Once your application is approved with the merchant (usually takes less than 24 hours), you’re good to start promoting it.
Always be sure to look at the terms of the merchant, as they will often have specific rules e.g. don’t use email, or don’t incentivize, etc. But, most merchants do typically allow you to show off their products on social media.
The first thing I’d recommend is showing off your product on TikTok to capitalize on the free traffic their platform offers.
Here are a few tips for TikTok:
- Use the built-in video and editing tools (don’t upload clips)
- Use trending hashtags and trending music
- Ensure you have great lighting and frequent movement
- Use a cliffhanger/clickbaity cover and title e.g. “The Watch Celebrities Love…”
- Keep your video to less than a minute and use a call to action
If you follow this formula, then you just have to add your new affiliate link to your post or profile, and you are on your way to a great new income stream!
