In this simple guide, you will learn the basic steps you can take to have success with my Top 5 most recommended CPA marketing Free Traffic Methods. These traffic sources are 100% free, require no complicated tools, and are easy to use.
Each Traffic source will suit a specific CPA offer well so we shall go over each of them and the type of offer you should run on each platform. Stay around till the end because we have an amazing bonus in store for you.
1. Youtube.
Youtube Traffic will work for all niches of CPA marketing but you will have to ensure the product/offer is high quality and would really help the visitors you send.
Youtube is good if the offers you are promoting are sort of high converting and lead to a website that requires less work by the visitor.
Let me give you an example.
Below is an example of a video i would make because the competition is low and there is interest in the topic itself. The results are specifically not on point which means you can get views. whaaaaaaaaaaaaaalaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
If I wanted to promote a starbucks giftcard then i would find a couple of websites with startbucks giftcards on the cpa network of others on other networks. Compile the websites in a simple video and then add my affiliate links to these sites in the description of the video.
You should collect emails for the long term because it helps you have an email list of targeted customers that you can email each week. If you want help creating the landing page then try watching my detailed video on Convertkit.
Youtube is a good traffic source if you wish more help with affiliate marketing on Youtube watch the video attached below you will love it I know!
2. Reddit.
Here are the simple steps to take when you are looking to get traffic from Reddit. You will have to be careful with affiliate links,
Here is a simple breakdown of what you should do.
- Find a list of subreddits that are interested in your CPA offer. For example If it is a zip code submit then you would consider subreddits about rentals and moving people.
- Next join the subreddit and see what content gets the most engagement and repost or make some similar to those.
- After you have buuild up trust in the subreddit create a landing page. I don’t recommend collecting emails. It is just a simple task that requires less friction so don’t complicate it.
- Share a link to your landing page together with a list of other valuable resources so that it looks natural and less spammy. This is the secret to really helping people while making your CPA affiliate commissions.
- Repeat and then scale with other subreddits. Once you have some sales coming in I would encourage you to try Bing ads. They are cheap, easy and affordable for beginners.

3. TikTok.
TikTok is an easy one especially if you find an offer that makes sense for the audience on the platform. Not all niches will see huge traction on TikTok. That’s the nature of the beast, you will have to face it no matter what.
With TikTok, you can repost content just like Instagram while giving credit to the official owners. You can also repurpose content from Instagram to TikTok only if it makes sense and you can give credit to the owner.
Here are some common niches/ CPA offer examples that can be good for CPA marketing.
- Music toobars
- Animation tools.
- Bible toolbars
- Motivational music toolbars
- ASMR music.
- Commedy websites.
- MAke money online websites ( ensure they are non spammy)
- Weightloss & Food recipe ckecklists.
If the CPA offer you are interested in is not on your current network you can search for it on Offervault.
This website will list the exact match and some Affiliate networks majority CPA offers that hosts the offer. It may be hard to join some of them but if you can make some sales you can signup for Maxbounty it is a good one with good offers.
Most of these networks have an approval process which means you will have to go through it and this means they have awesome programs on there that don’t allow spammy affiliates with junk traffic.
Once you found an offer create a landing page and then create mobile videos using the Canva templates they have readily available for you.
These videos will reflect on your product with a call to action to visit your website. You can shorten the link of the landing page using bitly (bit.ly) and customize the end half. If you want to see an example of such a video watch my video about Teepsring marketing and traffic generation.
The video shows what they get when they visit the site and if it is a physical product go through it and see what your visitors will see so you can understand what videos to create.
4. Facebook
With Facebook, you will need to be a bit more careful like for Reddit or forum-like sites. I am going to give you a simple strategy broken down in simple steps to help you get some targeted and easy traffic for your own benefit as an affiliate.
- Create a Facebook fan page about a specific topic. This can be about giftcards or giveaways can be any niche not specifically these.
- Next customize the page to look professional and then find some Facebook groups in a specific county.
Notice: We are not just joining Facebook groups in our niche. These are full of spam and other affiliates. For this method, you will entirely need to find county groups that are active and have no spammers posting links.
To find them search on Facebook ” town/state of target location of your CPA offer + county” For example for USA offers I would do something like.
- Arizona county
- Las Vegas county
- Houston county
Hope you get the idea now.
PSA?NOTE: you are joining the groups as a page you created not with your profile…
Join those that are active and some can allow you to see the posts in the group before you join. If you can’t tell join you can always leave later.
Once you have joined see what content gets engagement then share that on your own fan page or create similar. You can share your fan page posts in these groups and whoever likes the post invite them to like the page.
Once you have a couple of followers share engaging posts that keep people engaged so that Facebook boosts your reach. Repeat and scale without methods mentioned here.
This method can be applied for Facebook profiles too. If you want to know watch the video attached above it’s short.
5. Blog Traffic.
Blogs are a very easy and most popular way of getting free traffic. It is no different with CPA offers.
You can simply create free a blog using Blogger, Google sites without spending a single coin on hosting and domains. Blogger is an underrated method or hosting platform that most people don’t use.
Blogger ranks much better than Google sites and I would recommend this method if you want to get free traffic from Google. If you don’t know or neither understand what I mean let me explain further.
” If i wanted to promote a gift-card for Walmart, Amazon, Starbucks and the visitor is required to submit their email I would write articles about the ” Best websites to get free giftcards and Coupons”.
Just assuming. Of course that is very competitive. but you would use the tools and methods I explained in the videos below to find low competition keywords you can go for.”
Once it ranks you get free traffic from google and people will click your links to check out the websites. Trust me It works.
If you need additional help on how to use Blogger I have attached a video and additional videos on how to find easy rank for keywords for your blogger website or even Google sites. The video walks you through the following:
- Starting the website.
- Customizing the blogger website.
- Keyword research using free tools.
- Submitting your blogger site to Google analytics and Search console.
- Writing content.
- Repurpose your content with Youtube.
Other videos on blogger you can watch to get a better idea of how to use blogger for CPA or Affiliate marketing.
All the videos can help you find easy keywords, niches, and angles your competition are using to get free targeted traffic to their affiliate links.
Once you have got the articles and are satisfied with your work go on and add your affiliate links. These links will automatically get clicks and generate commissions on a daily basis if the visitors complete the action required of them.
6. Bonus Pinterest.
Pinterest by far is the best free traffic source for CPA marketing. You can get a lot of free traffic from Pinterest if you dominate low competition keywords similar to Google right. Watch the video attached below on how to rank Pinterest pins on Google.
With Pinterest, I managed to dominate a low competition keyword and gained 200-300 free visitors each month from Pinterest to my very website. Just imagine if you had 10-30 of those keywords you dominated. It wouldn’t be hard to get sales.
And if the product converts and has less friction you are going to the races and will make sales no doubt. If you have the time each day you can create 4-8 pins daily consistently and traffic will pick up.
Join group boards to scale up and grow much quicker. group boards help you get more exposure as they gather people interested in your topic and links. You can use Pingroupie for this to find these niche-specific Pinterest group boards.
If you want a detailed Pinterest breakdown on how to get traffic from this platform then go and read my Pinterest guide for affiliate marketing the ideas will remain the same so check it and take action.
Conclusion.
By now you should be confident enough to use any of the traffic sources you choose today. You have also got a free bonus traffic source to help you get more results from your CPA marketing efforts.
