If you have ever experienced the tedious back-and-forth of finding deals, copying prices, grabbing images, and formatting posts manually, this feature was built specifically for you.

The Facebook Deal Posting Problem
Rob explains that Facebook deal groups and pages have become a hot topic among Amazon influencers as a way to earn additional commissions. The buzz is real, and many influencers have started building their own Facebook presence to share Amazon deals with followers. However, Rob discovered firsthand just how much back-and-forth work is involved in posting deals manually. You have to find the deals on Amazon, copy the product title, note the price, go to Facebook and create a post, come back to Amazon to get your affiliate link, return to Facebook to add it, then go back to Amazon for the product image. This repetitive bouncing between platforms quickly becomes exhausting, especially if you want to post multiple deals per day.
How the Oink Facebook Feature Works
The feature lives in the Oink extension sidebar that appears on any Amazon product page. When you are browsing a product you want to share, the Facebook sharing section automatically grabs the product title, current price, product image, and your affiliate link. Instead of manually copying all those pieces of information and going back and forth between Amazon and Facebook, Oink bundles everything together into a ready-to-post format. You click one button and it generates a formatted post with your affiliate link already embedded, the deal price pulled in, and the product image ready to go. The entire process happens without leaving the Amazon product page.
Customizable Post Templates
Rob demonstrates that the post templates are fully customizable to match whatever format your Facebook group or page uses. Some people prefer to put the price prominently in the title, others prefer a specific emoji style, and some structure their posts differently based on their audience. You set up your template once with your preferred layout, branding, and formatting choices, and every time you click the share button, Oink follows that template automatically. This consistency not only saves time but also helps build brand recognition among your followers who start to recognize your distinctive post format in their Facebook feeds.
Cross-Posting to Multiple Groups
For influencers who post deals to more than one Facebook group or page, the feature supports cross-posting with minimal effort. You can set up multiple groups in the extension and select which ones you want to post to each time. Rather than manually creating separate posts for each group, Oink handles the distribution for you. You select your target groups, hit send, and the extension creates properly formatted posts with all the right information for each destination. This is particularly powerful for creators who manage deals across multiple niche groups or maintain both a Facebook page and one or more groups.
Staying Compliant with Amazon Affiliate Rules
Rob clarifies an important point about compliance. This feature uses your real Facebook account and your real Amazon affiliate links, which is exactly how Amazon wants it done. Amazon is perfectly fine with affiliates sharing links on Facebook as long as proper disclosure rules are followed. Oink structures the posts to include the right elements, helping ensure your content meets the requirements. This matters because violating Amazon affiliate terms can lead to account warnings or suspension, so having a tool that builds compliance into the workflow provides peace of mind alongside convenience.
The Massive Time Savings
Rob breaks down the numbers: what used to take 5 to 10 minutes per deal post now takes about 30 seconds with the Oink integration. If you are posting 10 to 20 deals a day, the math becomes compelling very quickly. At the old pace, posting 15 deals would consume over an hour of your day in just the mechanical posting work. With Oink handling the formatting, link embedding, and image inclusion, that same 15 deals takes under 10 minutes. Beyond the raw time savings, the consistency of properly formatted posts tends to perform better in Facebook groups because they look professional and are easy for group members to scan and engage with.
Building a Supplementary Income Stream
Rob positions Facebook deal groups as a great supplementary income stream for Amazon influencers. The biggest barrier to entry has always been the tedious manual work of creating each post, and this new Oink feature removes that barrier entirely. Whether you are already running a Facebook deal page and struggling with the time commitment, or you have been thinking about starting one but were put off by the workload, this feature changes the equation. As a Pros subscriber feature, it represents another way that the Oink extension continues to add value by automating the repetitive tasks that consume creator time.
