amazon affilates and facebook offers

hi all,
Im experimenting promoting my affiliate links via facebook, but know we are restricted by using ads to the amazon and have to actually link to our own site.

Is boosting posts allowed?
How about facebook offers? Is that allowed? Seems like it can be a good way to promote a special offer.

thanks

    How did you do that? Copied the code into a post?
    Im think offers can be a great thing if allowed.

    Amazon does allows posting links on Social networks as long as those "profiles" are your own. So yes, you can boost posts but I'll just reconfirm this if I were you, since Amazon is known to suspend affiliate account without any notice.

    There a video that can found on youtube. I have it bookmarked on my pc. Problem is im at a bar with some friends. Now what I also did was used an autoposter post the offers. After a week on from using that I saw my sales jump by 45%. Just think outside the box.

    Facebook traffic converts well when compared with social medias. Facebook and amazon are good combos but only specific niches work well with them. Like pinterest works well for women products. You need to do your trial and error to find out what works and what doesnt works.

    If you are having an website as intermediate and then having the amazon products on the site you are more safe than directly promoting the product.

    sorry if was unclear.
    Im talking about the facebook offers feature.
    When posting you can post as a "status" or photo or offer/event
    I want to know if I can take advantage of this offer feature by offering some promo on my site...or my amazon affilate link.
    thanks

    Have you done any split testing? You should consider posting a 'Journey" thread. I'd love to follow you along on this campaign (been looking into this same stuff in my free time lately)

    Mixed results. Its actually not as good as I thought.
    Users cant even click on the link, it just sends them an email with the offer. Kind of 2 steps for nothing. Little disappointed.
    Ill go back to regular posts
