WP-Amazon Quick and Easy Link to Amazon Items

I just discover this plugin that will enable you to add an Amazon link to your post quickly and easily. It allows you to search for the Amazon items within your editor and insert the picture and link by drag-and-drop.

This is definitely a plugin you must have for blog marketing and e-commerce. It provides one more way to monetize the traffic to your blog.

Using Amazon Build Links

Previously, whenever I want to add an Amazon link, I’ll need to log in to Amazon Affiliate Central and use the Build Links t to search for the product and generate the JavaScript. Then copy and paste the link into the Wordpress editor.

Now, WP-Amazon simplify the tedious process of Amazon Build Links and put what you need right at where you need it - within Wordpress editor. Check out the demo video here.

Here’s what I want for my trip to photo trip to Hokkaido:

Buy Now at Amazon - Leica V-LUX 1

The above image and link were inserted using WP-Amazon in less than 30 seconds.

Here’s what you need to take note when installing the WP-Amazon plugin:

1. You’re need an Amazon Affiliate ID.
2. Copy the WP-Amazon files to the plugins folder and activate it.
3. Go to Options and click Amazon tab.
4. You will need to enter your default country and Affiliate ID.
5. You need to use the visual editor for the drag-and-drop feature to work.

Now you are ready to recommend Amazon items and make a commission when your readers purchased the product. Good luck to marketing using your blog and making your blog, e-commerce capable.
