Pin Amazon links to Pinterest

I wanted to highlight some Amazon products on some of my Pinterest boards and have them link back to my website. Unfortunately you cannot pin amazon product links. I could take a picture without a link and Pin it. That was the easy part.

I also wanted the link to open in new page. Here's where it got tricky. But I was determined so I worked at it until I got it figured out. If you haven't figured it out by now - I am stubborn. When I make up my mind I want to do something, I usually find a way.

There are other social media platforms besides Pinterest where the idea is to post pictures, such as Instagram. So I figured this would be good to figure out no matter what. If you want an example of what I'm talking about, look here:

And again, I cannot post training for about another 6 weeks so - if you would like to know how, PM an email to me and I will send you a slide show.

I thought you weren't able to post affiliate links on pinterest

You're not actually putting your affiliate link on Pinterest. I pin the image which takes you back to my site which has the affiliate link. I had to put a regular image on my web page and put the affiliate link in the caption. Because the regular way amazon gives you a pic with a link, you can't pin it. I just made a work around.

Ohh gotcha! What a great idea :)

I tried one of your pins, but it take me to the baby-clothing, and not to the gifts. I know when people click and don't see what they expect, they might not look around to find it Stll a nice work-around , following you on Pinterest

thanks, I will check that out

Just wanted to let you know I fixed the link issue. Thanks for letting me know! :)

Your passion shows in everything you do.....you are totally amazing!

awww, I'm blushing now ;)

Busy bee :)

I try. :) They say the mind is a terrible thing to waste lol

I am surprised that you cannot post amazon links to Pinterest because I have always done that. I have been an amazon associate for a few years and I do post links..maybe it is different as an affiliate. I would check out your links to get a clearer understand. Glad you figured out a way though. Where thiere's a will there is always a way. Cheers

Here is one board that I pin amazon products http://www.pinterest.com/lyletteprimell/kindle-your-fire


yes, that is what I meant - an affiliate link. Sorry for not making that clear. :)

Nice job!

Thanks, bookmarking this!

That is cool, Angela. Including both links so we can see what you're talking about certainly helps with visualization. Can't wait to see your tutorial here. -Tina
