Generate Jumia affiliate links: how to do that?

This is a very important step because it is impossible to make income just by copying the bare link from Jumia store to promote the production. You will need to generate the new original affiliate links for the specific production or the category of product that you would like to promote. You also can get the special affiliate banners on your Jumia affiliate dashboard for placing them on your website.

Congratulations, you can now add the affiliate links to your blog and promote the products!

Inserting the link on your blog is quite easy. On WordPress, you usually can use the Add Link option, while on Blogger you should follow the Insert/Edit Link path.
