Now that you understand how affiliate links work…
Let’s talk about where those links actually go.
Because just having a link — doesn’t mean anyone’s going to click it.
Affiliate links don’t just float in space.
They live inside content — and that content lives everywhere.
Here are the most popular places people promote affiliate links:
Social media (TikTok, Instagram, Twitter/X)
YouTube
Blogs and websites
Email newsletters
Pinterest or niche forums
🔑 Rule: Don’t just drop links. Build value around them.
This part’s important:
You don’t need to be everywhere.
You just need to be where you’re most comfortable creating.
Hate being on camera? Try blogging or faceless short-form video
Love talking? YouTube, TikTok with voiceover, or even a podcast
There’s no single best platform — the best one is the one you’ll stick with.
Affiliate content isn’t about pressuring people to buy.
It’s about making the product feel like the natural next step after the value you just gave.

🎯 Teach first. Then recommend.
Here’s one of the most effective — yet subtle — strategies:
Just mention the tool while teaching something you’d be creating anyway.
No pressure. No pitch. Just presence.
That’s what builds trust over time.
