To see examples of affiliate offers please go here:

Often, we would create a pre-sell page, also called a "bridge" page or a landing page, to pre-sell the user. So the user would see the pre-sell page first, then if they click they would see the affiliate offer, and when they convert, we get revenue.
And we would promote the pre-sell on traffic platforms - like the ones you listed (google/social/native/push/pop/etc.)
Buying traffic and sending to a niche site can work. It depends on how you do it. Can we see a screenshot of your site or the actual url? It would be easier to give you advice.

no tiktok will not replace it because tiktok is not about discussion like facebook
tiktok is about short attention span and entertainment.. vid after vid after vid after vid
but if humanity is going the way of stupidity, then tiktok and other services like it, that push entertainment and no discussion could take over who knows

Got to say - a lot of tiktok vids ARE stupid. But it's not all bad so I wouldn't throw out the baby with the bath water. There's some high-quality stuff on Tiktok as well - but got to do some looking.

BUT I also think that TikTOk algo is far superior to Facebook, which I think will overtake

The beauty of TikTok is that you have to intentionally engage in the comments, so it is much easier to avoid the stupid drama of many discussions.
@iAmAttila @vortex I understand very little of TikTok at the moment... Having said that all I understand is the stats, profits, and ROI in a short span of time marketers are getting from the platform. Much like Instagram of 2012 or Facebook ads around that time. So, despite the "stupid videos"... I would say, "So what?!" and "Why not?!" 
It's a shame TikTok is banned in my country.

I'm actually in a number of FB groups that are very active where people have high-quality and helpful discussions. In terms of content quality, I wouldn't fault either platform - again, there's good mixed with bad, we just need to find the baby and leave the bathwater.FB certainly has hit a really rough patch as of late. Whether they'll continue on the downwards trajectory or not, remains to be seen. It IS a fact that FB's user base has been shrinking steadily in the last few years, while Tiktok has been experiencing explosive growth. So there's definitely potential for Tiktok to overtake FB one day.
In spite of everything though, I'm not ready to give up FB for Tiktok just yet. FB provides a mature and established platform where most of the online population is already present. Old habits die hard - it would take Tiktok some time yet to get most of the current FB users to make the switch/shift. This is one of the reasons why the majority of Tiktok users are below 30 - they're more accepting of everything new.
The biggest difference between FB and Tiktok, as far as I can tell, is that FB users use more text (in posts and comments), whereas Tiktok's mostly about vids - even a lot of the comments are in the form of vids.
This difference is probably another reason why young people like Tiktok more:
(Reference: https://www.adweek.com/performance-m...g-form-170739/)
(BTW - this knowledge can help us decide whether to use long text vs. video on our landing pages, depending on the average age of our target demo.
)What I foresee will happen is that as more of the younger folks with their preference for vids and their short attention spans flock to Tiktok, some of the older folks - with their preference for text and longer attention spans - will choose to remain on FB.
And this split in user age will influence which platform advertisers will focus on, depending on the age of their target customers.
For all we know, this trend may have started already.
Aside from all the speculation, one thing is for certain: Tiktok has grown to be a major source of traffic that can no longer be ignored by any serious marketer.
@iwanttofly Thanks for the discussion - you always push me to think further!

Thank you for the kind words @vortex. And those are all valid points. I definitely don't think Facebook is going anywhere any time soon, and their user base and the fact it is older has value to advertisers. However, I'm not sure how long they will be around, certainly as a major force.
At its core, I don't believe Facebook really cares about its users. They say all the right words, but their actions directly contradict it at every turn. TikTok really hasn't done enough for me to form a strong opinion. Their compliance algorithms definitely need work, both on the advertiser and user side. But I think that can be fixed as long as there is a desire.
As an example of why I think Facebook doesn't care, they are currently running a tv campaign in the US. It is primarily shown during morning network news programming, Today, CBS This Morning, etc. and evening network news. It is aimed at policy makers and the people who influence them and the goal is to paint Facebook as caring, but needing government guidance on privacy, fake news and other issues. The reason I say they don't care is that they really aren't working to address these issues, but to instead frame the discussion that they care and simply need the government to do it for them. But then turn around and lobby the government behind the scenes to ensure they face no accountability no matter what they do.

Fortunately, users and advertisers have free will as well - and will only stay on a platform for as long as it serves their needs.
And with more and more entrepreneurs in the world, where there's demand, there will be no shortage of supply.
On a side note (and a more optimistic one): I believe that with more and more people having access to the internet, there's less and less room for hiding the truth. And with all the online business opportunities today, more and more people are able to amass wealth without having special connections or relationships with the elite. With truth and wealth comes power. I predict that in the next 10 years, we'll see power and wealth shift from the elite 1% to the individual. We shall see in a few years.
Amy
Yes and no. Every company is out to make money. But many realize that taking care of their customers, employees or both is a great way to do that. So far Facebook doesn't seem to grasp that.
As to the power shift, let's hope. It will be interesting to see as the elite are definitely fighting it right now.
And on another note, I sent you a PM about a forum issue. Please let me know if there is someone I should have sent it to instead.
