On the desktop, just go to the top of the product page. (Make sure the affiliate’s strip is turned on.) Grab the link and ta-da. That’s it.

Find Amazon Affiliate link on mobile

Writing blog posts and sharing content from your phone has become increasingly common. As a blogger using the Jetpack app on my iPhone to write and publish blog posts, I often want to include Amazon Affiliate links in my content, even when blogging on the go.

When I come across a product I’d like to recommend to my readers while browsing Amazon on my phone, it’s not as simple to grab the affiliate link as it is on desktop. This means I need to find a way to easily create and copy Amazon Affiliate links directly on my mobile device.

The same need applies when sharing product recommendations or other content on social media from my phone. Whether I’m sharing a link on Threads or sharing on LinkedIn, I want any links that point back to Amazon to include my Affiliate ID so I can earn commissions on resulting sales.

Having an easy way to generate Amazon Affiliate links on my iPhone ensures I can maximize my earnings potential even when blogging and sharing content from my mobile device. With the right tools, grabbing an affiliate link to use in my blog posts or social media updates takes just a couple of quick taps, making it painless to integrate into my on-the-go workflows.
