    here is a quick/easy tip not related with reply


    I´ve a new free site that allows hosting your affiliate links called picmecca.com. You can simply paste your amazon or ebay affiliate link, for example, on the Post your Image / Video page, fetch the product image, select an appropriate category, and a clickable product image with your affiliate link will be hosted on picmecca.com. Later you can simply pin the image on Pinterest using the Pin it button. For videos, you would need to Pin the video image, not the video (in case of youtube videos). This way you don´t waste your time uploading affiliate links directly on Pinterest, cause they disable affiliate codes.

    Note: only post on "Visitors" category at the bottom of the category tree.


    check 2 sample pages hosting amazon affs

    Did you made money with this method and what about driving traffic to the affiliate pages?

    This is hosting for your affiliate links, only. The way to get traffic is using Pinterest.com, or Tapiture.com, and such. That´s how I generate traffic.

    Offering other people hosting for their aff links could be considered silly, but that´s exactly what I am offering here :) The only site on the web right now.

    Check the links in the original post. You can host product images and videos too.

    Have I made money using this method? I am just starting this online business so only 35 dollars so far, but there is money to be made without a doubt, or Internet doesn´t exist. I trust the project, and the idea.

    Hi Guys,

    I use Pinterest to drive traffic to my blog, takes a while but once you have like 2k plus followers, create a board related to your niche and post content from your blog directly to that pin board. It is impressive!!

    I would never trust any third party site with my affiliate link, especially if they are doing it for free.

    Just my opinion, There are much easier ways to do this if you feel it is necessary. The best way being a link directly to your website and having your affiliate link there

    Did you give the site a try? There is no tampering with you affiliate links at all. Not everybody has his/her own website, with a .com domain name, blah blah... where to place affiliate links

    It´s free currently. If you wish to be charged, send me a PM :)

    I did not give it a try. And everything you say might be true. But, still, I will not trust my affiliate links to any third party and I strongly suggest to others they be very careful when they do. There is no such thing as a Free Lunch

    You can check your link´s integrity 24/7. There´s no catch, and the site´s sought reward is to get some traffic back to it when you post your link somewhere. That´s all.

    Hmmm...interesting...hopefully this lines up with Pinterest's terms of service. I know sometimes makers of apps try to work around guidelines. However, you need to be careful about what you're doing in the process.

    You don´t need to focus on Pinterest for publishing only... there are more sites. Also, as long as you don´t ABUSE in any way, there´s no problem
