Affilate links from Mobile phone App

hsk on 21/10/2017 - 22:32

My daughter wants to try and make some pocket money on her facebook page. She has joined Aliexpress as an affilate member to start with. But she is struggling with making links. Seems she needs to join another site to make 'deep links' where can she find out how to do this. OR is there a easy way without joining another site? She is 14 ☺

    Affilate

    If I knew what that was then I would try to help

    Edit. Found a definition but still confused

    Not everyday you find someone here that uses affiliate networks when we rely on them so much.

    Assuming you're in the AliExpress Portals, you'd go to Ad Center > Deep Link URLs and paste the product URL to generate an affiliate link. A common issue people have is that it'll say Portals doesn't support this product.

    People online will tell you to use the affiliate network epn.bz instead, but the real issue is the URL you're using is incorrect.

    This URL won't work as there is text after the .html?

    https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Xiaomi-Mi-Note-3-Snapdragon-660-6G-64G-FDD-Dual-12-0MP-Camera-5-5-1080P/609089_32830524358.html?spm=2114.11010108.26.2.4ed3bd27CIiDpp

    Remove the text after the .html? so it looks like this

    https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Xiaomi-Mi-Note-3-Snapdragon-660-6G-64G-FDD-Dual-12-0MP-Camera-5-5-1080P/609089_32830524358.html

    Now if you paste that it'll generate an affiliate link.

    The other thing to remember is that flash sale products are usually not supported.

    Ok so sorta getting it. That makes sense. What seems.. to be her problem is she will find some typically teenage jewellery but has no idea of how to turn that into a link.. we have had a browse through banners on the portal. But she is more interested in products she has found. On the app there doesnt seem to be a place to copy a link. As you can tell I am rather challenged with this stuff 😊 thank you

      Sorry I didn't see your reply. Android or iOS? On Android you should see this icon which will let you copy to clipboard and maybe one of these two on iOS.
