by Greekgeek

  1. Download my Amazon "Buy" button and upload it to your own image host.
  2. View your selected product on Amazon.
  3. Download the product image and upload it to an image host.
  4. While logged in, click "Link to this Page" from the Associates strip at the top. Choose "Image Only Link."
  5. Copy the Amazon Associates code, replacing the dummy jpg with the URL to the product image followed immediately the url of the "buy" graphic, like this:

    <p style="width: 200px; float: right; margin-left: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a href="Amazon Associates link"><img src="product-image.jpg" style="width: 200px;"><img src="amazon-buy-button.jpg" style="margin: 5px;"></a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/...end of associates code..."></p>

  6. Paste the whole kit and kaboodle into the start of a Text module.
  7. Write the object description, review, or blurb. Whatever you write will fill in to the left of the graphics.
  8. Flip margin-left and float: right to margin-right and float: left if you want the graphics on the left, text on the right.
