How to Use Reddit + Twitter for Affiliate Marketing

in marketing •  6 years ago 

Hey guys, gonna be detailing a method I've noticed being spammed on several reddits I browse, pretty good idea tbh. I've done some reverse looking into how it's done, after recognizing the potential of reddit to drive traffic.

The affiliate site I'm showcasing is going to be amazon, just because that's what I see the people using this method. However, I put a VERY SPECIFIC spin on the method and was able to earn $500 in a single day. You'll have to think outside the box - no help there from me.

The better you are at copywriting/marketing, the more success you will see.

What do consumers like? Deals!
So we're going to give it to them. Just ones we happen to be affiliated with. So to start off:

1. Reddit Account Creation

It is extremely easy for me. Because i am a software delevoper and i developed an account creator for reddit. If you know programming, you can make your own account creator with python. If you don't know programming, you have to create accounts manually. They ask you for an email initially, but you can just hit "next" on that and ignore it entirely. You can reasonably operate 2-3 accounts on the same IP, so you can start there.

My account creator is in action :

2 - Getting Karma

Several subreddits have limits placed on accounts, sometimes based on time, other times based on karma. You can't do much about the time besides buying accounts (I have no recommendations, I'm a patient person) but you CAN farm karma very easily. All you have to do is grab a funny gif off google - something with pets or the like is recommended, then post in a subreddit like https://www.reddit.com/r/aww/ or https://www.reddit.com/r/gifs/. I've also seen people posting art from deviantart on the like in corresponding subreddits. You just want to submit some sort of image that gets upvotes. With python or any programming language you can automa whole process easily. Atm i am growing thousands of accounts with my reddit bot.

3 - Create your twitter page

Now we're going to go to twitter, which we'll be using as our landing page. You can use an old twitter or an existing twitter, entirely up to you, makes little difference - we'll be linking directly to tweets so your profile is less important. A good idea is to go for a general "deals/savings" type page. Pick a corresponding avatar and a nice cover photo. I copied what others before me were doing here.

  1. A real name.
  2. Your twitter link, something generic or brandable related to the sick savings or offers you'll be posting on your website.
  3. IMPORTANT! Put an affiliate disclaimer in your twitter bio. Many programs REQUIRE you put some sort of disclaimer somewhere on your websites/links - treat your twitter page the same.
  4. Your tweet - composition is simple. Just post the deal/offer in the tweet, and include specifics. Is it 25% off? Include it. Then include the item. You can also include how much the regular price is. You're just trying to sell them on how
    sick this deal is.
  5. Your link to the deal. If you're using amazon, it'll be an amzn.to link.
  6. Feel free to put hash tags related to the product. No reason to miss out on potential, organic twitter viewers looking for the same deal.
  7. Image of the product.
  8. Create your tweet.

Sort of covered above, just compose your tweet. Include the deal/product/offer, the link (amzn.to or other), relevant hashtags, and a relevant image.

Grab the link to the tweet.

4 - Posting on Reddit

This comes down to you. There are two ways to do this.

• Posting link to tweet on Reddit.

This is pretty straightforward. Find relevant subreddits, ones where people actually care about the product/offer/deal/niche. Submit the tweet as a link, either as a salesman, a person giving just a PSA for fellow whatever that subreddit is, etc.

This is a little less straightforward and more depending on your own savvy, but you can post it in text posts on reddit. From what I've seen, reddit is less strict on text posts as well - sometimes rules set in place against links don't apply to the text post at all. For example, if you post as someone who just happened upon the deal but are unsure about it.

Thread Title:
Quote:
The product is on sale for 20% Off. Is it worth it? Any testimonies?

Hey guys, I just found this deal on Twitter. I've been looking out for deals on the product for a while now, and I'm thinking this might be my best chance to snatch it up.

But is it worth it?

Looking on Amazon, there are a couple of negative reviews that have me apprehensive. I'm trying to get an opinion from someone who has personally tried the product. Would you recommend it? People naturally upvote these posts if you're appealing to them right. And in the case of this text post, the people commenting on the post will literally SELL THE PRODUCT TO OTHER PEOPLE FOR YOU. But if you have trouble getting upvotes...

5 - Vote Manipulation

You can upvote your own posts with the accounts you've been creating and karma farming on. I'm 100% sure reddit doesn't count upvotes from newer accounts/accounts with 0 karma, so don't start doing this until you've farmed up some karma with gifs/fan art/etc. Then, you'll have to invest in proxies or a VPN (no recommendations, not selling anything) and log in with these on to upvote your own posts. Don't forget to clear cache and/or switch browsers in
between IPs. People claim you have to CREATE these accounts with different IPs as well.

I'm using my upvote / downvote bot form my subreddits. If you're upvoting yourself, don't upvote more than once per minute early on, or you can run into some auto-removal situations. If you want to go an easier way, you can also buy upvotes and downvotes.

6 - Conclusion

Direct traffic allows people who are at home and willing to do a little work to earn money a way to do so. Take that revenue, expand this method, and figure out how to turn it into a steady stream of income. Reddit is a fantastic website to get direct traffic from if you know how to appeal to the people there. A good sign of whether or not you're providing
value is the number of natural upvotes your posts get. The more you browse Reddit, the more you'll recognize how to appeal to users, as well as think of various twists you can put on this method.

Good luck.
