How To Create Amazon Affiliate Links to Increase Referrals and Earnings

Create Product Links

After you sign up and then log in to the affiliate dashboard, generate a custom affiliate link to Amazon products with the 'Product Linking' tab, a drop-down menu:

• Product link,  text, image, e.g., Samsung smartphone A32 5 G at the side menu
• Banner, 
• Link to any page at Amazon.ca
• Quick linker 

Enter one or more keywords in the search box and click 'Go' to create a link. You can conduct an all-product search or search within a particular product line. You can also search across Amazon and its subsidiaries.  If someone purchases through your link, you earn a small commission.
