The Best Ways To Promote Affiliate Links In 2024
1: In YouTube Videos
YouTube is incredibly popular and it’ll likely stay that way for many years to come.
Because of this, it’s a great platform to use in order to promote your affiliate links.
The easiest way to promote your affiliate links on YouTube, is to add your links into the description area of your videos.
Like you see here:
You’ll see everyone on YouTube doing this, because it works and it’s easy.
If you want to create videos for YouTube, here are 9 types of videos that work well…
- Product reviews. Where you review different products in your industry.
- How to videos. These are very popular, and it’s where you teach users “how to do” or “achieve” something.
- Best of videos. Simply show the best of something.
- Gaming videos. If you’re in the gaming niche, gaming videos will be perfect for you.
- Challenge videos. Like food challenges or fitness challenges.
- Educational videos. Where you educate your audience on a particular topic.
- Unboxing videos. Can you unbox products in your industry? Consider making videos of you doing so. They work great.
- Reaction videos. Where you watch videos and show yourself (on camera) reacting to videos.
- Lifestyle videos. Live an interesting life? Perhaps a lifestyle video is the video type for you.
Also, in your videos, be sure you tell the viewer about your affiliate links in your video description.
2: Within Blog Posts
Promoting your affiliate links within blog posts is an amazing way to promote products.
It’s easy to do, scalable, and when done correctly, has potential to bring in traffic and sales for years.
When it comes to blog posts, there are only 4 types of posts you need to create…
#1: Product Reviews
Where you review a single product, or multiple products side by side, in a comparison style format.
Like you see in this post, where I review DotCom Secrets:
#2: How To Posts
These are posts where you teach people how to do, or achieve something.
These posts are more educational in nature, but they should always include affiliate links wherever possible.
Here’s an example of such a post:
This post teaches people how to do affiliate marketing on Twitter.
#3: List Posts
A list post is a numbered list of something.
With that something being a topic your audience is interested in.
For example, like this post:
That lists the best affiliate programs for beginners.
#4: General Information
These posts are just general information around topics that interest your audience.
A prime example of general information is Wikipedia.
When writing blog posts, be sure to insert your affiliate links into the content only when it makes sense to do so.
3: Via Email Marketing
Email marketing can be a goldmine for affiliate marketer’s.
In fact, email marketing has an ROI of $36 for every $1 spent:
There’s so much money to be made with email marketing, it’s crucial you do it.
Check out this post to learn more about affiliate email marketing.
4: Use Social Media
Social media platforms are great place to promote your affiliate links, because there’s an abundance of traffic.
Just look at this graph by Statista:
Over 5 billion users active on social media.
That’s a huge number of people to (potentially) get your affiliate links in front of.
When it comes to social media, there are several platforms and tactics you can use…
1: Create pins on Pinterest and target searchers.
2: Use Twitter to build a following, then promote products to that following.
3: Use Facebook and run paid ads to your target audience.
5: Within A Course
Courses are an amazing way to promote affiliate links.
Whether it be a course you create yourself, or someone else’s.
They work so well, because of the trust and rapport you can build.
Here’s an example of a course I’ve created myself.
The course is called:
“The Beginners Guide To Affiliate Marketing.” (Which you can sign up to for free, here.)
Within the course I’ve added affiliate links.
Like so:
There’s also a “Tools & Resources” section with the course too, which also contains affiliate links.
6: Inside A Lead Magnet
A lead magnet is an item you give away for free in exchange for someone’s email address.
Think of a lead magnet as a secret, a shortcut, or tips etc, that your audience will find valuable.
A lead magnet can be anything too, but most of the time, they come in digital format.
Here’s a few examples of lead magnets:
- Reports/PDFs/Whitepapers
- Checklists
- Courses
- Free trials
- Free videos
- Cheatsheets
- Webinars
- eBooks
- Coupons
- Templates
And here’s a real life example of a lead magnet:
This is one of my lead magnets that “pops up” when reading some of my posts.
The lead magnet itself is a free report. (The report is just a PDF file.)
Again, your lead magnets can be anything you want.
They just need to be something your audience will find valuable and that you give away for free in exchange for an email address.
Then of course, be sure to include affiliate links within the actual lead magnet itself.
Like so:
7: Within A Resources Page
A resources page is a page where you list different tools/resources your audience will find useful.
For example, like you see here:
That’s a resources page that sits within the main menu of my blog.
That page is simply a list post, where I list the best tools for affiliate marketing.
Of course, some of those tools are affiliate products.
