How to Add Social Media Accounts to Amazon Associates

Running a second Amazon Associates account means one chore nobody warns you about: telling Amazon exactly where your traffic comes from. Get that list wrong and the account just sits there. This share walks through the whole thing in six steps.

You can list a social media profile or a website. Amazon screens the sources you submit, so the ones you pick need to be ones you actually use and that anyone can open in a browser.

What You Need

• An Amazon Associates account you can sign in to.

Tutorial

1. Sign in to your Amazon Associates account.
2. Open Account Settings.
3. Choose Edit Your Website, Mobile App.
4. Enter the URL of the social media account or website you use.
5. Click Add, then check that the URL now shows up in your list.
6. Click Next or Save if you are asked to, and finish whatever confirmation comes up.

Wrapping Up

Only list promotion sources you really use, and make sure they are publicly accessible. Amazon has its own requirements for the traffic sources it accepts, so dumping every account you own into the list can work against you. Once your links are in, they sit in Account Settings, where you can go back and adjust them any time.
