    Welcome

    Make friends with other IG users by Liking their updates and by commenting on their updates. Then as you promote your offering, and as your friend network grows, you gain traction.

    Sponsored/paid options exist for marketing on IG but this organic method creates lasting affiliate sales, and increasing sales at that.

    Hello, I'm interested in this question for my website too) Let me know if you find some tip Although it all depends on the product that you offer and the market on which you offer this product. Perhaps it would be more appropriate not instagram but facebook or youtube.

    Instagram is all about visuals. If you're going to use this platform for your affiliate marketing (or in general, really), then you're going to want to start learning everything you can about photography and how to shoot quality images for your feed. The only way to see success is by having a beautifully curated Instagram feed.

    That being said, it can be one of the best platforms to make affiliate sales, because people can actually see you using/wearing what you're selling.

    The tool LiketoKnow.it (owned by rewardStyle) capitalized on just that, and has created a pretty neat affiliate marketing program for Instagram. It's application/invite-only, meaning you have to apply and be accepted for their program (which can take months), but if you get in, it is well worth it. It was originally created for fashion bloggers, but now has branched out to several different types of content:
    When you use LiketoKnow.it, you're able to tag the products in each of your photos. Anyone who has signed up to receive LiketoKnow.it notifications will receive an email with each of the products and a link to buy it. And because LiketoKnow.it is a "subaffiliate network," they work directly with the brands and you don't have to worry about disclosures on your posts.

    Now this shouldn't be the only way you do affiliate marketing on Instagram, and if your blog doesn't fall under one of the above content topics, you might not even be able to use this tool for your affiliate marketing on Instagram.

    Other methods include promoting products for companies with which you have a direct affiliate relationship with, rather than through a third-party like LiketoKnow.it. In this case, you would definitely have to include a disclosure.

    Because Instagram doesn't allow you to include links in your actual post, you also want to use affiliate links on this platform sparingly. If you have more than 10k followers, you could include a swipe up link on your Instagram Story, or you can swap out your profile link temporarily.

    The main 4 rules are:
    1: Focus on quality.
    2: Always disclose.
    3: Remember the 80:20 ratio.
    4: Don't be promotional; be natural.

    These tips will help you for sure.

    Using instagram for affiliate marketing is great idea only but you should be careful while getting into the process. Dont use too many promotions in your account. Try to make your account naturally.

    The only way I would do affiliate marketing on facebook is by making a regular post and directing them to a link you would only put in the first comment below the post. I would also make sure it's a purchased domain that's redirected to your offer

    I have seen a lot of instagrammers promote a lot of cpa related stuff lately. It's definitely possible by using the right hashtags and promoting the right offers which suits the Instagram audience.
