r/Affiliatemarketing covers affiliate and performance marketing — traffic sources, offers, tracking, and conversion. The audience is results-obsessed and metrics-literate.

Affiliate marketers and performance-focused operators, from beginners to full-time earners.

Community size

~250k members — a mid-size community. Use it as a niche-tier sub: lower volume, higher hit rate per thread.

Using r/Affiliatemarketing for lead generation

A niche sub for tracking, traffic, content, and SEO tools. Skepticism is high and scams are common, so credibility and specifics matter more here than almost anywhere else.

Buying signals to watch for
  • "Best tracking/traffic tool" threads
  • "How do I scale [channel]" posts
  • Content and SEO tool questions for affiliate sites
  • "[Tool] worth it?" evaluation threads
Self-promotion rules

Heavily promoted and heavily distrusted. Prove value with specifics; vague pitches are dismissed.

r/Affiliatemarketing community rules

The 8 rules r/Affiliatemarketing moderators enforce, summarised from the subreddit’s official rules page (June 2026). Read them before you post or reply — rules change, so confirm the current rules on Reddit.

  1. 01

    Karma Minimum

    Users must have at least 250 karma to post in this subreddit. Also, you must become a member of the sub to post or comment. See rule number 6.

  2. 02

    You must join the sub to post or comment

    In order to cut down on spam and scammers, you must become a member of the sub to post or comment. Many people seem to come to the sub to TAKE rather than give. We often get people posting listicles or guides or making claims of income, but if they were the experts they claim to be, they would be members of the sub. To post or comment, please click the join button before posting. The only requirement is you must have 250 karma to join. This, once again, is to foil the bots.

  3. 03

    Affiliate offers and Tools

Use the sticky thread, *POST YOUR OFFER IN THE STICKY THREAD AS A COMMENT. *TAG IT WITH THE AFFILIATE OFFER FLAIR. *MUST CONTAIN A BRIEF DESCRIPTION AND LINK BOTH TO THE INFORMATION PAGE AND THE SIGN UP PAGE. *MUST BE A SPECIFIC OFFER.
