Hello everyone, I built a new affiliate marketing blog website and I never got accepted for any affiliate programs yet because there is no traffic, now I wanna build a high content for example for x product so I need a photos for this product and you know I couldn't get it from google because of copyright ! so what to do ? this product doesn't exist on pexels or unsplash ? what to do !
Useing media for my new affiliate website !
- Thread starter blogbiz
- Start date
Affiliate Program, or i it an affiliate offer from an affiliate network?
Those who provide affiliate programs most always have images, banner, and other creatives available for the affiliates they onboard so they have a starting point. Anything short of that would lead me to suspect their affiliate program isn't quite fully developed.
Anytime an affiliate program is presented, one of the red flags for me is the absence of a press kit.
ok, but if I'm justa new and no traffic yet on my website even to join affiliate programs, could I just create the content without media and after I got traffic and accepted in affiliate programs can I edit the page or content by adding photos and media of the products >?
of course, I have a niche about beauty and I have my blog site and I run a good content for user and seo strategy
I have not read about VPS before but I got some information that something like virtual hosting ? should I acquire it ?
I haven't got tracker yet because there is no traffic on my site yet
what to do now ?

A VPS is a separate server in a Virtual Private Server Configuration and not a shared account on a host server.

Start by installing GA-4 (Google Analytics) if you need insights—especially while developing SEO or social media referrals. When you start buying paid traffic then you need a tracker to be able to make fast decisions on various media buys.
This is a tool that should be purchased long before starting buying any traffic in volume. Trackers have a learning curve for newbies. They should get the tracker now, buy cheap penny click traffic to learn how the tracker works. Then, once reasonably understanding and being functional with the tracker, prime paid traffic should be introduced to the funnels. IMO!

This guy doesn't even know what a VPS is 
This is Day 1 for him. Don't spend a lot of money experimenting in the beginning and spend a few months on the basics—one foot in front of the other if you don't know.
Any enterprise has a learning curve unless your daddy owns the company. My uncle made me sweep the floor of the furniture store when I was 15 one summer. You learn the merchandise and the product flow that way. I never forgot that process ...

My dad was like that too. I grew up in the restaurant and nightclub business. Fine dining. My older brother and I started by stacking returnable bottle from the bottle shoot rack in the basement at age 12. Then we would move up to cleaning bathrooms, sweeping and mopping and then move up to dishwashing. It sure helped me build a work ethic and really helped me later in life when I had employees.

Read the whole back and forth:
Most replies are really internet rhetoric IMHO from AI on this topic
What to Do If You Need Product Photos (Legally) for Affiliate Content
1. Use the Brand’s Official Affiliate Assets
If the product has an affiliate program (or even a store listing like Amazon), check for:
- Affiliate resource centers – many companies provide logos, lifestyle images, and banners.
- Amazon Associates – if you’re part of the program, you can legally use product images from Amazon via their API or site strip.
- ClickBank / ShareASale / Impact – many offers include downloadable media kits or approved creatives.
Tip: Even if you’re not yet accepted into the affiliate program, try contacting their support. Mention you’re writing an SEO article about their product — they might share assets anyway.2. Use Manufacturer or Vendor Images (With Proper Credit)
- Go to the official website of the product or its retailers (e.g., Best Buy, Target).
- Look for press kits or media sections — often these have high-res images meant for public use.
- If unsure, email the brand with a short note like:
3. Create Your Own Visuals (Even Without the Product)
- Use Canva, Figma, or Photopea to create:
- Product comparison graphics
- Feature breakdowns
- “What’s in the box” mockups
- You can also use AI image tools (like DALL·E, Midjourney) to generate abstract representations (great for lifestyle blog visuals).
4. Use Paid Stock Photo Sites (Optional)
If the product is generic (headphones, fitness gear, tools, etc.), try:
- Envato Elements (huge library + commercial license)
- Shutterstock / Adobe Stock – more expensive, but safer if you scale content
- DepositPhotos – often runs discounts
5. Add Value with Original Content
Even without fancy photos, many affiliate blogs rank with:
- Comparison charts
- Pros & cons tables
- Feature highlight icons
- Infographics or how-to guides
These are easy to create and don’t require product images.
Avoid These:
- Don’t hotlink to product images from other sites — it's unethical and often breaks.
- Don’t use Google Images unless you’re filtering by license (Tools > Usage Rights > "Creative Commons").
Final Tip:
Once your blog gets some traffic or indexed content, affiliate approvals will get easier. Even 5–10 optimized posts can show intent and get you accepted.
