Facebook Affiliate Marketing: Complete Guide & Examples (2024)
The direct affiliate marketing approach aims to promote products and services in posts. For example, you create a Facebook post about a book that you read and include an affiliate link from Amazon.com. A user who clicks on the link will go straight to Amazon. By contrast, the indirect approach aims to direct traffic to a site where affiliate links are present. For instance, you post your blog about the best marketing tools. That post contains affiliate links.
I use direct and indirect methods as they’re both useful. I typically use direct ways to promote free items, trials, and pay per lead programs because they’re low resistance and high-converting. I direct traffic to my blog when I want to influence, persuade, and provide commentary and insights.
