The way to add an affiliate link to an audible.com book is easier than you might think. As an affiliate, you probably already know how to go to Commission Junction (CJ) and get audible's banners and links for your site, like the one to your left. But what about when you have a special book you'd like to promote? To do that, just follow the steps listed here. |
You will need:
1. Your Audible PID number. PID stands for Publisher ID. It also stands for "the way to get paid."
2. The URL for the product you want to promote.
How to get your PID number:
1. Sign into CJ. You must be signed in to get your PID number.
2. Go to the Audible books section for getting links and banners. You get there from CJ's home page by clicking on "Get links" and then click on "By Relationships."
3. Once you see the word Audible, click "view links."
4. In the far right-hand column, you'll see: get JAVA or HTML link.
5. Click on the option to "get HTML" and a box will pop up.
6. Inside this box, you will see your PID. Copy this number. If you need to write this number down, do so, because you'll need it shortly.
How to get the product URL:
1. Go to the Audible website.
2. Search for the product you want.
3. Make sure that you click through to the page where only the book you want to promote is being advertised. This page will include things like customer ratings and similar products that other customers have bought.
4. Scroll down to the very bottom of this page and do a right-mouse click on the word "Affiliates." If you do a right-mouse click, you will see the option to open this link in a new tab. Click on this option.
5. When this page opens, near the top of the page, you'll see "Audible's Affiliate Program" in bright orange letters. Beneath these words, you'll see a tab that says "Link Generator." Click on this tab.
6.The link generator will now be visible. You will see the box where you need to paste in your PID. Paste your PID in that box.
7. Now, go back to the tab that has the book you want to link to and copy that URL. The URL is the web address at the very top of the page. It's the www.nameofthepageorsite.com.
8. Next, click on the link generator tab that you previously opened and paste this URL in the specified box. Then click the bright orange button that says "Build Link."
9. After you do this, a third box will appear, containing a new URL that includes your PID. Paste this new URL into the hyper link you create on your site.
10. For an example of the final product, click on this title: Casino Royale.
If you have any problems following this, let me know and I'll see if I can help.
