A good way to test affiliate offers on Instagram is by starting with small posts and stories to see how people respond. You can create a few simple reels or image posts that focus on one benefit of the product and add a short caption. Use a clear call to action, like telling people to check the link in your bio. Instagram Stories with polls or questions also help you see what catches attention. You don’t need to spend money at first—just check which posts get more likes, shares, or replies. If one type of post brings more clicks, that’s a good sign to create more like it. Make sure your content looks real and not too salesy. If people feel like you're only trying to sell, they may ignore the post. Has anyone tried using Instagram in a different way to test products before running ads or doing paid promotions?
