this deserves a separate article
but there are many many places you can post your reflink at
some methods are more effective than others,some are almost useless (like spam)
in general,to get a referral you have to offer to your reader/watcher something of value
it can be either a direct incentitive to join under you(special %,bonus points,free meal etc.
),valuable information about the offer or company you promote or ... simply make your potential affiliate smile
there is a separate category of people that deletes affiliate prefixes from the links they click on,so you are best off with so-called "no affiliate leakage links" where the user is redirected to the site and stores your cookies for a period of time
hence make your reflinks as inconspicuous as possible: there is a difference between clicking on
www.mysuperprogramme.com/?=Imakemoneyofyou and
www.mysuperprogramme.com while in reality it is same link
there are many ways to incorporate affiliate links into your blog or forum,try to find one that is working for you
so,back to the places to advertise your affiliate cash cows
1.social media: twitter,facebook,linkedin,instagram,periscope,vkontakte,google+,youtube etc.
works like a charm,requires additional text "meat" around it and in case of youtube or similar services-videos
a successful reddit or twitter account could be bringing you hundreds of people
2.personal blog or site
incorporate links into articles or simply post a top 10,20,50 etc. best,sexiest,most lucrative offers on Earth (readers love top 10 articles)
3.forums
find forums where your audience dvells,read the rules and post in appropriate sections
once again and I cannot emphasize it enough DO NOT SPAM,not only it is bad but also a waste of time and effort
use your signature and homepage space wisely!
4.PTC sites
try it,some offers bring ridiculous profit
i.e. if you buy 10.000 direct visits for 20$ and you get 30 signups to bring you 1$ each,you are making profit already even without rebills
5.bitcoin or other ad networks (Adsense,a-ads,mellowads etc.)
same with PTC sites,it requires calculation and tests
but if you want to make money,you have to spend money
6.services like bitbin or pastebin
borderline spam but effective for gambling or freebie offers
7.free ad boards
create a "job offer" text,put your reflink in
as I mentioned above,there are many more and each method can be described in detail,but this topic deserves a separate article
and is closely connected with marketing,arbitrage,sales,social media promotion etc.
hope it gives you general ideas on how to move forward and become an affiliate marketing king(or queen)
