Getting into Amazon Affiliate Program

We won’t be wasting much time here.
The application is pretty straightforward.
Go to: https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/associates/join/landing/main.html

Just follow the registration form and put in all your real details.
Once you get to the website part, put in the site you've just created.

If your site gets rejected (yes it can happen, but it's not the end of the world), just upload some
products one your store, make it look even more legit and apply again.
You will get in eventually.

That's it!
Welcome to the Amazon Affiliate family.

Let me show you now, how to find a product on Amazon and get an affiliate link with your cookie
inside.

First, find the product on main amazon.com website. Same process if you would go shopping.
Once you find it, click on it and check Product Description.
Search for ASIN number as shown on picture below:

Copy this ASIN number and head to the Amazon Affiliates page.
Insert this number into the box, as show on the picture below:

To get a link, just click on the arrow next to »Get Link« button.
Copy and paste that link into your Wordpress and you are set!
(Where to put this link in Wordpress really depends on your theme and setup. Remember the picture
above where I circled all the locations? That's where I put this link. For you it will depend on what
kind of theme you use, so I can't really show you how to do it exactly. Unless you buy our ready-
made stores, where we also offer an in depth guide on how to use it and support if you get stuck.)

Great we have a link in place now!
But let's also put an image of a product.
On the screens below, I'll show you exactly how to get your picture.

This time, don't click on an arrow, but click the actual »Get link« button.

Click the “Image Only” tab above and you will see the similar screen.
Choose Large Image size from dropdown and look in the box below with HTML code.

Look for … <img src=”(the link will be here)” border=0 …

Just copy the link that is there, the same way I highlighted it on the screenshot above.

This is your image!
Paste it in browser, right click on it and do save as.
Save it to your disk and upload to Wordpress.

That’s how you find products to add to your store.

We have one more step left to do.
It’s time we create your first Pinterest account.
