The video above shows how to create a custom Wealthy Affiliate Home Page Link and then how to redirect the Custom Home Page link to a URL.

You don't have to create the page my Friends.

The page has already been created for us by WA, You create the custom link then have the custom link redirected to the URL that you purchase.

The bought domain is so that you link doesn't look like a gaudy referral link .... for example:

https://www.wealthyaffiliate.com/a_aid/9d8brty5/campaign/sam... <- that is similar to the sample link that I created.

Notice how unattractive that is?

Would you click that?

How about a shortened link like this --> bit.ly/4788nh

Would you click that?

What if it said something like this --> PartTimeWorkOnline.com

Aren't you and/or anyone else more likely to click on that link?

Questions and comments are always welcomed, view my other training videos here at WA = https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/tonyhamilton/training

Hi Loes,

I have it redirected so that it doesn't look like a gaudy affiliate link when I share it on Instagram and Facebook my Friend.

I use pretty link for that, on my website, is that the same principle?

What does a "Pretty Link" look like Loes?

Is it similar to a go.gle link or a bit.ly link?

If so then they also don't look great on a person's Instagram bio.

Many thanks for this Tony, I didn't know how to do re-directs so this is really great training!

Can I ask what type of strategy could be used to drive traffic to the custom homepage? I ask because you mention not using the original URL for anything other than the re-direct, so not sure how this would work?

Hello Nigel,

I mainly use mine on Instagram my Friend.

I have also created a few Instagram training videos here on WA as well.

Wonderful Nigel,

You are welcome my Friend.

Instagram is my favorite place to share WA and my other Affiliate Platforms so it's definitely the Social Media site that I highly recommend.

Have a great day as well Nigel,
