You are right bro, advertising good and quality product will attract more customers to purchase from you using your affiliate link,also trying as much as possible to drive more traffic to your site,all these needs more of your time
Talking about promoting goods?is there any other way to do that apart from affiliate marketing?yeah i think so, how about doing that using you social media account,such as Facebook, WhatsApp, telegram, Instagram, Twitter and tik tok,these will also help promote your goods or product, using social media like Facebook is my best option.why? because you'll meet several people there,not until u get their contact,like that of WhatsApp
Some people also have another means of doing that,what do you about hosting an event in a suitable place? hosting and event will sure promote your goods, because lots of people will attend your event, let's say out of 100 percent, at least 30 percent or more will like to patronize you,it all depends on the kind and quality of goods or product you advertise,and also they person you pay to advertise for you,if he or her is a type that can convince,i think you'll sure make more customers by promoting your goods or product.
