- What's going on, everyone, my name's Larry Snow
and in this video, we're gonna be taking a look
at the new Card format that Amazon announced
as part of their Amazon Native Shopping ads.
So part of their Amazon affiliate program.
If that's something you want to know more of,
stay tuned, it's coming up next.
(frequency noises)
So a few weeks ago, I did a video on how to add
an Amazon affiliate product to your Woocommerce store
and Woo Products and that got a lot of buzz,
a lot of interest.
So I was looking at
the Amazon associates website today.
Actually earlier this week, and I thought
I would share on their new Card format,
how to add that to your website
so it's another way that you can generate income
through the Amazon affiliate program.
This is very simple to implement,
as probably one of the easiest ones to implement.
There might be some confusion over
how to actually find where this is.
At least it was for me,
and hopefully it won't be for you,
because I will show you the right way to do this.
If I'm over on my Amazon associates;
so I'll go back to
home, on the Amazon associates website.
They've got a new one called the
strip format that you might be interested in, as well.
I was going under Native Shopping Ads,
'cause it was called Native Shopping Ads,
new Card format, and then under Native Shopping Ads
I was going under custom ads, because it said
you needed it, it's under the Custom tab.
Custom variant, and I'm like, I don't see
Card format here, I don't see it at all.
I'm like, what's going on?
I see Grid, List, and Strip.
I don't see, so I'm struggling with this,
struggling with this.
Then I actually read the
where is it?
I actually read the little piece of information here.
Let me just go back to that.
There it is, this is their announcement
that they came up with and they show a demo of it
in the Business Insider website
and how it looks on mobile, it looks fantastic
and then I read how to add it.
How to add this new Card format
is to go to the Amazon website itself.
Already logged into this Amazon,
already logged into your Amazon associates
account as well.
Usually they're the same account,
at least it is for me.
When you come across a product.
Let's say...
cameras.
I don't have anything set up here,
so give me a minute to find something.
Digital point & shoot cameras.
We'll just pick something.
Here we go, a Nikon.
Now if I click on that product,
up here in the left-hand corner is where you get
that custom new Card format
where it says Native Shopping Ads and
in purple it says new.
That should have caught my eye before.
I usually don't use this SiteStripe up here.
I usually go to the Amazon associates homepage
to do all of my links and everything
for my affiliate links.
I bypassed the SiteStripe completely,
and this is where you do it.
So you click on Custom.
It's gonna auto-generate this particular product.
It's gonna have your store ID,
or you can switch store IDs if you have
multiple store IDs.
It's gonna generate the code right here
and this is what exactly it's gonna look like
in your website.
So we're gonna copy and paste this URL.
I already have a post set up here.
I'm just gonna go into the text side
in your Wordpress website
and I'm just gonna find a pretty random place to put this.
I think towards the bottom would look better
and I'm gonna insert that script, that code
that Amazon gives us,
and I am going to...
and that's it.
That's all we have to do.
I was gonna center it, but I'm just gonna
take a look at it first.
So as always in Wordpress, we preview our changes
before we set everything as live.
We'll scroll down a little bit
and see if it pops up.
There's our video, and here it is.
This is exactly what it's gonna look like.
Doesn't that look fantastic?
What a simply way, easy way to add a
specific product related to your content
that you're sharing out valuable, useful
knowledge-based content to your community,
where you can add in these affiliate links
very easily and simply.
Then when a person clicks on it,
like click on Buy Now, you get your tag in there
and you're all set.
It really stands out to me,
it looks like it's part of your website
kind of as well, and I can't wait to try
this out on a whole bunch of my blog posts
and then start sharing them out through social media.
So that's it guys.
That's how easy it is to set up a
Card format on your blog posts
and pages on Wordpress or any other HTML website you have.
Thank you all for watching this video.
