If you know how to embed hyperlinks into a spreadsheet then you already know how to add affiliate links to your spreadsheets that you already giveaway. It's simple to do. Just input text links at the bottom of your spreadsheets and label them "Sponsored Links" just like other people do with their Google ads. You do this by typing in the text you want then hyperlinking that text to the URL of your favorite affiliate program. The whole thing works just like a Google adwords campaign! Just save your new spreadsheet and upload it to as many free spreadsheet download sites you can find.
