I just checked out Amazon’s video widget and it’s a piece of cake to use. Once you’re in the Amazon affiliate interface, you just:
- Click on Build Links/Widgets
- Click on ‘Add to Your Web Page’ under Your Video Widget
- Click on Upload a Video
- Browse and Select a video to upload from your computer
- Agree to the Terms
- Give Your Video Widget a title
- Upload the Video and wait for it to process (Refresh the page to check the processing status)
- Play the Video and Click on Add Product at the point you wish to insert the popup
- Enter the name of the product you wish to insert
- Click on the Add Product button beside the product
- Save and preview your video
- Grab the code and embed it on your site
In the example below, I added a book called The Ultimate Guide to Spas and Hot Tubs : Troubleshooting and Tricks of the Trade

About Rosalind Gardner
Rosalind, this video insertion into your page violates your own rule about not adding video that begins downloading without the visitors permission. you might want to look into how that can be avoided.
Hi Stephen,
Weird, but it doesn’t start automatically for me. Hmm… I’ll look into it though.
Thanks,
Ros
