YouTube CEO Neal Mohan revealed in Feb 2025 that television overtook mobile as the primary way people watch YouTube in the USA. To take advantage of views on TVs, you can include a Geniuslink QR code on screen. Many viewers will have their phone with them while watching, so they can scan with their mobile device, which will open the Amazon App. This sends your affiliate ID to their mobile deviceensuring you can still earn commissions.
FAQ: Using Geniuslink, can I deeplink my Amazon products that I recommend on YouTube to the Amazon Mobile app?
Yes, this happens automatically, so no additional setup is needed for deep linking. Once an audience member clicks on any of the geni.us links within the YouTube video descriptions, if they have the Amazon app installed, they’ll be sent to the Amazon app for the product.
Best Practices
Use the Groups page to organize your links for videos/shorts or for seasons/campaigns.
Add your Amazon affiliate IDs to your dashboard, and each geni.us link will automatically localize Amazon product links for your viewers worldwide.
Add custom domains (e.g., yourname.link) for a more personalized, branded look.
If you are linking to affiliated products, add clear affiliate disclosures next to your links in the description, using a disclaimer beside each link, “(Buy on Amazon)”.
Geniuslink with Facebook
Post geni.us links in your product recommendation posts, live streams, or group discussions. Meta recommends placing links in the first comment because links in posts may reduce reach.
