Find out now how <\/em>camouflage your affiliate links<\/em><\/strong> for dissemination!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are a novice or experienced affiliate, the first thing you need to know is that the link that will be advertised needs to be different from the producer's sales page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sites like Hotmart<\/a>, Monetizze, Eduzz, Braip and others provide a link that has the company's url\/domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It usually comes with some unique code, numbers and letters, in the url provided by the platform\/affiliate program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The affiliate links provided are generally \u201cugly\u201d and to the lay public it may be considered a strange link or even \u201ccatch a virus\u201d if you click on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I don't take away the reason many people don't click on them, as they have characters and numbers that turns out to be very different from a url like kevinbk.com, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

tracking sales<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before camouflaging your affiliate link, it would be good to set the necessary parameters for you to know where the sale came from and better measure your results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main platforms already offer this option to add the SRC and UTM parameter, which is simple to implement, see the examples below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hotmart<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In hotLinks (as hotmart calls affiliate links) you only need to add a word to identify where the sale came from: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

https:\/\/go.hotmart.com\/K12708901B?src<\/strong>=kbk<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O <\/em>kbk<\/em><\/strong> I used it as an example. Choose any word you like with up to 30 characters<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the case of Alternative HotLinks they already have the "?" so we can't use the question mark again but the symbol "&<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

https:\/\/go.hotmart.com\/K12708901B?ap=6856&src<\/strong>=kbk<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monetizze<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At Monetizze they usually provide 3 links, one standard, one shortened and one exclusive to social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

http:\/\/kevinbk.com\/\/linkdomestika<\/p>\n\n\n\n

shortened link<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

http:\/\/kevinbk.com\/\/linkdomestika<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Link to Social Networks <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

http:\/\/kevinbk.com\/\/linkdomestika<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As it happens on hotmart or any platform, when the link contains "?" replace with \u201c&\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have an option in Monetizze<\/a> for you to generate your affiliate link. on the menu at Tools<\/strong> >> Urls <\/strong>you will see fields to fill in url, src and UTM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Monetizze

Eduzz<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Eduzz, unlike the previous ones, only provides a link and we can only add the UTM parameter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order not to complicate things, I advise you to generate your link in Links<\/em> is on Product<\/em> choose one, then click URL Creator:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Criador

A pop up will open to configure UTM:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Braip<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In Braip, the procedure is the same, but you can also generate the ready-made url in Tools >> URL Generator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Gerador<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

You may have already noticed that these tools provided by the platforms offer, in addition to the SRC, the UTM parameter. If you have any questions, there is a article explaining how they work<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Link Shorteners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We already know that affiliate links may not be presentable and still be long. A simple way to camouflage it is using a url shortener.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most famous is undoubtedly bitly, because in a few steps we can shorten and even customize the link:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The process is simple, you create an account and then just shorten any link you want by clicking on the CREATE button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Encurtar

There are hundreds of shorteners, choose one that allows you to analyze clicks, origin and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternative indication for you to analyze rebrandly<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hotmart also has a tool to shorten the link. Inside your account, go to Products >> I'm an Affiliate and choose a product and in the Hotlink or Alternative Hotlink tab we have the option to copy, shorten and access as in the image below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Encurtar

By clicking on Shorten<\/em> you are redirected to another screen where you can choose the hotlink.:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Escolher

On the next screen you customize the shortened link and place the parameters you deem necessary and then click on \u201cNext\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adicionar

In the next step, just check if everything is correct and click on \u201cFinish\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WordPress Plugin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For those who use the WordPress CMS<\/a> you can install several free or paid plugins (Premium) to manage your links. I believe it is one of the simplest and most effective ways to manage, as we can change it if the product goes down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I'll give as an example the plugin I've been using for many years for simplicity and ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Affiliate Links Lite<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The installation of Affiliate Links plugin<\/a> it's simple like any other plugin in the WordPress directory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although it has a premium version, the free one is more than enough to manage your affiliate links. Its main functions are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
