Post short, faceless text posts on your own Facebook profile (plus Instagram carousels and 8-15 second text-on-screen reels) written to get people commenting, then reply to each commenter with an affiliate link to someone else's product. The presenter promotes make-money-online courses and software found on affiliate networks like JVZoo and ClickBank, and prefers timed product launches, where the seller runs live webinars and closes enrollment at a deadline. On Instagram, a tool like ManyChat sends the link automatically by direct message when someone comments a keyword.

He shows $1,154 in commissions from the day before recording, $3.82 earned per link click early in one launch, and a post made an hour earlier already at about 25,000 views and 68 comments, and recommends three to five (up to ten) posts a day. His reasoning: platforms now cut reach for posts that send people off-site, so asking for a comment and replying with the link keeps reach high; high-ticket offers ($1,000-$3,000 at about 50% commission) pay far more per sale for the same effort; and launches convert better than evergreen affiliate offers because the product owner's live calls and closing deadline do the selling, not you.

Someone comfortable posting several times a day and replying to comments, who is willing to vet affiliate offers carefully before attaching their name to them.

Comment-for-a-link posting is a real, widely used engagement tactic, and leaning on a launch's built-in sales process is a sound affiliate insight. But the sample posts are engagement bait ("There's a proven formula to making $500 per day... Who wants it?") promoting make-money-online products, a niche full of overpromising offers, so your reputation rides on whatever you link to, and Facebook can limit reach for engagement-bait posts. The income figures are the presenter's own screenshots (he says results aren't typical), and the video ends by pointing to his own program.
