Reviews with Amazon Links

by JakeAng
12 replies
Is there somewhere I can find a writer willing to write game reviews, with an Amazon Associates link within the review linking to the game or a related product, to display on my website?

Or would I have to pay per review just like with articles and put my own affiliate links in the article?

    Why would you want someone elses affiliate links in the reviews?

    You can only have links on sites which you can control so you wouldn't be able to ask someone to write a review and have their links in the review.

    So you'll have to pay per review. Don't order too many reviews at once though because you maybe disappointed with the quality and they may not do a good job at re-writing them. Something to keep in mind.

      I think what he really want is a writing service that includes adding amazon affiliate links in the reviews.

      On topic: I'm guessing most (including us) can include adding affiliate links to the article if customers add that detail in the order.

        I don't understand the point of that. It takes only seconds to add a link. Why would a writer do it. Im sure the OP will explain.

    Sorry, I didn't explain clearly enough, I'm looking for someone to expand the content on my website. So I increase traffic and maybe get some traffic frequently visiting the site and reading reviews.

    This way, the writer gets traffic for me, so I make money from general ads on the site, while they get to keep however much they make from the affiliate link in their article. I would be writing reviews at the same time, with my link. Not really sure how to explain this, or whether any writer would be interested in that.

      As you can only have links on sites you can control, I don't think it's possible. You could use your own affiliate links and tell the writer you will send them any commision the review gets, but it maybe hard to find a writer that will agree to that.

      Alternatively you could contact site owners in your niche and ask them if they want to write guest posts in exchange for links to their site. This would expand the content on your site and increase traffic.

        Oh I see, so no-one would be interested in putting their article on a site like this? I'd have to find a writer that literally just wants to write without having to make a site of their own etc.

    Better to get reviews written on specific keywords at elance or iwriter. Why have somebody else's aff link?

      Basically I want to expand the content on my website, to build up readership, while at the same time not having to pay the writer, as they'd be earning from the links they place in the article. I basically add content to my site for free, and they earn from the links.

      I'd be writing reviews at the same time, I just wanted to expand faster to increase traffic. Would this work?

        No, you are not providing benefit to the writer.

        Nobody works for free.

        Yes, this can work. If you can get somebody to write for your blog or site in exchange for a backlink, they should be happy. It depends upon mutual understanding, but I think you can find somebody. Post in forums with your contact info. Best of luck!

    You only pay writers if you can make more from the article when it's put on your website or in an article directory, so if I just provide the platform for the articles, all of the money made from that article would go to them. Is that not paying them more than usual?
