List Products on My Blog

I will start looking for products according to the orientation of the blog and then I will release it on the blog to link the Amazon affiliate link, to find the 3 types of products I want, go to amazon.com

The first product I will add to the blog is a Smartphone (Apple iPhone 16 Pro).

Amazon

Once I locate the product, I’ll get cracking on preparing it for the blog.

• Open Blogger
• Select New Post

• Enter Title (Optional): (Can be entered at the beginning or after pasting the Amazon affiliate link)
• Select HTML View to change the display to HTML code.
• Find Shop Now on amazon and change it to Buy Now
• Click Get Link on the product page that will be published on the blog, then Copy the generated link and paste it into your blog

The appeal of a blog lies in the blog template and how the blog owner designs the blog layout well, then in preparing it also requires sensitivity to image size, position and writing style.

I chose Italic for the first paragraph which is the initial description, there it provides an overview and the main reasons for choosing this cellphone as their daily needs, I also use Bold on important points, then subheading on other additional references.

Add label to filter product searches, this is related to the menu and sub Menu blog. Visitors will find products that have been filtered from the use of this tag.

In the last section, click Post or update if you have made edits.

Look at the picture below.

I’ve created three product lists for you on the blog, and I’ve added Amazon Affiliate links. I made a few small changes to the look, like changing the image layout, positioning, and using slide form.

First Product	Second Product	Third Product
