Doug chats with Jesse Lakes, co-founder and CEO of Geniuslink, about the intriguing subject of mobile deep linking and recent changes in Amazon Associate rules. Jesse dives into the technicalities and benefits of mobile deep linking, explaining how it significantly improves conversion rates by directing users to specific products within apps rather than web pages.
Furthermore, the conversation shifts to a discussion on recent updates to Amazon’s operating agreement that now permits affiliate links in emails and social media DMs, provided recipients have opted in.

Doug  is joined by Jesse Lakes, CEO and co-founder of Geniuslink, to discuss the emerging world of Amazon seller networks—an area that’s redefining affiliate marketing on Amazon.
The discussion covers the basics of what Amazon seller networks are, highlighting these platforms as a bridge connecting publishers, creators, and sellers on Amazon to boost sales and commissions through smart linking. Jesse outlines the mechanics of getting started with seller networks, the advantages like significantly higher commission rates compared to Amazon’s in-house affiliate program, and the potential for content creators to earn both from Amazon’s program and seller networks simultaneously.
He also addresses the challenges, such as a currently limited product catalog available through these networks and the importance of compliance with FTC regulations. Jesse emphasizes the opportunities this new model presents for content creators looking to monetize their recommendations more effectively and how Geniuslink is facilitating an easier integration into these networks.
