Amazon Affiliate Links Checklist

Here is a simple, yet effective, step-by-step checklist you can use to begin promoting your Amazon affiliate links all over the Internet to generate massive traffic to your links, thus improving the chances of your sales conversions.

#1 Various social networking mediums

Don’t just stick with the common Facebook platform when marketing your Amazon product link. Consider other mediums such as Twitter, LinkedIn, social bookmarking sites, etc. The key is to be everywhere so you can reach different audiences that hang out in different places. (Learn how to do more of that here).

Keep in mind that you want to deliver value with your link, therefore, you can share how it solves an immediate problem that your audience can relate to.

#2 Quick product video

Think about shooting a quick 2-3 minute “short commercial” and uploading it to video sites like YouTube. Videos are one of the fastest ways to build rapport with your target market with huge viral potential power. You can share testimonials, give product reviews, and even show the product itself so prospects can get a true idea of its features.

#3 Include link in email signature

Promoting to your list is a no-brainer…they are already interested in you and your brand. But you want to give more valuable content in your email messages than selling to them daily. Adding a post script (P.S.) after your signature in every email is a great way to promote any affiliate tool or product that will benefit your audience. This goes for your Amazon affiliate links too!

#4 Banner ads

This is perhaps one of the more popular choices when advertising an affiliate product or tool. Often times they are included on the side or at the bottom on a blog. To make it stand out, choose images that are compelling and again, seeks to solve a problem in your marketing. Which leads to our next point…
