Great information Lisa ! Question- with the Amazon API and Secret Key my developer told me that it is ok if I use his info instead of having to use mine. I'd had trouble getting mine to work properly. I do use my own tracking ID though. Does this sound ok in your opinion ? Thanks !
Hi Lisa, thanks for the Video! I am not quite sure what exactly the advantage of that plugin is, since Amazon invented the sitestripe. Do you still use it and is it still that buggy? Regards, Franziska
I want to ask you. It's the same plugin Amazon Auto Links - Amazon Associates Affiliate Plugin = Amazon Associates Link Builder Plugin, because I didn't find it?
Great, simple & to the point. So this would be good for when writing about a product & mentioning a product. We'll definitely start integrating that into my post. Does this affiliate program also work for banners?
Thanks, you saved my time. So all this plugin does is add a button to the text editor to search the amazon database for the product you want to add to your blog post or page that gets tied to the affiliate account with the tracking id. Got it thanks
Lisa, Thank you for this great video! I had such simple questions that I could not find the answers to and had almost given up until I found your video.
hi lisa! I was wondering, what plan did you subscribe to for wordpress? Got a little confused when it says only the most expensive can have the plug in. just wanted to know so i don't go wasting my money like i did to shopify.
You must be going directly to wordpress' site? If you go to a regular hosting company like GoDaddy, Sitepoint or any company that is known for website hosting, all the plans have the full version of WordPress -- even the cheapest. I wouldn't go to WordPress directly to buy hosting.
Hey Lisa. Thanks for creating this video on Amazon Associates Link Builder. Is there still a bug like you showed in this video? Have you used any other Amazon WordPress plugins? Personally, I like EasyAzon, though.
thanks for this! really helpful. i'm wondering if you also know about adding different market places as i have noticed most of my audience is from the US as well. Will I need to create a new tracking ID?
OK - question. So I was under the impression that the links lasted forever. So, I started on a website thru bluehost/wordpress. Haven't launched it yet, getting a few blogs together, but of course, have been linking throughout the blogs. Haven't set up my 'shop' page yet but was going to sooner than later. Question is, how do you update the links when you have hundreds of them every day so they won't be useless to you in 24 hours?? Is this even doable? Especially starting out with ZERO traffic and having useless links that nobody has probably clicked on anyway. Seems kind of jacked up!
Thanks for the great tutorial Lisa. I panicked when I got Amazon's email yesterday (6/13/17) announcing cancelling the AStore program. But this plug-in may solve that problem. Thanks for making it seem so easy to use. All the best - Bernie
Thanks so much Lisa! My Amazon affiliate sales have been consistent in the last 6 months but I think most of my sales are coming from social media and here on RU-vid. I'll be sure to share this because most of my friends use WordPress and the plugin just makes life easier. I'm loving the outro ❤ is that new?
Ileane Smith Thanks for sharing! Great to hear about your sales! I just love how their products convert. Amazon's brand is so strong. 👍🏾👍🏾 I started using the outro about a year ago or so but I don't add it to all vids so maybe that's why you missed it. Thx!!!
Hi Ileane would you tell me whether there are some basic 'must have' for a new RU-vidr to get the affiliate link from Amazon? Well, I mean like having 10000 page views or 100 subscribers..like that. Thank You.
Thanks for making this simple for an old geek. Just one question. Is, or can, the tracking ID the same as the store ID? New to Amazon and this is a little confusing to me. Thanks again!
Hello I'm new to this, so you mention if they purchase within 24 hours? So is that how amazon affiliate links work? A person has to purchase within 24 hours, whether or not I use the plugin?
I have different ones for different websites. Or if you are doing a special blog post or promo and want to track that one post/event then you could create one just for that. For example when I post a link from my FB page I have a tracking ID just for that page.
Because I don't create many IDs. I only have 3 sites I use Amazon on and one FB page. So I don't really have that many IDs. I don't personally create them for different blog posts or pages, but I was just giving you an idea for why you'd create different ones.
If they click on the affiliate link on your blog but they end up buying something else , do you still get paid? Like if you link a large bottle of a cleanser or whatever of something but your visitor bought a smaller size from a different seller (still on amazon ), do you still make a commission on their purchase ?
Lisa Irby oh good! I was agonizing over which link to insert worrying about what if they did click on my link but then wandered over to a different product page or same product but different than the exact link I put. I need to get more review content on my blog but the problem is (or part of the problem I should say) is I need to purchase things to review which I don’t really have the money for . 😥
Is my plugin broken, i can't seem to be able to select the marketplace in the first part of the setup? or am i doing something wrong? I click on the "select Marketplace" link, and it does not give me the option to type anything in that space. HELP!
I don't see same buttons on my dashboard though. New here. Just upgraded my wordpress blog to .com. Can't upload affiliate links on page but text only and no image. Pls help. Thank you.
There are two wordpress versions - the free one at wordpress.com and wordpress.org. If you buy hosting (like I do), you get the wordpress.org version and you can do whatever you want because you own your own domain. The free version of WordPress does not allow you to profit from it. So you cannot use affiliate links if you have the free version. That's why I don't suggest going the free route.
Hey Thanks for taking the time on the video! I would like to add more than 9 items on the page. In fact I would like to have about 30 a page. I see you can 'add more' items by going to the page and grabbing the asin or product id and adding it to the group, but I don't want to do that for 50 or more items. Has anyone customized the template display? Thanks for any help - Greg
is it possibly to get paid by amazon and the seller? you can only get paid 1-3% from amazon, but 5-20% from seller. The premise the seller provide good products. as an amazon seller, I am racking my brain on how to work with affiliates
@@LisaIrby YES! I hope all is well! It is so crazy to see how the online world change since then. I would love to know more about your experiences, and what you see for the future!
If you're having trouble using the plugin because its saying you have to pay or have a business account to use then you just need to fix your Access Key. I kept getting this error: "Your AccessKey Id is not registered for Product Advertising API" Found this fix and now the plugin works fine. forums.aws.amazon.com/message.jspa?messageID=541585#541585
