I would like to know how I can post affiliate links on FB - without paying FB.

I see many people posting these links.

BUT - I tried posting links from CPAs and FB does not allow.

Please guide.

Thank you and regards.

    You can't. They are probably posting links to a direct page.

    Your best bet there would be to create a free offer, like an ebook, put it up on a page on a site you own and collect emails that way. THAT you can post on facebook.

    Even if you could post affiliate links on facebook,What do you think your conversion rates would be?

    0 most likely.

    Hope this helps

    Links from some affiliate programs will work and some won't. Even if you're able to find an affiliate program that isn't blocked, you're much better off running traffic to your own page and capturing e-mail addresses.

    Another member of WF posted on another thread that he used FB very effectively for promoting affiliate links. He uploaded pictures on Facebook, and the pictures were the ones that went viral. He would put the affiliate links in the descriptions of those pictures. It worked out well for him. Perhaps you can try something like that.

    Facebook doesn't allow any external coding to be inserted in comments, wall posts, etc. So you'll have to find another place to put the code.

    Yes, you can do this. The best way:
    1. Get your full affiliate link, including the http prefix.
    2. Go to Google's shorten free service: http://goo.gl/
    Shorten you link and copy it.
    3. Paste the new link on Facebook's "update status" box. Optional add some extra text. If your sharing it on a fan page, do not hit "Post" yet. After Facebook will grab the link's thumb image, click on "upload image" and change the image with your own.
    4. Hit post and your affiliate link should be there.
