I'm building an affiliate content site and need places to publish articles

Here are some good places to publish affiliate-style articles, depending on how you want to grow the site:

1. Your own website

Best long-term option.
Publish SEO-focused articles, product roundups, comparisons, how-to guides, and review pages. This gives you full control and builds a brand you own.

2. Medium

Good for reach and discovery.
You can repurpose educational or thought-leadership content, but be careful with direct affiliate links and promotional wording.

3. LinkedIn Articles

Useful if your niche is B2B, finance, software, careers, or professional services.
Works best for informational content that can drive traffic back to your site.

4. Substack

Good if you want to build an email list around your niche.
You can publish article-style newsletters and link readers to your affiliate content site.

5. Quora

Helpful for answering niche questions and linking to helpful resources.
Focus on genuinely useful answers rather than promotional posts.

6. Reddit

Can work if you’re subtle and genuinely helpful.
Most subreddits dislike affiliate promotion, so use it mainly for participation, insights, and traffic from value-added posts.

7. Facebook Groups / Communities

Good for niche engagement.
You can share useful articles where relevant, but avoid spammy affiliate posting.

8. Niche forums

Examples: software forums, hobby communities, review communities.
These are often better than broad platforms because the audience is already targeted.

9. Guest posts on other blogs

Great for backlinks and authority.
Write genuinely useful content for related sites and include a contextual link back to your site.

10. YouTube descriptions / video scripts

If you’re open to video, you can turn articles into videos and link to your site in the description.

Best approach

For an affiliate content site, the strongest strategy is usually:

• Publish on your own site first
• Repurpose into Medium, LinkedIn, Substack, Quora, and niche communities
• Use each platform to drive traffic back to your main site

Important note

Many platforms restrict affiliate links directly. To stay safe:

• Read each platform’s policies
• Avoid spammy language
• Focus on useful, original content
• Use links naturally and sparingly

If you want, I can also give you:

1. a list of the best platforms by niche, or
2. a content distribution plan for affiliate articles.
