How To Add Amazon Affiliate To WordPress Blog Post

in this video I'll show you two ways
that you can add Amazon affiliate
products to your blog post first I'll
show you how you can add a text link
then I'll cover adding a clickable image
which redirects to your affiliate link
so I have a blog post example here which
is the best cameras for YouTubers and in
this blog post I I talk about different
cameras so let's say I want to get the
affiliate link for the Sony sv1 so we'll
copy this we'll go to Amazon and we can
paste in this product now here is this
product and what we can do is grab an
affiliate link to this and if people
were to buy after clicking on the image
or clicking on linked text we would earn
a commission now you can only get your
affiliate link if you're a part of the
Amazon affiliate program already so
you're going to need to apply already to
the Amazon affiliate program I'm not
going to cover how to apply because I
already have a video on that which I'll
leave up on a card here but once you've
applied you can go to the Amazon
Associates program and you can see all
of your earnings here and most
importantly once you've applied and
you've logged in you'll get this Amazon
Associates bar at the top of your Amazon
that means any product you can then
click on and then in the top left hand
corner you can either get a text link or
you can get an image and I'll show you
how you can add both of these right now
so let's start with text so if you click
on text it's then going to give you a
shortened link the redirects to this
page here so we're going to copy this
shortened link you can then go into your
WordPress post
you can then decide where you want to
link so what text do you want to link to
the Amazon page so I'll highlight this
here which is the product name I'll then
click here to this link button and we
can now paste in our affiliate link now
if we click enter that's then going to
make that an affiliate link what you can
also do is bold it so it stands out now
let's update that okay so now you can
see that's updated and when we click on
it it should then redirect us to Amazon
and here you go here we go and there you
go it's redirected us to Amazon here so
now let's go ahead and add an image and
I'll show you how you can link with an
image so if you go to the same product
and you then go to image you will then
get an image here that you can add now
you can add small medium or large for
the video I'm going to choose large
and then we'll copy this HTML code now
we can go back to our article and you
just want to decide where you're going
to put this image then click on the plus
icon and you want to search here for
HTML
click on custom HTML then you can simply
paste in your HTML code and if you click
on preview
you can see here is the image now what
you can also do is you can also go to
block inserter and type in column
and if you drag on a column here so just
click on column you can drag on a column
so it's like 3366 and I'll just recopy
this HTML code
and I'll add it to the column instead
and then we can just delete this one now
in this other column we can add a text
box and you can then type about your
product and obviously you can just carry
on the article beside the photo because
there's nothing worse than having the
photo and just a blank page here if you
get what I mean so we can update this
and then here is what it would look like
when it's embedded and people can click
on this image and it will redirect then
to Amazon once it loads yes so there you
go it would redirect to Amazon
