If you’re planning to join the Amazon Associates (Affiliate) Program, it’s important to understand which platforms are allowed, and how to properly set them up to avoid rejection or future suspension.
Accepted Social Media Platforms
Amazon currently accepts the following social networks for affiliate promotion:
- Facebook: Only public groups and fan pages are accepted. Personal profiles are not allowed.
- X (formerly Twitter)
- YouTube
- TikTok
- Twitch.tv
These platforms must be publicly accessible so Amazon can review your content during the approval process.
Important Rules & Tips for Approval
1. Submit Full and Accurate URLs
When applying, you must enter the complete URL to your social media page.
✅ Correct: https://www.facebook.com/YourPageName
❌ Incorrect: facebook.com or just instagram.com
2. Personal Facebook Profiles Are Not Accepted
Amazon does not allow affiliate activity on personal profiles. You must use a public page or group only.
3. Your Social Account Must Be Public
Make sure your content is viewable to anyone, without needing to log in. Private accounts will be rejected.
4. Add a Proper Affiliate Disclaimer in Your Bio
You must clearly state your affiliate relationship with Amazon in your bio or where links are posted. For example:
As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
Failure to add this may result in your account being closed.
5. Add Your Website (If Applicable)
Even if you’re applying with a social account, it’s a good idea to add your blog or website (if you have one) to strengthen your application and build trust.
6. Keep Your Page Active & Niche-Focused
Amazon looks for active content that fits a clear niche. Empty, generic, or inactive pages are often rejected.
