Affiliate Marketing with Flickr

7 Comments

I’ve been visiting Flickr almost daily to get my pictures for this blog, and I just recently came up with this idea.

How about building links and doing affiliate marketing on Flickr? I have seen that Flickr has a great and active community, so it’d be pretty easy to get targeted traffic from them, not only that but you can also get customers.

When you use flickr you can simply upload an image with a good quality and leave a short description linking to your affiliate landing page. You have to make sure that the description does not look like you are trying to sell something but rather as an informational link or else you risk getting your account closed.

Something good that you can do in order to get traffic is to upload hundreds of images of a certain product and leave a watermark with your site’s name on it so if someone wants to buy the product they can simply use the watermark.

You can also start talking with the other members and making friends and attracting them to your site. I find that this method works the best but it takes long to work.

i don’ think this might work ?
yes you can use flickr to promote for your self ,
but the community is so picky they only share unique and very good pictures

You can make any picture unique with a little time in Photoshop.
If you don’t have photoshop then I would suggest going to Google and finding out how to get it for free although that wouldn’t be allowed, but you didn’t hear it from me.
