Let’s see together how to make the most of an Amazon Affiliate Link.
JotURL & Affiliate Links
JotURL is a SAAS (Software as a Service) that can provide many features to make the most of all your links.
A good trick to push users to interact with your content (in this case the Amazon Affiliate Link) is to associate a link to a CTA.
With JotURL it is very easy to do it.
Just create a Tracking Link within the Joturl Dashboard and decide which CTA template is the most suitable for you.
An example?
The button template is very useful to push people to buy your product.
On your website, all you have to do is insert the JotURL tracking link to which you have linked a CTA.
The button can be positioned within the page as you wish, also the color of the button, the font and the text can be totally customizable in the JotURL editor.
Once the CTA button is pressed, the user can be redirect to a specific landing page.
Please be aware that Amazon pages are not embaddable, this means that you will not be able to create CTAs directly on Amazon’s pages.
What you can do is: create a CTA that refers to a third-party landing page where you can advertise the product you want to sell.
Just think of all those sites that deal with writing product reviews or insights into an article you want to sell.
Very often affiliate marketing makes use of third-party valuable content to entice users to purchase.
It’s on this kind of pages that you will have to enter your CTA and then redirect them directly to the Amazon product, perhaps creating CTAs with a text similar to the following:
“Order by May 27th to get 20% OFF”
Or:
“Take three, pay only two!”
You must find the most suitable sales strategy to advertise the product.
CTAs with engaging messages can greatly increase user interaction with your content and lead to more conversions.
Remember that every conversion will result in more profit for you.
JotURL offers several Call To Action templates, not just the button template. You could also create a form, a Social Opt-in, a template text and more. The possibilities are truly limitless.
With the new CTA Social Opt-in XL you could even obtain a lead first, through data acquisition immediately after the click, and then send it to the purchase page, taking the most out of the JotURL features to get every possible advantage.
And that’s just one of the strategies you could use with JotURL.
