You'll earn more — and keep brands excited to work with you — by treating affiliate links like a first-class part of your content, not an afterthought. ## Content that converts * **Show the product in use.** Demos and honest reactions outperform static product photos. * **Lead with a benefit.** "This fixed my morning routine" beats "new product launch." * **One CTA per piece.** Trying to push your link, code, and three other things at once dilutes everything. * **Repeat the link or code.** Say it twice — at the start and end of a video, top and bottom of a newsletter. ## Where to place the link * Bio link on every platform * Pinned comments on reels, shorts, and TikToks * Shownotes for podcasts * Newsletter footer plus one in-body mention * Story stickers and swipe-ups ## Disclose properly Most regions require you to tell your audience when a post is an affiliate or paid partnership. Common phrasings: * "#ad" or "#sponsored" at the top of the caption * "paid partnership with \[brand]" disclosure on Instagram and TikTok * "This post contains affiliate links" in newsletter footers Clear disclosure builds trust. Audiences are more skeptical of hidden sponsorships than of openly labeled ones. ## Work the relationship * **Ask for the product.** Brands usually send product when you ask — just ask early in your collaboration. * **Share your results.** A screenshot of your performance or a note on what worked goes a long way. * **Suggest ideas.** If you spot a post type working, pitch an expanded version back to the brand. * **Respond quickly.** Brands often reward the fastest, most reliable partners with bigger campaigns. ## Tools you probably already use * **Link-in-bio tools** (Linktree, Beacons, etc.) — paste your Afflo link in and update anytime. * **Note to self app** — save the link, the code, and two or three ready-to-paste captions. * **Calendar reminders** — schedule your next post the moment a piece publishes. ## Tips for long-term success * Put your best effort into the first two posts. Strong early results get you perks later. * Don't spam your audience. One solid mention per week is more effective than three half-hearted ones. * Keep an eye on your dashboard. It tells you what content actually drives sales. ## Related Find your link and code. Get paid for the sales you drive.
