Get ready for YouTubers to start stuffing Amazon affiliate links in their content

YouTube just made it easier for your favorite creators to sell you stuff on Amazon. Get ready for YouTubers to start stuffing Amazon. Eligible creators will now be able to tag Amazon product listings in their videos and earn commission on any purchases made.

This could make it easier for you to buy products recommended by the creators you follow. YouTube recently fixed a bug that was hiding saved videos from Watch Later and other playlists. While that’s great, the video platform is in the news again.

Not for another bug fix or broken feature, but for a change to the YouTube Shopping affiliate program. In a social media post, YouTube CEO Neal Mohan announced that Amazon is joining its e-commerce network.

The retailer just finally joined YouTube Shopping’s affiliate program. YouTubers can now include.

The video network’s CEO Neal Mohan announced on X today that Amazon is now a member of the YouTube Shopping affiliate program. With this change, eligible YouTube creators will be able to link out to Amazon product listings from their videos.

Videos, Shorts and livestreams on YouTube can all now tag items on Amazon, with the creator earning a commission on any purchases made from their links. Considering how much business the retailer does, this could be an appealing addition for viewers who want to make a purchase based on recommendations from content creators, as well as a way for those creators to earn some extra income.

In March, YouTube lowered the subscriber threshold for creators to participate in the ecommerce system, making it more accessible to more accounts to earn through the program. According to the release we received from the company, more than 1 million people have signed on to participate in YouTube Shopping, and the affiliate program recently launched in Argentina, Mexico and the UK.
