When you sign up for an affiliate program, you get a long and usually ugly link to use as an affiliate. It’s a very good idea to create a redirect that link for three reasons:

1. It’s nicer looking so it makes people less suspicious that it might be a sales pitch and/or some sort of spam.

2. If you use a system to create your redirects then it’s easy to remember your affiliates and therefore you’ll use them more often and even on the fly when someone asks you for a recommendation.

3. If you ever need to change your affiliate link you can do it in one place.

If you don’t know what an affiliate program is, I highly recommend Rosalind Gardner’s Super Affiliate Handbook, that will tell you everything you need to know about making money with affiliate programs.

Back to setting up the redirect. I created a video for you to show you how to do it.
