Social Media Marketing

If you’re under the assumption that you will share any product on your wall post and your social followers will purchase it then you are wrong. This is not possible. Your social followers will not purchase anything before they establish a level of trust with you.

It means that a consumer wants multiple levels of interactions with your brand first and once it established the level of trust, they will start purchasing your affiliated products.

In simple words, no one will purchase your affiliate products in the first instances only. First, you need to interact with your social followers and thereby gain their trust. Once they start trusting you, you can sell your products to them.
