange issue! Most of the time, if you use the custom HTML block, it picks up the information from the code.
I think you are able to add the alt text attribute manually once you've inserted that. Found a quick tutorial for you with photos that walks you through: buildawellnessblog.com/add-amazon-affiliate-images-wordpress/.
Let me know if the issue still persists!
How does your video show ads? Channel would not monetized yet
Great question, haha. RUclips rolled out ads for channels that aren’t monetised yet in a recent update.
In other words, they take the liberty of displaying ads but they don’t pay the creators anything. It’s just the cost of using their platforms.
But as of now, I post and create all my videos for free!
Is there a way to dynamically get the price of the item from Amazon and show it on your website?
You need to use a tool that uses Amazon's APIs (and that updates those automatically every 24 hours).
I use and love Lasso > www.thesheapproach.com/Lasso. You can try them out for free for 14 days. In my opinion, if you have an affiliate website who heavily relies on Amazon, it's worth it!
there is no image choice. only text
Please see my newest video: ruclips.net/video/lAWzpkxni2s/видео.htmlsi=6MJIlbfe8FY_H6TR
Amazon has removed the image option, and you need a third party plugin now to add images.
Thank you for the video! I'm just starting the affiliate program and got confused. You helped a lot 😊
This might help - thesheapproach.com/first3/ !! But let me know if you are struggling at any particular step.
This is fantastic. Precise and concise ❤
Thank you so much 👍
Can you paste it on facebook?
Yes - as long as it’s not in private FB conversations or groups.
i have a question imige is not in my task bar what do i need to do
Do you see the text only option?
@@TheSheApproach yes
Site stripe option is not showing
Hi Jessie. Try going into Amazon Associates for the relevant country, logging in, then going to Amazon as a shopper and log in via the same account. If you have multiple accounts, Site Stripe will only show under the relevant account.
dear, I am facing a problem in WordPress, as you are attaching an image in wp by clicking the + button and all options are on your way to go onward. i cant see that + button on my wp , i dont know where is that lost , is there need to install any plugin ?
Hi there. Nope - no plugin required. You just need to have your Wordpress updated to the latest version, and you'll automatically be using the Gutenberg editor that allows that.
If you are still using the classic editor, you will need to view it in HTML (I show it towards the end of the video).
Let me know if you still can't find the option.
@@TheSheApproach I watched the whole tutorial and nowhere does it show you how to do it in the classic editor. You said it was at the end of the video. Can you tell me how to do it in HTML? I don't have the + button either.
I need to have them display side by side not one below another. That's what it's doing now.
@@thesavvydreamer5094 I show the classic editor at 7:40 - you can use that method to add Amazon images and links via HTML.
I cannot thank you enough for this video. I have spent days trying to figure out how to get the affiliate links to show up correctly. You are genius!!
You're welcome! Thank you for taking the time to leave that lovely comment!
How u add ads on your channel
Hi there! You need to be monetized through the RUclips partner program first and meet the requirments for that. You'll find more info under the RUclips Studio > Monetization tab in your account.
Good luck!
@@TheSheApproach Yes I need
Hello Ana, thank you for all the helpful information. My question is can I add a affiliate products page to my existing Word press web site? I have tried to place products from Amazon to web site with no results. Thank You ! Jeff
Hi Jeff - yes, you absolutely can. Just use the site stripe to generate your link, copy it and insert it on your posts or pages where needed.
You can attach it to anchor text or images.
@@TheSheApproach ok. great!!
Thank you !
