How to Add an Affiliate Link to a YouTube Video

Now that the BubblePly service is no longer available, I had to find a new way to embed affiliate links in YouTube videos.

The following video shows you how to generate commissions by adding affiliate links to videos that are embedded on your blog using the LinkedTube service.

Do you know of other ways to do this? Please go ahead and share in the comments section below.

Cheers,

  1. This is the one I use, too – very simple and easy to implement.

  2. Scott Hazard says:

    Thanks, Ros. That’s just what I needed!!

  3. Neill says:

    Nice tip Ros – Thanks. Too bad you can’t do that on the Youtube site itself.
    Of course big G would never allow that unless they were getting a piece
    of the action.

  4. Art LeVine says:

    Hi Ros, Great info as always. I was wondering, though, you said it was not for embedding in video ON YouTube, only for a YouTube video on your website. How do you embed your site info on the video ON YouTube?

  5. Doug N says:

    Great tip Ros. I just tried it out and it worked perfect.
    Thank You

  6. Alek says:

    Hi Rosalind,
    thanks for this useful info about LinkedTube – looks very useful as I didn’t know about this cool thing.
    All the best

  7. Ed Durham says:

    This is a great piece of information. I have been working with a plugin that was supposed to provide similar capabilities, but it “misfires” at several levels. This is a great solution for using YouTube videos embedded into my sites. I will be watching the metrics to see the difference being able to link will make.

    Thanks for another super post. You are always able to sniff out the cutting-edge stuff that will help have better results.

  8. Wendy Owen says:

    That’s great Ros! Does it have to be a video you have created yourself?

    Thanks

  9. As per putting your affiliate link in a You tube video would this be permissible as to the Youtube policies?.

  10. tony says:

    Does this only work for your own videos or can you place a button over other youtube videos you embed on your website?

  11. Jon says:

    try http://www.viewbix.com as easy to use but with more functionality and ability to share on facebook, twitter, etc.

  12. Jestine says:

    Hi Rosalind,

    Thanks for the good tip!

  13. Robin says:

    Great tip Rosalind. However, when I did this when I came back to my website, the embedded code, my affiliate link and everything else “hidden” now shows up. Any idea what I did wrong. I followed your video, I thought..

  14. craig says:

    Excellent share, Rosalind! It’s amazing to discover the tools that I had no idea even existed. Thank you for making the rest of us aware of this very cool tool. Craig

  15. Lee says:

    Anyone know a way to get this to work with a video in a Squidoo lens?
    I can get a live link to the video on LinkTube (with all their ads) by embedding the code in a text mod.
    In the video mod, when I replace the YouTube URL with the LinkTube URL it just reverts to the original YouTube video – no aff link!

  16. Neat little tip Ros, but I don’t see the excitement.

    I can see the significance if it was ON YouTube, but on your own blog you can put the affiliate link anywhere in the post…what am I missing?

  17. Wendy Owen says:

    Hi, I’ve already asked this but have had no answwer. Does the video have to be one you have created yourself or can it be any video?

    Thanks
    Wendy

  18. But sometimes our affiliate link was hacked by somebody. That is they purchased without our affiliate link. How can we rectify this..

  19. Nicole says:

    Great post Ros! It is really useful… I would really be using this next time i’ll be posting something in You Tube…. Thanks for sharing your thoughts…

  20. selfishyayun says:

    I’ve never opened the account youtube
    I also never make a video because I do not have a camera to make it

  21. Jill Mooney says:

    Great learning from you Ros! This will help me a lot in the near future!
    Cheers!
