Can we directly post the Amazon affiliate link there?

Yes

@@TheSheApproach can you tell me clicks are on pinterest pin but not showing on amazon reports what can i do

Yey!! So glad to hear. Let me know how you get on with building the landing pages. You can build them normally in Wordpress, but you have less flexibility and there is no way to duplicate those pages, which is why I love Elementor instead!

but now elementor charges you@@TheSheApproach

how's it going? what's your site now

Yey!! Antyhing in particular you wanted to see?

So sorry to hear that!

So glad it helped! Pinterest can work, but you have to play by their rules.

You can do both - you can easily build a page, and duplicate it for each product. Pins will all have different destination URLs for specific products - that way they are easier to find, and Pinterest loves multiple URLs as well. But you can have landing pages for a list of products (for example - best vacuum cleaners - and list 3-5 of those), or a resource library/shop page (shop my favourite home cleaning products). Just think of the user experience - if you have a pin that says "best business book i've read in 2024" don't lead them to a page of 20+ products, for them to find that 1 book. Just lead them to a landing page for that book only (works better for conversions too).

You can't get accepted with only a Pinterest account unfortunately. But you can promote your links on multiple platforms, you aren't limited to one. Just add them to your "websites" - you can edit that list at anytime in case you start new accounts, blogs etc.

So glad this helped!

I believe influencers have different rules, so you will be ok to link to your Amazon influencer store via a pin. And yes - add the disclosure in the pin description.

Hope it works! Let me know if you have further questions.

Yes - especially for Pinterest. If you are linking to the product directly from a public page (blog post, public social media account that's allowed by Amazon etc), there's no need to have a bridge - unless you want to direct them to read your full review for example.

Yes - that's a great place to do so, as you want to prime them to make a sale, and share features they might miss on the sales page.

You can either get a plugin to help you do so - I recommend either www.thesheapproach.com/lasso or www.thesheapproach.com/aawp - or try making those 3 sales without sharing images (just use text links + buttons).

Do not buy a website directly from Wordpress. You are just paying for extra features which still don't allow you to own your website or customize it further. You need to buy web hosting instead, on which you can install the free version of Wordpress org on. I recommend www.thesheapproach.com/bluehost as they offer a free domain name and a one click Wordpress install. Once that's set up, you can create infinite pages under that domain at no extra cost!

Any other tools that will allow you to build public pages will work. Like a free Wordpress blog, Linktree pages etc.

Nope - the free version does more than enough!

❤❤❤

That's strange! And definitely an issue with the plugin you use. One Link redirects based on your location, so unless you are in India when you click on it, it shouldn't take you there. Try to ask for support with the tool you use, and write to Amazon support as well to double-check.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean. Link health status for your affiliate links, or your pins? Or to check the spam score of your domain?

@@TheSheApproach yes I meant health status of the affiliate links as the links might have expired products at certain times, and needs be removed to avoid customer dissatisfaction, that's what I saw somewhere , and saw video saying that Geniuslink let's you know when a product is already out of stock

@@RVBestsellerCorner Ohh, yes that's fine! Lasso offers that as well, and you can see any broken links (if an item has been deleted off Amazon) or not in stock.

Thank you! Working on it!

Yes! As you own the copyright to your cover, images etc, you can use that as you want. (You can also create a landing page for your own book as shown, direct Pinterest traffic there, and have an affiliate link on that page, as that's allowed, and still get paid for sales as an affiliate.)

Yes, you can, you just have to make sure you are grabbing the photos via the API tool or a third-party plugin. I have a tutorial on how you can do that here: thesheapproach.com/amazon-site-stripe-images-update-api-fix/ Then create a resource page / shop my favorites / showcase.

Between 1-5 original pins seems to work best now, but there is no magical number. Experiment and see what works best (but give it 3-4 months to see results).

Thank you! Noted.

It's because Amazon discounts most sales that come directly from Pinterest (they won't pay you for them if they generate in sales) and Pinterest marks Amazon affiliate links as spammy most of the time - so they won't even show them to others. If you build a landing page, you create a bridge and solve both problems!

@@TheSheApproach thank you so much for explaining that!

For blogs, I wouldn't use Shopify. But they work well if you have digital or physical products to sell.

As long as you use a tool which automatically updates each deal price/product price every 24 hours, you will be fine with Amazon. (AAWP should do that, as well as Lasso.) So you don't need to rush to delete anything. For your readers, you can write something like "February 2024" deals so they don't they are only active that month.

You can use a free Wordpress, Blogger, Wix website but they all come with their limitations.

Is that an Elementor page, or a simple Wordpress page?

I created a new page in wordpress, saved the title and then clicked on edit with Elementor. @@TheSheApproach

Have you cleared your cache after - that helps with Elementor pages lagging

That I am not 100% sure on, since Pinterest enabled that feature specifically for product tagging. So they might not see it as a problem, but Amazon sales still won't count (especially for your first 3 sales).

Either take your own photo of the product and remove the background, or use a stock image of a similar product.

Direct Amazon affiliate links on Pinterest are not permitted (it's not listed as one of the approved social platforms in the Amazon agreement for affiliates), and Pinterest can see these pins as spammy - so yes, it's better to have a landing page.

Yes - if you just use the regular Amazon link, you can share that anywhere you want (even offline, in private conversations etc). However, even standard Amazon links don't get a lot of traction on Pinterest, so if you can pin a page on your blog instead where the link to the book is, that will work better.

Pinterest doesn't pay you directly, you get paid by individual affiliate networks or programs. So you will need to connect your payment information there.

It could just be a coincidence. A big majority of pins have a destination or source URL, so that shouldn't impact it negatively. Have you claimed your website on Pinterest yet?

Yes, as you want people to know what they are clicking on, so if the product is different than the destination Amazon link, it will only be confusing.

Can you share an example of what you mean?

Just posted a new video!

You're allowed to do that, just sign up for the other Amazon affiliate marketplace accounts as well.

If you want to promote products from your own shop, you can link those directly on Pinterest!

Your domain. If your created landing pages are www.thesheapproach.com/pin-product-1 for example, you just need to list www.thesheapproach.com in your listed websites on Amazon. Any pages and posts from this domain will be included in your application that way.

That's correct - Amazon doesn't allow you to pin their images, as the sellers own the copyright. You can either take your own product photos or use stock photos of similar products.

Clicks always show with a delay in the dashboard. Pinterest analytics will also show pin clicks - which is when people click to enlarge the pin graphic - instead of outbound clicks - which is when people click on the destination URL, so be sure to check for the latter. But as I mentioned, Amazon & Pinterest don't really like each other, so maybe Amazon is discount Pinterest clicks altogether.

It's just not on their list of approved social media networks and accounts that you can get accepted with, since it's more about sharing content than creating original content which they want to see. I'd recommend linking another social media account to your profile, and getting clicks that way moving forward.

Affiliate disclaimers can be as simple as "As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases." or "This page contains affiliate links. In the event of a sale, I earn a commission at no extra cost for you." which can simply write out. A policy page is recommended if you have a website, and while there are some legal templates you can buy to make sure they include everything you need, if you only plan to share affiliate links, there are several Privacy Policy free generators that you can use to embed them on a simple page such as termly.io/products/privacy-policy-generator/ or www.freeprivacypolicy.com/free-privacy-policy-generator/.

@@TheSheApproach Where on Pinterest do you put your disclaimer? On every product pin that your promoting?

You might need an Amazon compatible extension for Shopify, as their product layout won't allow you to add product images without uploading them (which Amazon doesn't allow).

@@TheSheApproach Thank you so much! I have posted links on shopify by creating my own branding images and adding the links to it but my traffic has been 0, but I have a decent audience on Pinterest, just been hard to convert would you have any suggestions?

It's just Amazon's rule for their affiliates.

They retired their free account. You can try something like www.thesheapproach.com/aawp which is more affordable.

I don't speak Serbian, but let me know what your questions are and how I can help!

My apologies! I do have several beginner Amazon affiliate videos. Or is it the landing pages bit that you would like a more detailed tutorial on?

KZfaq doesn’t suggest videos if you introduce yourself at the beginning. Their upgrades from last month changed a lot of features and you simply won’t get views if you introduce yourself first--only if you give at least one part of your topic first.

What a helpful comment... Thanks for your feedback. If you want content and answers from robots, try Google AI answers. Otherwise, real people who post on KZfaq do tend to introduce themselves to new viewers. I also introduce myself after I introduce the topic of the video for viewers retention, and to establish what my connection with the topic is.

I've shown that on my newest videos: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iZ2bnNGW0sfJdas.htmlsi=Vn_WpkzcFJ53C66w Or do you mean creating FB/Instagram paid ads to boost your affiliate link?
