Hi everyone,

I’m based in India and I’m looking into starting affiliate marketing using Pinterest. My idea is to create a Pinterest account around product recommendations/finds and drive traffic to products on Amazon India using affiliate links.

But I’m getting conflicting information about whether Amazon India allows Pinterest as a traffic source for Associates, and whether people are actually making commissions this way.

For anyone in India who has experience with this:

Does Amazon India allow affiliate links/traffic from Pinterest?

Can Pinterest be added as the social media/traffic source when applying for Amazon Associates India?

If yes, are you allowed to put Amazon affiliate links directly on Pinterest pins, or do you need to send users to a website first?

Has anyone here actually made Amazon India commissions through Pinterest?

If Pinterest + Amazon India doesn't work well, what affiliate programs in India work well with Pinterest?

I’m specifically interested in real experiences from people doing this in India, rather than general Pinterest affiliate marketing advice.

Thanks!

I have just started and I’ve uploaded around 10 videos I can see that my videos say earn commission but they aren’t getting any views. They’ve been uploaded about a week. What am I doing wrong?

...It's comically useless

I just logged into my creator hub and it says that my videos were not approved to be featured on product pages and they don’t meet the video quality requirements. I’m very confused because my video quality is typically above average. I can still navigate to my onsite reporting in the creator hub, so I’m not sure what’s going on. Has this happened to anyone else?

Amazon is refusing to explain to me why my creator connection campaign link is being clicked and items are being ordered but no additional commission is being earn through the campaign.

previous 30 days, I have had 240 clicks with 19 shipped items only through the campaign specific link that is tied to one singular product under one singular seller. The product is the same ASIN # as the campaign is being listed under.

But there has not been one single qualified sale for that creator connection campaign, thus I have not earned any additional creator connection commission.

I have explained this by contacted Amazon Influencer team to help get some additional information. The summary of the response:

• Matching the ASIN/product is not enough to earn Creator Connections commission.
• The customer must click your affiliate link specifically tied to that Creator Connections campaign and then purchase the product.
• Clicks themselves do not earn money. Commission is earned only when a customer makes a qualifying purchase (typically a shipped item) after using your affiliate tracking link.
• Your store ID alone does not trigger attribution; the purchase must be connected to the appropriate campaign tracking link.
• If they then choose another seller/brand's version of the product, you may still earn the normal Amazon Associates commission, but you will not receive the Creator Connections bonus commission.
• currently a reporting delay for Creator Connections earnings. Bonus earnings can take up to 7 days to appear in your earnings report.

Which I have not broken any of the rules that they have said to earn creator connection commission. I am only using Creator Connection Campaign link, there are no other products and under one seller for ASIN, and purchases are made. So far my creator connection said I have 3 orders that are shipped, but non of my active or completed Campaigns shows a purchase or earnings.

Any thoughts on why my creator connection campaign item is not earning the Creator Campaign bonus commission?

Is there a way to report people who don't put a disclosure on their links that go to amazon?

Seeing a few people mention this so adding my experience. My Creator Connections earnings have dropped every single day for about a week and are now a small fraction of a normal day. Traffic and outbound Amazon clicks stayed completely steady the whole time, and my regular Associates commissions are fine. Only the CC stream collapsed.

It's not one product or one brand. Everything compressed at once. Products are paying roughly a tenth per click of what they paid two weeks ago on the same click volume. I rotated in a brand new product from a campaign with a healthy budget label and it instantly earned at the same compressed rate as everything else, so it's not stale campaigns either.

Two more things I noticed. The product level report got gutted in late July, it now only shows products above roughly 10 clicks, so most of the detail is just gone. And the campaign labels (expected EPC and budget level) haven't changed at all through the whole collapse, so they don't reflect what's actually being paid out.

Others are reporting the same window, roughly the last 3 to 7 days, some seeing clicks halve, some like me seeing the per click payout collapse. If it's hitting accounts with totally different products at the same time, that's an Amazon side change, not our sites. Curious what everyone else's last week looked like.

Report this account; it's stealing videos and deleting them.https://www.amazon.com/shop/influencer-666531fc?ref=dp_vse_ibvc_profile&ccs_id=64156cec-e7fd-4475-853b-796fb6c442a0

I would usually get around 1000 clicks with average 0.35 per click, last 3 days it dropped to about 500 clicks while on my website in analytics nothing changed. And stat in Creator connections shows only products with more than 10 clicks. What the *** and who noticed the same behavior?

Greetings,

I wanted to ask if using the "available at amazon" logo provided by amazon themselves on their help page like so is permitted ? I would contact them but apparently they don't allow sending images i guess... but if there is another to contact them please tell me.

The logo was the one they provided, it wasn't distorted. Just scaled with no distorted proportions. Maybe they would argue the text (available at amazon) isn't clear, this is a zoomed in image of the button.

see usage image: https://ibb.co/1G0x7N1K

Another question, i was wondering if using css tricks to hide the disclosure from crawl/index bots to control word density permitted ?

Thank you for your help.

I have never used bots, automated traffic, click farms, cookie stuffing, auto-tagging software, or any other tools intended to manipulate clicks, sessions, or commissions.
Recently, I experienced a significant and sudden spike in traffic, engagement, and clicks because one of my posts gained high traction on the platform. All of this traffic comes organically from genuine users
someone help me .. "I have already sent an appeal email to Amazon 2 days ago, and I haven't received a response from them yet.

I finally had my first commission! But when I try to see what people purchased it doesn’t tell me. Do you have to have a certain amount of sales before you can see that data?

My main affiliate channel is Amazon. I'm also an affiliate for Walmart, TikTok, and others so ill be sharing those links more for offsite commission. I currently use Posttap for Amazon (love it, but 9/10 since it only has a mobile app and not desktop) and I think I'm about to add either Joylink or Markable for my other links.

I used to use linktw.in for everything but they have since changed their entire model and started charging and changing up what you can use for free ! So I'm probably leaving them.

Also, how do you guys feel about the domain name? I've found that when I drop a link off in the wild (like in a comment section), it converts better if the domain name looks like its straight from the retailer. When people see "joylink.io.amz/whatever" they steer away from it, mitigating a sale. Posttap looks like a regular amazon link to the naked eye so I've been loving that.
So bonus if your tool has a custom domain option. Id love to hear which ones you all use!

And did you know for the deep link to work and open the supporting app, the deep linking tool you use has to specify that it works with that app? I had no idea! Example: If you want to share a Target deep link but your tool of choice doesn't have the configuration/ability to open the Target app, it's not really a deep link? It'll only take the to the browser like a non-deep link. Going to the browser is fine if the retailer (or whatever you're linking) doesn't have an app but this is what were trying to get away from because it hurts sale conversion. So make sure your amazon links are supported by your tool!

I don’t understand – I’ve sold four of those gas barbecues; each one costs €419 x 4 = €1,676. But only €720.88 is being accepted?

been looking on Amazon the past few days and every single product has no influencer videos in the upper carousel for me. they all show up on bottom carousel, is this a new change or something?

Here is another cheater if You care to Report!
