How to promote affiliate links on WhatsApp and TikTok
WhatsApp and TikTok are where most South Africans spend their time, which makes them powerful (and free) channels for affiliate income. The key is to be genuinely helpful, not spammy. Here is how to do it well.

Join freeWhatsApp: help first, share second
WhatsApp works because it is personal. Instead of blasting your link, share it where it is genuinely relevant:
- ✓Answer questions in business and side-hustle groups, then mention the tool
- ✓Use your Status to show a quick before/after or a short demo
- ✓Send a helpful voice note to business-owner contacts with your link
- ✓Share a flyer with your QR code so people can scan instead of type
TikTok: show the outcome
Short, useful videos win. Show the result, not a sales pitch: a 20-second clip of scanning a menu QR code, a "how I earn recurring commission" explainer, or a quick walkthrough of the live demo. Put your link in your bio and mention it naturally at the end.
Use a live demo to convert
People buy what they understand. The QR Code Pro programme gives you a shareable live demo prospects can try hands-on — send it in a WhatsApp chat or link it from TikTok so they experience the product before they sign up under you. You can join the QR Code Pro referral programme free in under a minute and start sharing your link today.
