Deep Link Integration & YouTube Automation
Together, these features make it easier than ever to expand beyond Amazon’s onsite traffic, create off-site revenue streams, and attract more paying brand partnerships. If you’re an Amazon Influencer sitting on hundreds of shoppable videos, these tools turn all that work into a powerful marketing engine across multiple platforms, especially YouTube.
The Strategy: Why YouTube Matters for Amazon Influencers
As an Amazon Influencer, you already have something priceless: tons of existing content that’s short-form, product-focused, and perfectly suited for YouTube.
By repurposing these videos onto YouTube, you can:
Earn off-site affiliate commissions
Become more appealing for paid brand deals
Reduce dependency on Amazon’s unpredictable onsite traffic
Build an audience you fully own and control
Plus, with the new automation flow, uploading to YouTube isn’t an extra workload, it’s about 20–30 additional seconds per video. You're not replacing Amazon. You're stacking income streams.
Step 1: Set Up Your YouTube Account Properly
If you don’t already have one, create a YouTube channel using your Gmail.
Then make sure your account is fully verified so you can place clickable affiliate links in video descriptions.
From YouTube Studio, go to:
Settings → Channel → Feature Eligibility → Verify All Three Levels
If you skip this, your viewers won’t be able to click through to Amazon, and you’ll miss commissions.
Step 2: Create Your YouTube Automation Template
In Viral Vue’s YouTube feature, you’ll create a reusable template. From YouTube Studio, click Edit Template, to setup: video titles, description layout, where your deep link goes, your affiliate disclaimers and your SEO keywords
Template Components:
Affiliate Tag: Use your off-site store ID. You can copy this from any product listing in URL Vue.
Video Title: The title from Amazon, or create your own.
Description: Include your deep link, product title (for SEO), and optional text to engage your audience.
Brand Name: Automatically populated from the product.
Disclaimer: Required for affiliate compliance.
Pro Tip: Customize your template, don’t just copy an example. This will help your videos stand out. You can also create multiple templates for different products or categories.
Viral Vue YouTube Upload Edit Template placeholders:
- Product Title: {{product_title}}
- Affiliate Link: {{affiliate_link}}
- Deep Link: {{deep_link}}
- Video Title: {{video_title}}
- Brand: {{brand}}
Step 3: Activate Deep Linking via URL Vue
Deep links are essential if you want higher conversions from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, or any platform outside Amazon.
With URL Vue connected:
Your viewers skip login screens
They’re pulled directly into the Amazon app, already logged in
You improve your off-site earnings instantly
Pro Subscribers get URL Vue at NO COST.
Just visit app.urlvue.com, click Log in with Viral Vue, Subscribe for Free and Authorize.
Once connected, every YouTube upload will automatically use deep links.
Step 4: Publish to Amazon + YouTube at the Same Time
When uploading a new Amazon Influencer video inside Viral Vue, simply:
Upload the video to Amazon as usual.
Add your parent/child ASIN
Before clicking Submit, click the YouTube icon
Select your video file
Then the magic begins:
Your YouTube title gets auto-generated
Your description is automatically filled
A deep link URL is inserted for you
Video is posted to YouTube
Media link is saved and connected to Viral Vue
Everything is synced for future brand deal submissions
Already have a YouTube channel? Or hundreds of existing Amazon videos?
Viral Vue lets you:
Update old YouTube descriptions
Replace old links with deep links
Connect previous videos to your Media Links database
Download older storefront videos and re-upload them to YouTube
This means you can revive old content and make it profitable again, without starting from zero. Check this article for more details: Upload Existing Amazon Videos to YouTube with Viral Vue
Submit Media Links With Brand Deal Applications
Your YouTube uploads automatically appear inside Viral Vue’s Media Links if you clicked "Link Product" on YouTube.
When you press Submit All Content inside Creator Connections, Viral Vue now sends BOTH:
Your Amazon Influencer storefront videos
Your YouTube product videos
Brands suddenly see you across multiple platforms, meaning:
Higher credibility
More product offers
More repeat collaborations
The ability to charge for your work
This is a major competitive advantage over influencers who submit only storefront videos.
Generate with AI Feature: Titles & SEO Tags
Viral Vue adds a "Generate with AI" menu inside YouTube Studio with two tools:
- Generate Title — produces multiple AI-written title suggestions with model and count settings.
- Generate Tags — instantly produces a set of search-optimized tags for your video.
Both tools pull context from the Amazon product linked to your video, so every suggestion is relevant to what you're promoting. Make sure to click the Link Product button first before using either feature.
Amazon Region Redirect
URL Vue Amazon Region Redirect automatically rewrites your Amazon links to match the end user's local Amazon marketplace, helping you earn commissions from international visitors.
How to enable it: Go to app.urlvue.com → Account → Amazon tab and turn on Amazon Region Redirect → Enable the marketplaces you've been approved for, set up your affiliate tag and click Save.
Setting up affiliate tags: For each marketplace you enable, you can set an affiliate tag to override the one on the original link. Leave it blank if you want to keep the original link's tag.
Important: You must have an Amazon Associates account in each marketplace you enable, since Amazon only credits commissions to tags registered in that specific store.
Already using Amazon Earn Globally? If you've enabled Earn Globally in Associates Central → Account Settings → Global Earnings, Amazon automatically handles commission tracking across these marketplaces: US, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. In that case, leave those marketplaces disabled in Region Redirect and rely on Earn Globally instead. Using both at the same time can cause a tag mismatch and result in commission loss.
Why It Matters
Most Amazon Influencers rely almost entirely on onsite rotations, carousel visibility, Amazon glitches, and algorithm luck.
This update shifts your business from:
Dependent → Diversified
Unpredictable → Stable
Free products → Paid brand deals
Single-platform → Multi-platform authority
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Will uploading the same video to Amazon and YouTube affect Amazon’s acceptance?
No. Amazon doesn't penalize cross-posting to other platforms.
I cannot get into URL Vue. I used app.urlvue.com and when prompted to log in, I click “Use my Viral Vue account,” but it just redirects me back to my main Viral Vue account. How can I actually access URL Vue?
From the web app, click URL Vue tab, it will prompt you to authorize, then follow the steps to activate it for free.
Is there a click limit for URL Vue deep links?
Yes, every account gets 2,000 free clicks per month, and Pro users aren’t charged until they go over that limit, after which additional clicks cost $4 per 1,000.
What happens after I go over the 2,000 free clicks?
Your links continue to work normally, and at the end of the month, URL Vue calculates any extra clicks accordingly.
My account looks empty after setting up URL Vue. Is something wrong?
No, your dashboard stays empty until you start generating deep links.
When I use the URL Vue deep link on my phone, I get a popup asking what app to use. Why isn’t it a one-click link to Amazon?
The click-to-“Open this page in Amazon” behavior is how deep links function. This is expected, and the popup is part of the normal process for opening the link in the correct app.
What happens if I cancel my Viral Vue subscription? Do my deep links still work?
If your subscription is canceled, the links would not work since you are no longer paying for the service.
I’m trying to upload a video to YouTube using my template, but it says “No product data loaded for the selected ASIN.” What should I do?
Try reloading the page.
The URL Vue tab isn’t showing on my web app even though I’m on the Pro plan.
Please follow the steps below to force an update on your browser: 1.Log in to your web app and do a hard refresh on your browser: -Mac: Command + Shift + R -For Windows: Ctrl + F5 or Ctrl + Shift + R 2.Verify your email with the 6-digit code. 3.Log back into your Viral Vue extension.
Where can I see if anyone has purchased anything from my YouTube links? I can see clicks in URL Vue, but I don’t see purchases.
Purchases from YouTube links are tracked under your Offsite Store ID earnings dashboard in your Amazon Associates account.
I uploaded a lot of videos using the extension to push them to YouTube. None of them have that URL Vue link. Do they need to?
To use URL Vue deep links, you need to sign up at app.urlvue.com and make sure your YouTube template includes the deep link placeholder. If you’re not signed up for URL Vue, your videos will automatically use your regular Amazon affiliate links.
Why are my links duplicating (or even tripling) when posting in YouTube? It’s not that way in my YouTube template.
This happens if you’ve linked multiple ASINs/Parent ASINs to the same video. Each ASIN generates its own deep link. You can either just delete the one manually in the description or add the parent ASIN after you cross post to YouTube.
Why do URL Vue deep links from Pinterest not open automatically in the app like they do from YouTube?
Pinterest handles links differently, so the automatic “Open in Amazon” prompt will not appear. Click the “click if not redirected in 5” option to open the deep link correctly. This is how it is designed to work.
