If people outside the U.S. click your Amazon affiliate links, you could be earning nothing from them. A viewer in the U.K. or Canada lands on the U.S. store, does not buy there, and your tag never gets credit. On Premium, MakerManifest fixes that by sending each visitor to their own country's Amazon store with your tag for that country.
Why International Clicks Can Earn Nothing
Amazon Associates tags are tied to a country's store. A U.S. tag on a link only helps you on the U.S. store. If your audience is spread around the world, part of your traffic is going somewhere it cannot pay you.
Add Your Associates Tag for Each Country
In MakerManifest you add your Associates tag for each country where you have joined the program. The video shows the U.K., Canada and Germany, and you can fill in anywhere else you are signed up. Once a tag is in place, a visitor from that country goes to that country's Amazon store with your tag attached.
Blank Countries Fall Back to Your U.S. Tag
You do not need to join every program to use this. For any country you leave blank, MakerManifest falls back to your U.S. tag, the same as before.
See Where Your Clicks Come From
The Countries tab in Analytics shows where your clicks come from. That is a good way to decide which Associates programs are worth joining: if a lot of your clicks are coming from one country, that is the one to sign up for next. There is more on this in the click analytics walkthrough.
Recorded on a Demo Account
The tags and click numbers in the video are from a demo account, not real earnings.
If you have not set up your U.S. tag and other networks yet, start with setting up affiliate links and short links, or go back to getting started with MakerManifest if you are brand new. If you are comparing this to Geniuslink or Amazon OneLink, this is how international Amazon links work in MakerManifest, alongside your gear lists.
