How I’d Start Affiliate Marketing on Instagram in 2025 (If I Had to Start from Zero).

[CordBrickNick]

If you’re new to affiliate marketing and overwhelmed by all the “get-rich-quick” nonsense, here’s a simple, real-world plan that works.

Forget risky health supplements, fake crypto tokens, or spammy links that get your Instagram shadowbanned.

Instead, promote a real, small physical product that solves a daily problem. It doesn’t need your face, you don’t need to be an influencer, and you don’t need 10K followers to make money.

Here’s the plan (step by step):

• Try to promote and pick a clean, small & problem-solving product.
• Think of a product that people use every day, an inexpensive, impulse-buy gadget that doesn’t make big promises but solves an annoying problem almost everyone has.
• Find the product, apply to join, and get approved for the affiliate program.
• Ask for good content, such as free short videos (UGC), photos, and captions, to post.
• Make a new niche page on Instagram.

1. No personal brand is needed.
2. Post 3–4 reels/videos/images per week
3. Use the videos you’re given, show the problem → the fix → a simple CTA.
4. Use trending audio. Keep it 10–20 seconds max.
5. Use some trending hashtags.
