    Yes you can as long as you are not spamming.

    If you go into the forums, chat rooms and groups, sounding like a sales person, or posting an affiliate link too quick, you will get blocked.

    Free traffic takes longer and you need to have be consistent.

    YouTube still works if you know what you are doing, and it's free.

    Yes you can effectively still use free traffic but you need to have a measured approach. My mantra is provide value first and sell later.

    It takes time to build up a following that trusts you and waits on your every move, once you are in that position then you can begin to subtly plant affiliate links so long as they are offering something of value to your audience.

    If you are recommending dubious offers then you will undo all of the hard work you put in.

    So before you dive into free traffic make sure you have a game plan.

        First you need to understand your audience, who are they, what do they do and where do they hang out.

        After that I recommend you build an avatar, do you know what that is ?

        Let me give you an example, recently I was in the business loan niche, so I found the top websites in this niche and added those websites to similar web and alexa.

        This along with the audience insights on facebook will give me the average person that visits these types of sites, eg Male 35, degree educated etc

        With this information you make your avatar, basically your typical customer, write down a name for them, give them a job and write out a typical they in their life.

        By now you will have written down a typical person that you are targeting and a day in their life.

        Now find these people in facebook groups or start your own group, as I said, hang out with them for a while, no selling or promotion, they have to trust you first.

        Only after you have been accepted in and become respect you can make recommendations for products.

        This takes time and it is not an overnight thing despite what anybody says, you have to put the work in.

        Good luck

    I would imagine that for most it probably doesn't work very well and is just too limiting in scale.

    Hey dude, i could tell you that free traffic does work well sometimes, but mostly, the payout takes longer time to come. As well, Facebook is a good way to make some sells in affiliate marketing, so, why not trying?

    Yes you can, but you need more time and effort if compared to paid methods. Having said that, paid methods not necessary can generate sales if the traffic is not targeted.

    Typically yes as long as you're not doing anything shady.

    What are your plans?
