How to Add Amazon Affiliate Links on YouTube

If you’re part of the Amazon Associates Program, adding affiliate links to your YouTube content can help you earn commissions from product recommendations. Here’s a step-by-step guide to adding Amazon affiliate links to your YouTube videos effectively:

Step 1: Sign Up for Amazon Associates

If you haven’t already, join the Amazon Associates Program by visiting Amazon Associates. Once approved, you’ll get access to your unique affiliate dashboard.

Step 2: Find Your Affiliate Link

1. Log in to your Amazon Associates account.
2. Search for the product you want to promote.
3. Click on the “Get Link” button (or use the Amazon SiteStripe toolbar at the top of the Amazon product page).
4. Copy the shortened or full affiliate link.

Step 3: Add the Affiliate Link to Your YouTube Video

In the Description Box: Paste the affiliate link in your video’s description. Add a call-to-action (CTA) like:

“”Check out this product here: [Your Amazon Link]””

In the Pinned Comment: Pin a comment with your affiliate link to boost visibility.

In YouTube Cards & End Screens: If you have a website, link to a blog post containing your affiliate link.

Step 4: Follow Amazon & YouTube Guidelines

Disclose your affiliate relationship: Add a disclaimer like:

“”This video contains affiliate links. If you purchase through these links, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.””

Avoid linking directly from YouTube Cards or End Screens to Amazon (use your website instead).

By consistently adding affiliate links to your videos and recommending valuable products, you can generate passive income through Amazon Associates!
