Simple, you create a blog post explaining or talking about a certain product and you mention the affiliate links inside your article. then using free traffic methods you can get traffic to your article and make money with affiliate marketing.
Let’s explain more with a case study:
1. Publish an article on your blog.
2. In the article, promote multiple affiliate products (in my case, I chose 2).

How I Got 2 Conversions In 48 Hours?? (For Beginners)
I created an article about two email marketing services (comparison)
The title of the article was: SendinBlue VS GetResponse! Which One To Choose? (Full Guide).
So you can see it’s a comparison between two products, and if you check the article you will see I added both affiliate links for the two products.
Why Comparison Article?
Simply, The Psychology behind this type of article is that the reader is looking and reading it to choose between two services, and whatever they choose, you will earn money!!

Since we are talking here about free methods, Let's see my Top Free Traffic Method that I prefer:
SEO: by ranking our website and our posts on the top of search engines. So u can get free and organic traffic.
YouTube, which is one of the best sources of traffic. Simply create videos about your content and link back to your website.
Forums, search for forums related to your content and help others by sharing what u know and link to your website( DONT SPAM). Also don't forget Reddit, which is a great place to get free traffic. if you want, you can also join H-educate’s forum and get some traffic (H-educate sites get more than 100K views every month)
Quora Q&A is one of the fastest methods to get traffic. It's by answering questions on Quora and linking back to your site.
Social media, if u have some followers on Facebook, maybe Facebook groups, LinkedIn, Twitter, all these help u to get traffic, (you can automate posting on all platforms using a social media management software like Hootsuite)
Free ebooks and courses, you can create small free ebooks and publish on free ebooks sites to get traffic or publish free courses on udemy which has millions of students out there and link back to your site.
Slideshare, which is a website where u can share a small set of slides (pdf) and link back to your site.
Email Marketing, always make sure to build your email lists, which will be one of the top sources of traffic for your websites by sending newsletters to your Subscribers.
