How to Share Your Affiliate Link on Snapchat For Increased Visibility

Why Use Snapchat for Affiliate Marketing?

Snapchat is a highly engaging platform that allows you to share content in a personal and interactive way. While Snapchat Stories disappear after 24 hours, it offers several ways to share your affiliate link repeatedly and keep it accessible to your audience.

Benefits of Using Snapchat for Affiliate Marketing:

✅ Highly engaged audience – People actively view and interact with content
✅ Story links allow direct access to your affiliate link
✅ Saved Highlights keep your link available beyond 24 hours
✅ Spotlight videos provide viral potential to reach new audiences

This guide will show you how to strategically share your affiliate link on Snapchat using both passive and active methods to drive sales.

 

 

Important Disclaimer: Snapchat Features Can Change!

Snapchat frequently updates its platform, including how links can be shared. Make sure to check for the latest updates and ensure your account has access to features like Story Links and Saved Highlights.

 

 

Passive Income Placements (Set & Forget Strategies)

Snapchat is primarily a real-time platform, but there are still ways to make your affiliate link visible long-term with saved content.

 

📌 Story Links (Direct Clicks to Your Affiliate Link!)

Snapchat allows you to add clickable links to your Stories, making it easy for viewers to go directly to your affiliate page.

How to Add a Link to Your Snapchat Story:

1️⃣ Open Snapchat and create a photo or video
2️⃣ Tap the Paperclip Icon (🔗) on the right side
3️⃣ Paste your affiliate link
4️⃣ Add a call-to-action (CTA) in your Story text (Example: “Swipe up to check it out!”)
5️⃣ Post your Story

🔹 Pro Tip: Use engaging visuals or tease the benefits of the workbook before dropping the link to encourage swipes.

 

📌 Saved Highlights (Keep Your Link Visible for Longer!)

Since Snapchat Stories disappear after 24 hours, Saved Highlights allow you to keep important Stories visible on your profile indefinitely.

How to Use Saved Highlights for Affiliate Sales:

1️⃣ After posting a Snapchat Story with your affiliate link, tap Save to Highlights
2️⃣ Create a Highlight category (Example: “Self-Care Tools” or “My Resources”)
3️⃣ Arrange multiple Stories with different angles about the workbook (testimonials, walkthroughs, etc.)
4️⃣ Direct people to your profile to check out your saved Highlights

🔹 Pro Tip: Name your Highlight something clear and engaging, so people know what to expect when they tap on it.

 

📌 Spotlight Videos (Reach a Larger Audience with Viral Potential!)

Snapchat Spotlight is similar to TikTok’s For You Page, where short-form videos can go viral and reach a broader audience.

How to Use Spotlight Videos for Affiliate Marketing:

1️⃣ Create an engaging, short-form video showcasing the workbook
2️⃣ Keep it authentic and entertaining—Spotlight rewards engagement and originality
3️⃣ In your video, mention your Snapchat profile link for viewers to check out your saved Highlights or Story Links
4️⃣ Submit your video to Spotlight through the Snapchat app

🔹 Pro Tip: While you can’t add direct links in Spotlight videos, you can direct viewers to your profile, where they’ll find your Saved Highlights and Story Links.

 

 

Active Promotions (Where & How to Actively Share the Link)

While passive placements keep your link available for people to find, actively sharing content encourages immediate engagement and clicks.

 

📢 Regularly Posting Story Links

Since Snapchat prioritizes fresh content, it’s best to share your affiliate link frequently by posting Stories with clickable links.

How to Keep Your Story Links Engaging:

✔️ Personal Testimonial – Share how the workbook has helped you
✔️ Q&A Sessions – Answer common questions and direct viewers to your link
✔️ Behind-the-Scenes – Show how you use the workbook in your daily routine
✔️ Challenges & Engagements – Ask viewers to interact (Example: “Reply if you’ve set goals for this year!”)

🔹 Pro Tip: Use emojis, stickers, and filters to make your Stories fun and engaging.

 

📢 Engaging with Friends & Followers

Snapchat is more personal than other platforms, so engaging directly with your audience can boost trust and sales.

How to Engage with Followers to Drive Affiliate Sales:

✔️ If someone asks for recommendations, send them your link in a Snap or message
✔️ Use the Chat feature to discuss the benefits of the workbook
✔️ Respond to Story Replies with more information about the workbook

🔹 Pro Tip: If you frequently engage with your audience, they’ll be more likely to check out your recommendations.

 

 

Tips for Maximizing Engagement & Conversions

🔹 Use Strong CTAs in Every Story → Instead of just sharing the link, say:

• “💡 This helped me set my goals—check it out! Swipe up!”
• “Need help with self-care? I’ve got a tool for you—link in my bio!”

🔹 Post Consistently → Snapchat’s algorithm prioritizes active users, so post daily or multiple times per week.

🔹 Encourage Replies → Ask questions or run polls to boost interaction.

🔹 Use Engaging Filters & Stickers → Make your Stories visually appealing so people stay engaged.

🔹 Test Different Content Types → Mix tutorials, testimonials, and casual chats to see what gets the most clicks.
