00:00Welcome back. In this video, we're going to go through how to do links and HTML codes via share
00:16a sale. So share a sale is going to look a little bit different than impact, but the concept is the
00:21same. Many of our brand partners have product catalogs just like they do in impact. And we'll
00:27also walk through what to do if you can't pull an image code from share a sale. So if you can't
00:33find the product. So to start, we already have the first two items in here. Again, you're going to want
00:39the three main tabs, your post tab, this time we'll want share a sale open, and your Word document.
00:46So we're going to start, we're going to add a new item and go into the document and we're going to
00:51start pulling the first headline and putting that into the name. And we're going to pull the
01:01description. And there's some things that we can fix. So we've got to do that. And we're going to come
01:16down here to the CTA, just like before, we're going to say, let's do pick it up here. Okay, so now we're
01:30going to go and find the items. So we'll go back to our document, just like we did before, and open up
01:36the product landing page. So this is the product we're looking for, these funny pencils. We're going
01:43to take the item name. And we're going to go back into share a sale this time. So for share a sale,
01:53we're going to go and log in. So you're going to use your affiliate login. And we're going to go
01:59instead, there's no real exact way to get here. But the best way that I found is to go to merchants
02:04and then merchant status. So you can go and scroll through, but I like to just search because I can
02:10narrow it down. I already know where I'm going because I have the link. So I know what brand
02:15partner I'm looking for. So I type perpetual kid in, click filter results. And you can come down
02:20here to where it says get links. So same situation, we're going to open this up. You're going to see
02:26there's multiple options for us to do. So when there is a product catalog available for a brand,
02:32it will say data feed. So we should be able to go in here for perpetual kid and hopefully find this
02:37item. So we're going to go start here in the data feed. And you can see there's a product search or
02:43you can search for merchant categories. So we're going to enter that item name into this box. Click
02:51go. And look at that. There they are. They say that they're in stock, which is awesome. You can also
02:58see some stuff about what the price is and how much commission we could get. We're going to do get link.
03:04So to do this piece, we're going to go and toggle between the thumbnail image and the large image.
03:11Now, the reason why I mentioned that is because some product pages have thumbnail images that are
03:15really small, like the actual size of a thumbnail. And so in that case, if you've seen something that's
03:20small, not like this, you're going to want to take the large image because you want to see
03:25something that's a little bit bigger than just a tiny image. This case, though, it doesn't matter
03:29because it looks like they've uploaded the same things. So we can come down to the thumbnail section
03:34and pull one of these. Now, I recommend pulling this first one because the other options have
03:40these little things that happen at the bottom, like it'll say pencils for zero Fs. And we don't
03:47want that to say that. We already have all of our cool things that we're going to be including in the
03:52post. So you don't have to have that. So we'll just come here, select all, copy it. So make sure
03:58you copy and paste. So once you click select all, you're going to need to still control C or command
04:03C, depending on what type of computer you're on. And we can go back into the affiliate marketing post,
04:10select image code, enter the image code, just like we did before. Then we're going to go back to share
04:16a sale and we're going to get the tracking link. So like I said, with the impact one, it's the same
04:20thing. The tracking link is already included in the image link here. But if you want just the link,
04:26we can come up to the top of that page. And there it is at the top with all of our user ID and merchant
04:31ID information on there. And we can control C and input it into the URL. So there it is. Very simple,
04:42very similar to before. We're going to save the draft.
04:44And now we can come back down and we'll add our next item. Now for the next item on our list,
04:54we're going to do one where I know for sure that there's not going to be a product catalog.
05:00So we're going to start, same situation, add new item, take the kid's hammock name,
05:06put it in there. We're going to go grab the description. This is going to feel very familiar
05:14to you since it's the same thing that we've done four times now. And we're going to go and do,
05:22let's do get it now. And I know this is from Ayamaya outdoor. Cool. So we have all of the regular
05:30things input here. And we're going to go try to find this item in the product catalogs. So we're
05:36going to open it up and I'm just going to pull this first part. We don't need the full thing.
05:42Like I said, I know that when I come in here now, when I go to the merchants, merchant status,
05:47I know that Ayamaya outdoor does not have a product catalog. And that's because I do this
05:54enough that I know which ones do and don't. But if you're not sure, this is a great way to find
06:01out. So you'll go into the merchant status, merchant search. We're going to select IMI outdoor,
06:06filter results, same way we did with perpetual kid. Go to get links. And you'll notice something
06:12a little bit different than what we saw with perpetual kid. There's only three options. So you
06:16see the default text, the banners, and the create a custom link. So you're not seeing a data feed here at
06:21all. And typically that means you're going to have to create a custom link and go and download
06:26the photo from the product landing page. So let's do that. So we're going to go do the same thing we
06:32do with impact. We're going to come here. We're going to try to select save the image as. Now this
06:39one's also showing as a JPEG, which is good. We don't have to screenshot it. Just as a reminder,
06:44if it says anything other than JPEG or PNG, especially if it says WEPP, that means web page
06:51you don't want to save that. You're going to want to screenshot. So JPEGs and PNGs though,
06:55those are perfectly fine to save into a folder. So we're still in that folder that I've created for
07:01this article specifically. So we're not having to go and search through it on our desktop.
07:06And we'll do the same thing we did before. So we're going to do portable kids hammock from
07:12IMI outdoor. Again, just as a reminder, I always put the name of the company that makes the item that
07:20way you know where it's coming from. Okay. So you're going to save. And just like with impact,
07:27we're going to take the landing page. We're going to go back into share a sale this time.
07:32And we're going to come to that custom link. So very similar, you're going to paste your URL right
07:36into this custom link generator box. Click create custom link. And we're going to grab the custom
07:43link here. Now we don't need to get the short links for any of them. And that's mainly because
07:48the short links are great for if you're just doing like one social post about one particular
07:52product. We don't need to do that because we're going to want to see all that tracking loveliness
07:57on the page in case we ever need to go in and make sure we have all the pieces there. So
08:02just take what you have here, copy and paste. And we're going to go put it right back into our post.
08:10So let's start with uploading the image that we have saved. There's the image. Great.
08:20So for this one, I'm going to say pink and light blue kids hammock.
08:30Okay. In the alt text, we don't need to do attribution. Come down here to the URL, input
08:39the URL. So this is going to be adjusted so it fits the 300 range. This photo is a little
08:47bit taller than most. So it's shortening it for us just a little bit. Or I'm sorry, the
08:54width is a little bit shorter than what we were working with before. So this is just going
08:59to give it the adjusted size based on the medium size. Insert that into post. There's
09:07the image. It's just great. Go to the button URL, add your tracking links, and you are all
09:14done. We can come back up to the top, click save and preview the links. You can just make
09:21sure everything looks good. You don't have to preview the link every time, but maybe the
09:25first couple of times you do it, kind of get used to it. You can see that this image
09:29here is there and there's the image from the product from the hammock. So everything is
09:36in there now. We have Ayamaya, shop this, all of these pieces are in there and beautiful
09:42and ready to go. So that's going to do it for your share a sale video.
