Are you an influencer, content creator, or small business owner looking to add Amazon links to your Instagram bio?

Instagram is a popular platform for connecting with a wide audience through visually engaging content. One effective way to monetize your presence is by adding affiliate links, such as those from Amazon. However, Instagram doesn’t allow adding links to posts.

In this article, we'll share how to easily add multiple Amazon links to your Instagram bio to drive more clicks and help you earn more.

Adding affiliate links to your Instagram bio is a great way to monetize your Instagram account. Here are two methods to easily add Amazon links to your Instagram bio.

Instagram offers a built-in feature that allows you to add up to 5 important links to your bio. This native option makes it easy to share your Amazon affiliate links with your followers.

Before we start, you'll need to get your Amazon affiliate link. To do this, log into your approved Amazon affiliate account, search for the product you want to promote, and generate your unique affiliate link.

Once you have the link, let's now add it to your Instagram bio:

  1. Head to your Instagram profile and tap Edit Profile.
  2. Look for the Links section and choose Add External Link.
  3. Paste your Amazon affiliate link in the designated field.
  4. In the text field, enter the product name to let your followers know what the link is about.
  5. Hit the checkmark button, and you're done!

That's it! Your Amazon affiliate link is now visible on your Instagram profile, making it easy for your followers to access the products you're promoting.

While this method is straightforward, it may not be the most visually appealing or click-compelling option. The plain Amazon link can look long and unattractive in your bio. Don't worry, though – there's a more effective method available, which we'll explore next.

If you're looking to maximize the clicks to your affiliate links, a bio link page is a more effective option. Unlike the standard Instagram bio, a link in bio page allows you to showcase more than 5 links in an attractive, organized format.

The best part? You can even add compelling product boxes that are displayed when followers click a button on your bio page. This can significantly boost your click-through rates (CTR).

While there are many bio link tools available, we recommend using Social to create your bio link page. It’s a WordPress plugin that allows you to create a fully customizable and visually appealing bio page on your own domain. This gives you complete control over which links you want to add to your bio page.

It includes other benefits such as:

  • Detailed analytics to track link performance.
  • Full design control to match your brand aesthetic.
  • Attention-grabbing animations and icons.
  • Display content from other platforms such as Pinterest, YouTube, TikTok, and more through direct integration.
  • Shortcode support to display content from other plugins.

These features not only make your bio link page more engaging but also help in increasing conversions.

Now that we understand the benefits of a bio link page, let's walk through the steps to create one using Social.

1. Install the Required Plugins

To get started, you'll need to prepare your WordPress site with the right plugins. Begin by purchasing and installing the Social plugin on your WordPress site.

Next, install the Affiliatable plugin. This handy plugin will allow you to create eye-catching product boxes that are proven to boost click-through rates.

Pro tip: After you've created your product box with Affiliatable, copy the shortcode and keep it handy. We'll be using it in a later step, so having it ready will help you follow along.

2. Choose a Template for Your Bio Page

Social makes it incredibly easy to get started with professionally designed templates. To begin, navigate to the Social page in your WordPress dashboard and click the All Templates button. You'll be presented with a variety of pre-designed options to choose from.

Social templates for content creators

To find the perfect template, use the filters provided at the top. Once you've found a template that catches your eye, hover over it and click the Use template button.

This will launch the bio page wizard, which will guide you through customizing your page.

Once your bio page is ready, open the editor to start adding Amazon affiliate links to your page.

Open the Social Editor

Click the Explore button and look for the Shortcode button under the Share your content category.

Add shortcode button to bio page

Add the button to your page, give it a title, and then paste the Affiliatable shortcode you saved earlier. This will add the shortcode button to your bio page which when clicked will display a visually appealing product box.

Social also includes some other amazing features. You can add an eye-catching icon or image to each button, making them visually distinct and more engaging. Want to grab your follower’s attention? You can also add animations to your buttons.

These customization options don’t just make your bio page look good. They help your Amazon affiliate links get more clicks from your followers.

That’s it! This is how easy it is to create an Instagram bio page and add Amazon affiliate links using the Social plugin.

Adding Amazon affiliate links to your bio is a great way to earn money from your Instagram account. While its native link option provides a basic solution, creating a custom bio page with a tool like Social offers a more powerful, flexible, and professional approach.

Social allows you to consolidate all your Amazon affiliate links on a single, visually appealing page. This makes it incredibly easy for your followers to discover and purchase the products you're recommending. Plus, with features like shortcode embeds and animations, you can create an engaging experience that encourages clicks and conversions.
