I now have Amazon Affiliate status outside the U.S.! If you usually buy things on a foreign Amazon site, then when you click an Amazon link on my site (any link in any article or on any of my recommendations pages), it should redirect to your nation’s Amazon page. If you then put anything in your cart there within 24 hours of that click-through, and check out with that cart within that period, I get a commission on everything you bought in your cart. Even if it’s weird stuff (from diamond rings to mechanical diggers). And even if it’s not the thing you clicked through for.
The countries this should work for include:
• Canada
• United Kingdom
• France
• Germany
• Italy
• Netherlands
• Poland
• Spain
• Sweden
And of course, as always, the United States.
In the event the re-routing doesn’t work for you (or you are using a VPN to mimic another country) but you want it to, I have built a global version of My Books Page. It has direct links to every nation’s Amazon site. You can use one of those links to get the process started, then start filling your cart, even if you don’t buy what you clicked through. Please use all this liberally! It’s a great way to support me while shopping for yourself or others!
I use your link to get to Amazon and then make my purchases. However, when I arrive at the Amazon site I sign into Amazon Prime and receive your percentage.
It should still all work. The Amazon site tags the carry-through URL to track you as a customer. You can check that by looking at the URL of the page you land on after logging in: it should contain a unique identifier (a temporary tag) that its servers use to tell that you are the same person who followed an affiliate link to the login page.
If it doesn’t (if the resulting URL is stripped clean), then yes, it is dissolving that information. The way around this is to go back to my site and click through the same link again, while you are still logged in at Prime.
And I assume you receive your percentage of the purchase. Hopefully still works when signing in to Prime.
It should.
