Tweeting an Amazon Affiliate Link is easy.
Don’t let the jumble of letters and numbers, angled brackets and forward slashes throw you.
I’ll show you how I do it:
- Get the link from Amazon Affiliate code
- Shorten the Link
- Write the Tweet
- Tweet
Step 1 – Get the link from Amazon
(Note: This part assumes you are an Amazon Affiliate, if you are not, you can sign up here: Amazon Associate sign up.)
Click on the “Text Link” tab. This link HTML is the shortest so it is easier to find the code you need.
Highlight the URL after <a href=” and before the closing quotation marks (“)
Step 2 Shorten the Link
You can use a third party shortener like bit.ly or if you a using a third party twitter manager like: Seesmic, Tweetdeck or Hootsuite, use their in-built shorteners.
You can also consider hosting the shortened link on your site – which is the preferred option for some people as it means they are not reliant on a third party provider.
In this example I am using Seesmic (web-based manager):
Step 3 Write a Tweet
It can be a recommendation, a suggestion. Let them know what you are recommending so they are not surprised by the link destination.
Step 4 Tweet your Amazon Associate Link
Dead easy.
