Most of our affiliates are using their own social media platform to promote the products, it can be their YouTube channel, facebook, twitter and so on. But the most popular method is Instagram. Today, we are going to give out some tips of how to earn commissions with instagram.

Firstly, we have to know how to create your exclusive shopping link that contains the tracing function, which means, if someone click the link that you post and purchase successfully, you will receive commission accordingly. Click “Tools” - “Custom Link” in the main menu of FirstGrabber. Choose the merchant at the top right corner, copy the link of the products that you want to promote in the blank, name the link and click “Create Link”.
