  3. Build a Platform: Whether it’s a blog, YouTube channel, social media profile, or website, establish a platform where you can share content related to your niche and integrate affiliate links naturally.
  4. Create Quality Content: Content is key to engaging your audience and driving conversions. Write product reviews, tutorials, or comparisons that provide value and incorporate affiliate links strategically.
  5. Promote Ethically: Disclose your affiliate relationships transparently to build trust with your audience. South African regulations require clear disclosure of affiliate links to ensure transparency.
  6. Optimize for Conversions: Experiment with different types of content and placement of affiliate links to optimize your conversion rates. Track performance using analytics provided by affiliate programs.
