How to Add an Amazon Referral
- 1). Join the Amazon company as an affiliate. Visit the Amazon website and enter information about your website, including the name of the website, the URL, the content on your website and the types of products you plan to offer for affiliate sales. Enter an email address and choose a password.
- 2). Sign in to your Amazon account and click one of the tabs on the top of the webpage. Click the "Links & Banners" tab at the top of the webpage and select "Banner Links" from the drop-down menu to select a banner or "Product Links" to select a product.
- 3). Browse the categories available for a banner or a product link and click the category of your choice to select it. Browse through the products available within the category.
- 4). Click on the product you wish to advertise on your website to select it.
- 5). Copy the HTML code provided by Amazon. This code will have your Amazon affiliate number in it so that if a visitor to your website clicks the banner or link and purchases the item, the affiliate commission will credit to your Amazon account.
- 6). Place the code into your website. For example, if your website is a blog, paste the code into a sidebar of your blog to place the banner or link. You could also write a blog post and include a link to a relevant product to entice blog readers to click your link.
- 7). Log in to your Amazon account periodically to check your earnings. Amazon will also send you an email each month to report your earnings.
