Start Promoting Your Website

Once you have an affiliate marketing website, you will need to generate traffic to it. That's no easy feat, but there are some free traffic sources you can use to do it. Blog commenting is a great way to start receiving traffic to your new site. It allows you to network with others in your niche.

Quora is a great place to get started. Just add your affiliate website URL to your bio, and start answering a dozen questions a week. Before you know it, you'll be receiving free traffic to your affiliate marketing website.

Social bookmarking is an excellent source of free traffic for bloggers and internet marketers. People use social bookmarking sites to share content and build backlinks. You can share links and helpful content to attract traffic.

Ensure that your posts solve people's problems rather than trying to sell them something.

Blog commenting is an excellent free traffic source for affiliate marketers. If you run a blog, you can comment on other blogs related to your niche. Remember to use accurate comments, and don't use bots or software to do this, make it personal.

Always use your blog URL instead of direct affiliate links. These are the most common free traffic sources for affiliate marketers. However, you should be patient and create a consistent stream of content to attract readers.

Search engine optimization is another free traffic source. Visitors who come to your site from Google have already expressed an interest in what you have to say. Email marketing is another way to generate repeat traffic.

Your subscribers will receive your emails based on what they are interested in. These types of visitors are highly targeted and usually buy products.

Here are the 5 top free traffic sources for affiliate marketing:

  • YouTube
  • Quora
  • TikTok
  • LinkedIn
  • Reddit

You have given some good ideas. I have video "shorts" on my YouTube channel, but need to get people on there to look. I use Quora a lot, but not sure if my affiliate URL is on there. I will look.

I do answer lots of Quora questions, and often post a link to something on my website that is directly related to the question. I've never had a problem doing so.

Have not tried Reddit. I'll take a look.

Tiktok is not for me I dislike the site intensely.

Keep up the good work, Lily. You've added value with your tutorial.

Hi Fran, thanks for your kind thoughts. I also dislike TikTok as I know that more data than necessary is being collected. But there are plenty of other social media options.

Well done with your shorts.
