[@jbvictor5960]

Finally someone who cuts thru the craps. You're amazing!

[@MindKam7n5]

Brilliant, I will have to watch this repeatedly as you are faster than my mind can process. Please see do help me directly and get my unique puzzle books off the ground. Will pay beyond the Affiliate program.

[@TheSheApproach]

I often post blog posts for the videos I post that might be easier to digest! Check the blog at www.thesheapproach.com. I also have a few videos up on puzzle & activity books for Amazon KDP. Anything in particular you want to learn?

[@wordivore]

There's also a gear/setting button in the right bottom (on desktop/laptop) or at the top of the video on a phone of every video, which allows you to slow the video down or speed it up if needed.

[@Mimismochatreats]

Clear and concise information! Thank you so much for this breakdown!

[@TheSheApproach]

Thank you!

[@Philippines888]

Thanks for the tips… I was approved as an Amazon associates as I got 5 sales already for only 2 weeks.. so I was doing well on that pic stuff that though. I will keep on listing :)

[@TheSheApproach]

That's amazing!! Well done and thank you for sharing!

[@asherquazar]

This is a great video! If you added KZbin chapters to help us skip to the specific part we want, that would make it extra easy to use.

[@TheSheApproach]

Thank you for the suggestion! I'll add some for this video.

[@uptowntrb]

Absolutely love your videos, thank you for doing them! What apps can you recommend for Amazon Associates that have Wix websites and want to have the shop page you talk about for Wordpress?

[@TheSheApproach]

There seems to be a specific Amazon App available for Wix users: support.wix.com/en/amazon-app

[@PlanetCreativeStudios]

Thank you for sharing this information! Can you please share an updated link for the AMA Links plugin? The one posted in the description lands on a page that says, "We're Sorry. This Page Cannot Be Found"

[@TheSheApproach]

Thank you for letting me know! It's thesheapproach.com/amalink

[@captaindrewcavanaugh]

Ok question: If I want to post a link on my KZbin Channel in a video description that leads people to my Amazon Store Front. Do I use in Site Stripe the store ID for the Affiliate program or the Store ID for the Influencer program. For some reason I see in my affiliates reporting data I had last 30 days 36k clicks but no sales. So, I want to make sure I am doing the linking correctly. Now in my KZbin videos if say I list an individual product I go to Amazon and use in Site Strip the affiliate link. Thank You

[@TheSheApproach]

You can do either, usually the Amazon affiliate links have better tracking.

[@SimplyDazzlingNY]

Thank you for sharing this information.

[@עידןפוזיילוב]

Very helpful video thank you very much! I have to understand one important thing: first question - is Lasso a plugin that helps display images without an API? Second question - I'm using the "Content Egg" plugin and if I have an API, is it okay to sync images into my product page, original Amazon images? So far I have not received API permission and that is why I am also asking about Lasso

[@TheSheApproach]

1. Yes - Lasso will work without the API (but once you have access to that it's recommended that you connect it as it will display even more product features). 2. Not entirely sure how this plugin works with Amazon - do they have the feature to display product images automatically and connect to your affiliate account? Message support and ask, making sure they respect the Amazon's tocs as well.

[@עידןפוזיילוב]

[@dynamiszmx]

very helpful video! Can I display an Amazon product image link on a webpage together with the SiteStripe generated link, making it look like an Amazon product?

[@TheSheApproach]

Yes, just make sure to follow the rules regarding images.

[@beyond-the-range]

@@TheSheApproachwhere can we find the rules regarding images.

[@apeaceofmind1564]

Can you share a landing page or link tree that contains Amazon affiliate links🤔

[@TheSheApproach]

Yes! You can see for example, my Kindle books: thesheapproach.com/start-money-making-blog-ebook/

[@superelectic45]

I would recommend using a proper lapel mic to improve the sound quality

[@__poojasuthar__]

Can we add more than 1 link in 1 pin?

[@Christinalaragudewill]

Can you clarify the Amazon copyright rules? I understand not screenshotting for your website but can you do it for IG stories? And if not, can I screenshot something similar online or do they check? Also, I understand family/friends don’t count for affiliate credit, but how can you prevent them from ordering/especially if they follow your account and are a customer off your business. Thank you!

[@TheSheApproach]

If you're screenshotting the entire sales page, that is allowed in some cases, and as Instagram stories disappear so quickly, they are unlikely to view it in time for you to get in trouble or get a copyright strike, so I do see a lot of people posting those. (Or screen recording their phone for the product page.) For anything that's on your profile for longer - highlights, feed posts, reels etc, stick to using your own content or stock footage that is royalty free or that you paid for. And you can't stop people you know personally from using your links - some do without even realizing it. They will usually discount those sales, but you won't get in trouble unless you are discovered actively encouraging them to do so.

[@jameskemp8287]

@@TheSheApproach is this correct? websites like Thisiswhyimbroke are all screenshots of amazon products. There's thousands of products on there all screenshots of amazon products. They did replace the copy but that's it. It seems unlikely affiliate websites are going to buy thousands of products and take their own photos or that amazon would expect affiliates to do that. Where are the copyrighting amazon rules? Can't seem to find them

[@SarahWullner]

Thank you for sharing!

[@bizcraftzone]

Oh, great info. I have a question regarding the images. Is it allowed to have images that are not clickable with the note on which day was applicable? And add the clickable button next to the image?

[@TheSheApproach]

You can, but the same copyright rules apply to the images. You can add your own photos, stock images of similar products etc, but you cannot add Amazon screenshots or downloaded images, even if you don't add a link to the images.

[@bizcraftzone]

@TheSheApproach thanks for your answer! I will check your other videos to see how to get these first sales.

[@rmabith]

Ana, is there any other way to post images on social media instead of taking own pictures?

[@TheSheApproach]

You can get the permission to use the photos from the sellers directly, as they own copyright, or use stock photos.

[@rmabith]

@@TheSheApproach Ok Thanks 👍

[@chickennugget1531]

when editing the link pasted on a sentence i do not have the option to mark as sponsored, pls helppp

[@LepoppetArtCrafts]

Can I use PA-API to get images for Amazon Inspire and Amazon Influencer?

[@TheSheApproach]

It's only a feature for Amazon affiliates

[@DIANAGARCIA-i6o]

Hi ! Can you show us how to add multiple links to a bundle Pinterest pin ? ;)

[@TheSheApproach]

Only one link per pin works, and direct Amazon links aren't allowed. Link to a page/post where you have all the products instead, as that will work better.

[@journeywithjenni87]

So I was confused about doing my associate links on Pinterest. I reached out to Amazon today and Amazon told me I can take my Amazon associate link upload it onto my Pinterest when I create a pin and when it auto generates the image that I can save the pin with the auto generated image and post it. I’m curious why Amazon is telling me this is okay but it sounds like you’re saying it’s not okay. Can you clarify what you mean? Thank you.

[@marcasu]

I appreciate the information, however I do have a question. Do you know any plugins for WP sites that allow affiliates to display Amazon prices onto our website in a sense that should Amazon update their prices, the plugin also updates the updated price so that they match?

[@TheSheApproach]

Yes, Lasso does that - thesheapproach.com/lasso - and it also shows the discounted price if an item is on sale (and then updates it once the sale is over automatically), as well as AAWP - thesheapproach.com/AAWP.

[@appledee2524]

Lasso plugin in wp isn't working! :(

[@namooskhan-od8bf]

osom mam thanks but i was for just image purpose in this video it took me while to hear it from you any how thanks ....

[@ashiinsane90]

How are you suppose to make sales, when you are not allowed yet to use API for product images? or im missing something?

[@TheSheApproach]

You are allowed to use it once you make your first three sales, you can share plain links until then, or using a plugin that grabs the images for you like Lasso or AAWP.

[@Lineofcoaching]

Hi! Is it possible to have a section to mu shopify store, where i post products with links?

[@TheSheApproach]

I think that is allowed but you will need to use a marketplace connector app to import Amazon products into your Shopify store, as you can't manually upload those or the images. This is one that comes up: apps.shopify.com/amazon-associate-connector

[@salimafritz5075]

I'm in Canada. How can I do that? I'm in Canada. How do you do a tutorial on it?

[@TheSheApproach]

It will be the exact same process, but you can look up Amazon Associates Canada if you want to share local links (but set up One Link so you can monetize internationally - I also have a few videos about that).

[@samigeorge]

I can’t find updated info on the if you can include an affiliate link on KZbin shorts? Are they clickable anywhere? I also saw you can get your account taken away if you do it wrong. Any advice?

[@TheSheApproach]

I believe that's a KZbin issue, not an Amazon one. Try one of these tutorials: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnuTp4lnrsyMrMk&ab_channel=DanieJay newhorizons123.com/how-to-add-a-clickable-link-to-youtube-shorts/

[@TenAcreWoodDoodles]

Can I share all my affiliate links in one place in a business email?

[@TheSheApproach]

Affiliate links from Amazon aren't allowed directly in emails.

[@Christina-tx7fi]

Can I take my own photos of the product and use those on my website?

[@TheSheApproach]

Yes!

[@joannesinspirations]

I have been using this test link forever. All of a sudden it is NO longer at the top left corner. I can't find it ANYWHERE. And, yes, I am logged in. Did Amazon change something (Sept 29 2024) ?

[@TheSheApproach]

They recently change the appearance of the Site Stripe, but it's still there. Are you able to log into your Amazon associates account or generate the links on the mobile app?

[@joannesinspirations]

@@TheSheApproach Yes, I've actually already solved the issue. It's not on the upper right hand corner.

[@katsshibainus3258]

How do I add the 'buy now button' link?

[@TheSheApproach]

You can write it out, and add the hyperlink as you do normally with links, or if you look on your Wordpress blocks, there should be a "button" widget that creates the buttons for you. Additionally you can create button images for free here - www.clickminded.com/button-generator/ - save them as photos, and add your links to them.

[@heavenhour3893]

They don’t have short link on mobile app ?

[@TheSheApproach]

Yes, they do, that's the default amazon link on mobile.

[@madisonmorris2140]

For some reason when I go to advanced settings for my link it doesn’t have a sponsored option at all. Any idea as to why this might be or how to fix it??

[@TheSheApproach]

Is this in Wordpress? Can you share a screenshot (email me at [e-mail]).

[@PetParty-u8b]

I am little confused. On facebook we can have the image and amazon name on the post? We dont have to edit the picture? Thank you

[@TheSheApproach]

Facebook pulls out the picture automatically for you (the preview for links they do for every website) and that's allowed by Amazon. Just don't upload your own images.

[@captaindrewcavanaugh]

When I try to add a new KZbin account to allow me to put affiliate links there in the account settings I get this warning and not let me add it: Please remove as it contains word(s) which are not allowed

[@TheSheApproach]

Try contacting Amazon support - it might be a glitch or a word that triggers it.

[@AestheticLocs]

Hi Anam its Ash again. If my FB is private can i still share my links there.

[@TheSheApproach]

Not direct Amazon links, but you can share links to a social media profile where you have those present.

[@DiwaSalim]

[@holistictraditionswithpat2170]

I don't understand. In the toolbar at the top of my amazon page, I can copy a link. Can't I use that? Why is it there? I have a go daddy site. Will that work?

[@TheSheApproach]

For the link, yes, that's what you use! It will work on Go Daddy or anywhere online. But to display images, you need to follow the steps in the tutorial - you can't download or screenshot the images from Amazon.

[@NamoosKhan-cn9uj]

What about if someone join another platform like ebay or anyother so the can use there image and the can use the link of Amazon also with another platform link...plz answer

[@TheSheApproach]

It's a grey area. You can grab the image from that affiliate platform if they allow it, but it must be the exact product to link on Amazon as well, as Amazon doesn't want you to confuse your audience. So you can say "buy this on Ebay / buy this on Amazon" if it's the same product, or be mindful of the language if not and say something like "buy similar product on Amazon".

[@CalliopeGrey-z6i]

So Ana, does that mean as beginners we cannot promote Amazon products anymore with images unless we pay for these plugins or have our images? No other free way to add images and the products?

[@TheSheApproach]

That's right, unfortunately. You can always try to find free stock photos of those products, or similar products, or if you're an affiliate for a brand that lets you grab those images (but they also sell on Amazon), you can grab the images that way.

[@CalliopeGrey-z6i]

@@TheSheApproach Thank you Ana! Maybe a video on this in the future will be helpful! Also what is applicable to US and EU countries often is not for the other countries. For Example, Clickbank is not offered in many countries. So a video addressing beginners and those outside these countries will be very helpful especially regarding how they can make some money using pinterst and affiliate marketing.

[@TheSheApproach]

Good suggestion! I'll keep that in mind! I do have a free list of 99+ other affiliate programs you can join that are international as well: thesheapproach.com/99-affiliate-programs-for-bloggers/

[@jessicavodegel3269]

when I check the link in link checker it says Fail: The link above was not tagged or was not a valid Amazon link. also did I hear you correctly that you can't share your link in private conversations?? does that mean text messages? I'm assuming DM's on IG are fine since that is how most people share it?

[@TheSheApproach]

Did you paste in your short link or long link? Sometimes the link checker has trouble with the short link, even if it's a valid affiliate link. And, yes, you've heard right, no affiliate links anywhere offline or private where they can't be traced back - and that includes instagram DMs. I think influencers can share their store links there which is why you might see others say "comment and I'll dm you the link", but that's not possible for affiliates (unless you send them to a public web page first where you have the links embeded).

[@ffi5733]

When I paste the code into Wordpress HTML it doesn’t come up with an image, I just get a long product description link.. any idea what I’m doing wrong ? Tysm

[@TheSheApproach]

Is this when you preview it? Try to see what the post will look like live, as the way it looks when you edit it will still be the HTML code.

[@ashleebussey2873]

so how do i add a photo if i cant add a photo...surely nobody will click a link with no image?

[@TheSheApproach]

They will if the content around it is relevant. But you can either take your own photos, use stock photos of similar products, use a tool like Lasso or get your account approved to use the API method and embed images that way.
