I have been noticing in a few TPT stores I have been browsing lately that people were linking to their other {similar} products in their TPT product description. "Oooh cool!" I thought. Well, I googled and googled and googled and could not find one tutorial about how to do this, so I made my own!
1. Go to your TPT store and click on the product you want to add the link to.
2. Easy! Click on the EDIT icon.
3. Here is the only kind of tricky part. You wi
ll add th
e HTML code that you want to link to. To do this, follow this simple guide: <a href=
"URL"
>words</a>
In the blue URL spot, insert the link of the product you want to link to. Just copy and paste! In the pink words section, add whichever text you want the link to display. For example, if you are linking to a product called Family Word Cards, you would write just that.
4. Click on the "Skip thumbnail generation!" button. Unless of course you want to generate new thumbnails. I think that this is a total pain in the butt! Click NEXT.
5. Tah dah! Beautiful new link to encourage people browsing your store to check out other, similar products. Personally I linked all of my word card vocabulary products to each other. You could link all of your math products, seasonal products, etc. The possibilities are endless.

I would love to hear from you if you decide to try it out!
