Niche sites
Run a niche affiliate site that doesn't need Google
Build a site that recommends products in one niche and earns a commission when readers buy through your links. Bring readers in from an email list, Reddit, and a Facebook group instead of waiting for Google.
The hard part: earning trust in Reddit threads and Facebook groups that dislike self-promotion, week after week.
Who pays
Stores and brands pay you a commission on each sale that comes through your links. 2whazzuup says their main affiliate site generated over $250,000 in referred revenue, meaning sales sent to merchants, not their own earnings. That is the poster's own claim. Your commission is a percentage of those sales, set by each merchant's affiliate program.
How to build it
Pick a niche and merchants
Choose a niche where people already ask for product advice on Reddit and in Facebook groups. Join the affiliate programs of the main stores or brands in it.
Build a small review site
Set up a simple site on Webflow with a few honest comparison and recommendation pages. Use Claude to help outline and edit them.
Start an email list
Create a free newsletter on beehiiv and add a signup box to every page. Send short picks and deals to subscribers regularly.
Answer questions on Reddit
Answer product questions in the relevant subreddits with useful detail. Link to your site only when a subreddit's rules allow it.
Run your own Facebook group
Start a Facebook group for the niche, post helpful content often, and share your guides and newsletter with members.
