Automate your affiliate engine—

What you can automate

This stack keeps your affiliate machine running while you sleep. All steps are modular—start small, then expand.

1) Product feed

Pull product data (title, image, price) from your research source or spreadsheet. Prepare for manual review to stay compliant.

2) Link tagging

Attach your Amazon Associates tag (e.g., ?tag=yourtag-20) and shorten links for tracking (Bitly, Rebrandly, or self‑hosted).

3) Content generation

Create short post copy and UTM parameters. Optionally add an AI step for variations and A/B testing.

4) Auto‑posting

Publish to Pinterest, X, Facebook Pages, LinkedIn, or a blog CMS using n8n credentials and schedules.

5) Scheduling

Use CRON or a queue to post at optimal times. Enforce a manual approval lane when needed.

6) Analytics

Capture clicks and conversions in a sheet or database; roll up daily/weekly digests to email or Slack.

Example n8n workflow (pseudocode)

Trigger (Cron: every 2h)
  → Fetch Items (Google Sheet / CSV / API)
    → Filter (in‑stock, price range)
      → Map (add ?tag=yourtag-20 & UTM)
        → Optional: AI (rewrite caption + hashtags)
          → Branch: Pinterest → Create Pin
          → Branch: X/Twitter → Create Tweet
          → Branch: Facebook Page → Create Post
            → Log (Sheet/DB)
              → Digest (Email weekly)

Tip: add a Manual Approval node before posting to stay 100% compliant with the Amazon Associates Program and platform policies.

Minimal post template

{{product_title}} — now {{price}}.
{{one_line_benefit}}

See it here: {{short_affiliate_link}}
#deals #finds #onSale #affiliate

Always disclose affiliate relationships (e.g., “As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.”).

Get started in minutes

Sign up for Amazon Associates and note your tracking ID.
Prepare a source: a Google Sheet or CSV with product URLs, titles, images, and notes.
Install n8n (Cloud or self‑host). Create credentials for the social platforms you’ll post to.
Build the workflow from the steps above. Start with one destination (e.g., Pinterest) and expand later.
Test with approvals, disclose affiliate status, and schedule your first week.

Starter Google Sheet (columns)

A: product_url
B: title
C: image_url
D: price
E: benefits
F: category
G: post_variation (optional)
H: status (ready / hold)

Keep it simple. Your sheet is your queue; n8n moves rows from ready → posted.

FAQ

Is this compliant with Amazon Associates?

Yes—if you follow the rules: do not scrape Amazon; always use approved product data, disclose affiliate relationships, avoid incentivized clicks, and respect rate limits. Use a manual review step and keep records of your sources.

Which platforms work best to start?

Pinterest and a simple blog (for evergreen SEO) are great starting points. Expand to X/FB/LinkedIn once your content style is dialed in.

Do I need AI?

No. Start with human‑written templates for clarity and compliance. Add AI later for variations, summaries, or A/B testing.
