One of the most difficult tasks for affiliate marketers is figuring how to get traffic to their affiliate links. In fact, for every serious affiliate marketer trying to grow their internet business, resolving this problem should be the top priority.
But rest assured because today I have got you guys with The 7 Best Free Sources To Get Traffic To Your Affiliate Links and how to use them. so without further delay let’s start listing them one by one.
Instagram is one of the most popular social media platforms out there on the internet. And amazingly, it can not only be used for sharing your posts and texting your friends but also to make money online. Let’s say you want to create an Instagram account to promote your affiliate products and earn money, so simply create valuable content and try to grow your account. you can use canva to create cool posts for your social media in minutes.
Honestly, growing your Instagram account in a basic niche can be very competitive, an example of a “basic niche” can be the “fashion industry” which is a very large industry so it’s better if you choose a niche that relates with only a specific category such as shoes or t-shirts because it’s easier to rank on for specific niches. In order to keep up with the competition, you have to stand out and be consistent.
Instagram doesn’t allow you to post links in the caption box or even the comment section so you can use sites like ShortStack, Shorby, etc to share all your affiliate links with your audience by pasting your ShortStack or Shorby link on your Instagram bio. And that’s how you can get traffic to your affiliate links with Instagram!
Affiliate marketers can make use of Facebook to drive traffic to their affiliate links in a variety of ways. You can create a Facebook page on your niche and join/create your niche-related Facebook groups to promote your affiliate links. But make sure that you are not going around on Facebook and spamming your links with the hope to get sales because it will never happen.
Engage with your audiences and then promote your products but don’t spam your links because it will make both your audiences and the Facebook algorithm unhappy with your Facebook page and your account may get taken down as well.
You can also leverage Facebook ads for affiliate marketing which is great but in this article, I will only discuss free traffic sources and Facebook ads is not free.
When I said “Pinterest”, didn’t most of you guys assume it as another social media platform?
Well, no judgments but Pinterest is in fact a search engine just like google but it is a visual search engine. To use Pinterest for your online business first create a Pinterest Business account that will allow you to track your insights.
Pinterest allows its users to paste their affiliate links or blog links inside their posts. however, Pinterest doesn’t like all affiliate links so in that case, you can write a small blog describing your affiliate product on a site such as Medium.com, blogger.com, etc, and add your affiliate links inside your blog post. Next, link your blog post to your Pinterest post to get traffic to your affiliate links.
Where do you create the Pinterest posts? Canva is a great tool to create Pinterest-friendly posts.
On youtube, you can create videos around your niche and paste your affiliate links in the description box. You can do product reviews, teaching-videos on youtube. For example, you can teach people how to make handmade clay jewelry and paste all your affiliate links of the products needed to make the jewelry in your description box. And of course, don’t forget to use SEO (search engine optimization) for youtube to make your channel rank higher on youtube.
Many people do not use youtube for their business because they are not comfortable in front of the camera or for any such reasons, but no judgment guys because I’ve got you and now you can also use youtube to promote your affiliate products without making any videos by yourself.

What am I doing right now? Blogging obviously. It is said that not before too long most people will search for the product reviews before purchasing anything, which is nothing new actually but why don’t you want to create blogs? I believe that most people think that you have to be a perfect writer or be good at English to create blogs but that is simply a myth.in fact nor am I a writer neither is my first language English. It is really easy to incorporate your affiliate links inside your blogs. You can do blogging as long as you can put some words together and briefly describe your thoughts. Sometimes you can just read some articles on the topic you want to write a blog about and write a similar idea in your own words on your blog. Believe me or not, blogging is a fantastic way to get traffic to your affiliate links.
you can use Medium.com, blogger.com, etc to write blogs or create a website of your own on WordPress or other platforms.
Don’t know how to build a website? stay assured because with GrooveFunnels or GetResponse you can create your very own website within about 15 minutes without you having to do much work
You can also do guest blogging (aka guest posting) which is simply writing blogs for another company’s website in order to get more awareness and audiences back to your own website.
Once again don’t forget to use Google SEO for your blogs/website to rank higher on google. managing your website SEO gives you long-term results when you will keep getting unlimited sales without putting in much work. Seo requires keyword research which helps you find keywords related to your niche that aren’t too competitive to rank on.
6. Email marketing.
Email marketing is a highly effective way to make sales and build great relationships with your audiences. Email marketing is when you capture emails of your interested audiences and build an email list and send automated emails to them periodically to keep them reminded about your website and your product. Well, where do you get the emails from? to get emails you can create an op-in-page where your interested audiences will give you their information (name and email mostly).

you can use GrooveFunnels or GetResponse for email marketing, they are great and offer a lot of useful resources.
Quora is a Q/A (question/answer) site where you can answer people’s question and also post you own article and questions. On Quora, you can also create groups with a bunch of interested people in your niche which is really helpful to have as an affiliate marketer. You can easily get hundreds of views on your answers on quora, honestly, I believe that quora is a hidden gem and once you find it and know how to utilize it properly you are good to go.
Quora doesn’t like it when you use too many links in your answer or when most of your answers contain links, that’s why I suggest you use links in every 5 answers that you post, and later on when you have gained a lot of followers then you can paste your affiliate links more frequently. Don’t forget that you have to provide value in your answers, sometimes you can simply use google to find the answers and paste your affiliate links inside those answers.
And that’s how you drive traffic to your affiliate links!
