1. Facebook

Facebook is a very good social platform to share your links because almost everybody in the world wants to have access to Facebook. 

Facebook is used worldwide, that is the reason why it is very effective. Although, Facebook may not be effective for you if you don't put a lot of effort into it. 

Let us discuss on few things you need to do to make Facebook effective in promoting your affiliate links. 

i. Join groups

ii. Create a page

iii. Share directly to your friends

iv. Create targeted ads to spread the link

i. Join a group

Joining a group on Facebook is a very productive way to promote your affiliate links. 

For instance, you want to promote a software that can help people get more traffic to their affiliate links, the group you should target are groups that focuses on affiliate marketing because everyone on that group are there because they want to make money as an affiliate. 

When you send the message on the group, everybody would like to check it out because they are all willing to make more money as an affiliate.

ii. Create a page

Pages on Facebook are either used for business, showcasing of things and many more. 

A page can even be created just for fun but nevertheless, creating a page would help you a lot. Once you've created a page, invite your friends to your page and finally when your friends start accepting your invitation, start posting on your page. 

You can create a page on fashion and in that page, what you need to do is to post the picture of your dress you are promoting and place the link to buy the dress below with a nice and convincing note so as to make people check it out. 

This example also goes to other areas. Just create a page that relates to what you are promoting.

iii. Share directly to your friends

Sharing your affiliate links with your friends directly when chatting is also an effective way because you will be able to explain what the product is all about and probably convince them to buy the product. 

This method may be time-consuming because we'll have to share it with as many friends as you have and also probably explain it to them. But the fact is that it is going to be profitable at the end.

iv. Create targeted ads to spread the links 

In your Facebook, you can create targeted ads to spread your links to a large audience. 

All you need to do is to put a convincing note that will make people check your Affiliate links out and possibly buy the product through your link. 

When you create an ad and target them to a location of your choice, it goes there in minutes and because people are always online on Facebook worldwide, your Affiliate link would get traffics.

2. WhatsApp

As a person, I love using WhatsApp to promote my affiliate links because my Affiliate links are able to reach so many people in my contacts without much stress. This social platform can help you promote your affiliate links if you do this three things;

i. Create a group

ii. Join groups

iii. Share your links in your status

i. Create a group

Creating a group on WhatsApp is a very easy thing. Before you create a group make sure you are able to find the name that matches what you want to promote. 

You can name your group after your name like for instance I can name my group Kolawole's store. So when you create the group, start posting product you want to promote on the group. 

So I urge you to try as much as possible to add almost all your contacts to the group and tell them to encourage others to join the group. Once you do this, you can tell them to place orders for what they want. Once a person places an order, grab your affiliate link and share them to whoever wants to purchase the product.

ii. Join group

Joining groups on WhatsApp will not be easy because you are not able to join groups on WhatsApp unless you are added. 

I wish WhatsApp was like Facebook where groups are public and can be searched for. But in any group you find yourself try your best to share your affiliate links in the group.

iii. Share your links on your status

Does this need an explanation? We post on our status almost every time. So why not share your Affiliate links on your status so you can get more visitors and buyers to your Affiliate offer.

3. Instagram

This social platform is also effective because millions of people are now on Instagram so that they can get in touch with their favourite stars. 

Since people are now online on Instagram, you can use this opportunity to create an account that reflects what you want to sell as an affiliate. 

Once you have created an account on Instagram, start showcasing the products you want to promote. You can also buy followers for Instagram so that you can have a large audience to reach out to.

 

4. Quora

Quora is a good platform that can get you a lot of traffic to your Affiliate links. All you need to do is to answer questions. 

Once you go to quora search for questions that are related to your links, give him an answer and provide a solution for them. For instance, you can say

You can check out this product, it would be worth it if you try it out. It works effectively.

And because quora is visited by millions of people per day there is a probability that you will also get used to your Affiliate links. 

        Finally, social media is a great place to share your Affiliate links, but the only way you can get a substantial result is through your hardwork, diligence and patience because you will not get results overnight using social media to promote your affiliate links.
