Click 'Create Code' or 'Create Link', then click 'Copy Code' or 'Copy Link' and start sharing them to promote! To save even more time and generate groups of promotion links, be sure to use the 'Batch Add Links' option: click the Download button to obtain an Excel sheet with a Text Link template.

Now you can just add '?lkid=10699429' as a fixed parameter at the end of any product/Category links directly. Examples:

How to work with 'Random Sentence Generator'?

You can use the Random Sentence Generator by inserting list of sentences to the 'First List of Possible Sentences (%%random_sentence%%)' text field. Here, you can add full sentences, or sentences with variables. Variables are structured as: %something. A possible list of sentences can be:

variable_name2 => variable2_value1;variable2_value2;variable2_value3
You can also use variables in variable definition. Example:
noun_with_adjective => %noun;%adjective %noun
An example of variable definition:
adjective_very => %adjective;very %adjective;

family => %adjective %family_members;%family_members

family_members => grandpa;brother;sister;mom;dad;grandma

sentence_ending => .;!;!!
These random sentences can be used in post titles or post content, by adding the %%random_sentence%% or %%random_sentence2%% shortcode.
