    I wrote a book and want to have a photo and a link to Amazon for people to buy the book. I’ve done all the steps and all I get is the photo to my sidebar but I cannot click on the photo. I want to be able to let my readers have access to my book by clicking on the photo and taken to Amazon where my book is located.

    I need simple step-by-step instructions.

    Thank you

    Amazon.com and other select affiliate links are now permitted on free hosted WordPress.com blogs, as long as they are not the primary content of the site in question.

    WordPress.com allows bloggers to insert their own text affiliate links within post and page content only to their own products in Amazon or other third-party affiliate programs. Image affiliate links in posts and pages and any affiliate links in widget areas, are still considered to be advertising and are not allowed on WordPress.com blogs.

    Even if it is for my own book? I was told that I could post a link to my own content on Amazon and not third parties. While this conversation is great. I really need step-by-step instructions on how to do what you are are talking about.

    Yes even if …

    First make sure you are running one of the browser versions found here > http://browsehappy.com or upgrade to one of them.

    This is the guide for creating links in posts and pages: http://en.support.wordpress.com/links/

    This is the general link model:
    <a href="URL HERE">Highlighted anchor text here</a>
    This is the visual result – it’s not actually linked here in the forum.
    Highlighted anchor text here

    1. Enter the anchor text you want to link to first.
    2. Then use your mouse to highlight that anchor text. (If you don’t highlight the anchor text the chain icon will remain grayed out and not be useable.)
    3. Next click the chain icon in the editor and proceed to create the link.
