Product Discovery Bookmarklet Tool

September 18, 2014 by ShareASale 13 Comments

We often hear from our Affiliates and Bloggers that the process of …

1.  Picking a product to promote

2.  Getting the link to that product.

… can be time-consuming and difficult.

So, as a result – we’ve added a Product Discovery Bookmarklet Tool for you to use to greatly narrow the amount of time from idea, to link!

(Scroll all the way to the bottom to get it)

WHEN BROWSING ON A PRODUCT YOU WANT TO PROMOTE – JUST CLICK THE PRODUCT DISCOVERY BOOKMARKLET

 

YOU’LL NEED TO BE LOGGED IN FIRST, SO LOGIN TO YOUR SHAREASALE ACCOUNT

 

FROM LEFT TO RIGHT – HERE ARE SOME FEATURES

1.  Note that the Product Discovery Tool has identified the Merchant, and come up with a link that you can immediately use to link to this product and earn commission doing so.

2.  Advanced Stuff is in the top right with the ability to add Afftrack, and get a shortened URL for social media.

3.  Choose from available images that will either come from the Datafeed on ShareASale, or the website itself.

4.  Customize the text that you would like to see in the layout, and use the green arrows to switch between available layouts.

5.  Click to view/copy the HTML or the plain link

 

Creative Code is the one that most bloggers will want to use.  There is also the URL only, and the RAW HTML which will allows a blogger to further customize before putting on a site.

 

THAT’S IT YOU’RE DONE …. OR, ADVANCED FEATURES BELOW

When a product matches as specific datafeed SKU on ShareASale, additional options are available including saving that product to a “basket” on ShareASale for later use in Make-A-Page Galleries or just to save for later.

 

Note how I am now curating a list of products to a basket called “Fall Football Items”

 

 

All of my previously curated products show up – and I’m ready to create my gallery.

 

VOILA. IN JUST A FEW SHORT MINUTES I’VE CREATED AN INTERACTIVE PIECE OF CREATIVE FOR MY READERS.

 

THIS IS AWESOME – HOW DO I GET THE PRODUCT DISCOVERY BOOKMARKLET TOOL?

We are currently accepting beta testers of the Product Discovery Tool to help us weed out any last minute bugs, and/or craft some additional features.

    Hi Ya’ll! Like Phillip, I’m a newbie as well and am looking forward to trying some of these tools. If any of you seasoned affiliate marketers have any wisdom and advise you can pass on to us newbies to help us avoid any pitfalls you may have encountered, or can help us overcome some of the mystery and challenges to affiliate marketing , please do. I’ve been looking at affiliate marketing for some time now and am finally taking the plunge. Thank you, and God bless,.

    What does it mean to “save for later”? Where does it save it to?

      Inside your account, on the Bookmarklet home it saves the URLs that you were at / saved.

    I just started using this tool and I think it’s fantastic! I am able to tweet or share affiliate product links right from the tool, which is great to alert my followers of deals I find while browsing my retailers site. Thank you for saving me my precious time!! Good work!!
