Just wanted to drop a short story here — something one of our publishers recently shared after months of trial and error.
He’s been running Facebook Reels fanpages for a while now. The pages were pulling serious traffic, especially after switching to the US market. We’re talking millions in total reach, and follower counts ranging from 50k to over 100k depending on the niche.
But here's the kicker:
Almost no sales.
He had affiliate links in the posts, but nothing was converting. And if you’ve ever run fanpages, you know the feeling — big traffic, zero results. Super frustrating.
Where it went wrong
His pages were built purely for views. The content was engaging, sure, but it wasn’t built to sell. On top of that, the audience was mixed — some US, some from lower-converting countries. He basically posted entertaining stuff, dropped a link, and hoped someone would click and buy.
Turns out, traffic doesn’t mean much unless you know how to work it.
What changed
We had a quick chat and broke it down into a much simpler idea:
So he stopped chasing reach and started focusing on how to use the reach he already had.
Here’s what worked:
Sales started coming in. Nothing crazy at first — a few bucks here and there. But it was steady.
And once he figured out what kind of content triggered clicks, things scaled. A few pages running this setup now bring in 3–4 figures monthly.
(this is revenue today)
Not because he cracked some secret formula. But because he finally stopped chasing views and started treating those views like potential buyers.
Takeaway
Reels can absolutely work for affiliate — if you stop thinking like a content creator and start thinking like a seller. You don’t need a mega strategy. You just need to show the right product to the right people, in the right way.
Hope this helps someone out there struggling with the same thing.

Here’s what worked:
- Talk to the followers who already care
Instead of chasing viral hits, he focused on his loyal followers — people who were already reacting, commenting, and watching his stuff. - Pick products that are content in themselves
He chose affiliate products that looked good on video, sparked curiosity, or solved a relatable problem. Stuff people would want even without a hard sell. - Stick to the theme
Each product had to make sense for the page. If the fanpage was about DIY, he didn’t drop in a random beauty tool. Relevance made a huge difference. - Post like a human, not a salesman
No “Click here to buy!” spam. He wrote real posts — stories, personal notes, opinions — then naturally included the product link. - Keep it stupid simple
No funnels, no email capture, no landing page experiments. Just direct posts with affiliate links. Post > curiosity > click > sale.
