I had a question today about adding products to amazon modules. It’s really simple. You need to find the product(s) you want to include at Amazon and find the ASIN number which you will add to your module. The ASIN is the number Amazon uses to identify each product in their store. Here’s a walk through of two of my favorite Amazon modules.
Amazon Spotlight
This amazon module allows you to feature ONE product. It makes for a pretty good call to action. Once you’ve added the module to your lens you have to get to the edit area.
You can see the space available for the ASIN number. This is a number provided by Amazon. Find your product page and scroll down until you find the product details area. You’ll see the ASIN or ISBN (if it’s a book) number there. Copy the ASIN number.
Then all you have to do is paste it in the module where it asks for the product you want to feature (as shown in the above image)
Basic Amazon Module
This module allows you to choose a few products to show in your lens. You have two options here. You can allow Amazon to pick the products or you can choose the products.
If you let Amazon pick you can choose what category of products you want it to choose from as well as a keyword to match the kind of products you want to show up.
If you decide to choose your products to show up in this module you’ll need to go find the ASIN numbers just as you did for the spotlight module.
Make sure you add one ASIN per line.
There you have it. That’s all there is to adding products to your amazon modules. If you have any further questions please ask in the comments and I’ll do my best.

Hi
I managed to do the picture and description part. My question is how do you add the “Buy Now” button?
Thanks for your answer.
Just save the module ~ it will do it all for you.
Jackie,
Thanks for the easy to understand instructions. I have been using both of these for quite a while and it really has sped up my lens creation time quite a bit – plus the content is constantly changing so your lens always has “fresh content” too.

Not sure that’s going to count as “fresh” content. Just remember that you split your commissions with Squidoo when you use the modules.
