There are tons of ways to promote your affiliate link on social media, but one of the most under-rated ways to share your link is via your blog.
>>Blogging is alive and well in 2022 and is a great way to generate evergreen traffic to your affiliate links!<<
If you’re ready to hear about 3 ways to promote an affiliate link on your blog to increase your payouts and your profits, keep reading.
1. Write About Your Results
One of the best ways to promote an affiliate link on your blog is by writing a post about your results using the product or service you’re affiliated with.
Think of the blog post as your personal testimonial, outlining your honest experience using the product or service.
>>Sharing your results builds trust with your audience, which encourages them to buy it using your affiliate link.<<
Plus, it enforces the idea that you aren’t promoting something you haven’t personally used yourself!
So, start writing about your experience… and don’t forget to include your custom affiliate link throughout!
Here are a few prompts to help you get started:
What was the biggest challenge you experienced prior to purchasing the product or service (like joining Social Curator)?
How did that challenge (from above) make you feel?
What changed after purchasing the product or service?
What specific results can you share about the product or service you’re an affiliate for?
Why did you decide to become an Affiliate for the product or service?
What would you say to someone who is on the fence about purchasing the product or service?
2. Add Graphics and Links to Related Posts
If you’re a frequent blogger, chances are you already have content you can add graphics and links to that promote the product or service you’re affiliated with.
For example, you could sprinkle in your experience with the product or service you’re affiliated with on past posts you’ve created, such as your must-have business tools, companies that have attributed to your success, and more.
You can also create side-bar graphics in Canva using Social Curator photos to promote your affiliate link!
>>In general, if you can find a way to tie your affiliate link in with a topic you’ve previously covered in a blog post… do it.<<
It’s a great way to work smarter, not harder, and utilize the content you already have!
