How to write an affiliate product review – Step by step instructions

Assuming that you have already read my other post on HOW TO WRITE A PRODUCT REVIEW we are going to cover the AFFILIATE part of your product review. If you did not here you can read about how to write a review.

What is an Affiliate product review?

An Affiliate product review is a review which contains your personal Affiliate link.

Here at WhoopingReviews.com you are allowed to submit your reviews to us and include your Affiliate link or a link to your website. Click here to download the Review template.

What is a personal Affiliate link?

An Affiliate link is a piece of code given to you, which you (the Author) add to your product review.  When the reader clicks on your link it will take them to the product page.  If the reader buy’s the product the Affiliate website who provided you with your affiliate link, will be able to track the sale and connect it to you. In turn you will be paid an X amount for the sale.

Where do I get an Affiliate link?

Most of the big Companies out there has their own Affiliate programs which you can join. Amazon and Walmart are just two examples of companies who have their own independent affiliate programs. If you go to Amazon.com and scroll down to the very bottom of the page you will see a link called ‘Become an Affiliate’. You can sign up by providing your details such as your email address, country, name, and website. Some programs will have to approve your website or review before accepting you.  Once you have successfully registered you will be provided with a snip-let of code. Here is an example of what that might look like.

Once you have obtained your code you can insert it as a link into your review.

The great thing about this piece of code is that it is unique to you. If a potential customer clicks on your link and ends up on Amazon’s site, they may not end up buying the exact product which you recommended in your review but might buy something else. As long as they did not refresh their browser that sale will still be logged to you and you will receive a percentage of the sale. Amazon does not give very high percentages on their sales but their website converts well and most people end up buying more than one thing at a time as the Amazon website is continually suggesting other items or products to their visitors. This increases your revenue.

Where can I find Affiliate programs?

There are millions of Affiliate programs out there.  You can easily just search in Google for ‘Affiliate Programs’ and there will be thousands to choose from.  There are a few Affiliate programs which host the affiliate program on behalf of companies. Joining such a program will give you access to many other Companies and their products.  You can make a living off writing reviews and adding your affiliate links to your reviews.

Wealthyaffiliate.com is an example of a site with their own independent Affiliate Program. They pay a decent amount for each referral which becomes a paying customer.
