Finally, after 4 days I figured out how to do it. For some reason the get link then copy link to html section of my webpage wasn't working. No matter what I did it was just a blank area and it never actually showed up. I did find if you type into google how can i create a link without using html coding at amazon associates. A screen will come up it will tell you How can I create a link without using HTML coding?

You can link directly to the Amazon.com homepage or an item's detail page. Your visitors simply have to visit URLs with the correct Associate IDs inserted. You should use the following format examples to construct your links:

Amazon.com Homepage: http://www.amazon.com/?tag=your_Associates_ID(you must change "your_Associates_ID to match your unique Associates ID or tracking ID)

Detail Page: http://www.amazon.com/dp/ASIN/?tag=your_Associates_ID

For the detail page link, be sure to replace “ASIN” with the product ASIN or ISBN found on the item’s detail page.

So as long as you add your associates ID in the your associates ID spot as well as well switch the ASIN to the product ASIN or ISBN. It works, and you can plug that code literally anywhere on a picture of the image you want or just text with the name of the image. Before you do however, I would suggest that you go to the links and banners tab which is top left one in amazon associates and on the bottom its called link checker.

Plug your link that you created into the link checker and if it comes back success BOOM it works! I was stuck on this for 4 days my html coding was not working no matter what I did. So this takes a few more steps but it works!
