Using this plugin for a direct link on Amazon
-
Maybe I’m misreading or don’t understand how to set this up. All the questions I’ve scanned want to use this plug in as an Amazon affiliate. I just want one thumbnail to my published book, with an associated link to that book. I tried this code, but it doesn’t work. All that shows on my sidebar is the code itself.
[amazon asin=1477699597&title=The Case of a Cold Trail and a Hot Musket&thumb=https://janetchristian.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Mariana-Thumbnail.jpg&template=Link to book]
The thumb url is the one provided by WordPress for a jpg image I added to my Media library. The URL was listed on the right when I clicked on the thumbnail.
Also, the template I reference (Link to book) is coded the same as above. This seems redundant but I thought I followed the instructions.
To include a single link to my own book do I need an affiliate account? I’m only trying to send people from my blog directly to the location of my book on Amazon.
This may be a newbie question but I’ve spent two hours reading FAQs and they all seem to be about using the link as an affiliate. I appreciate any help.
