Write viral social media posts that promote affiliate products naturally. Use this skill when the user asks anything about writing social media content for affiliate marketing, creating posts for LinkedIn/X/Reddit/Facebook, promoting a product on social media, writing affiliate content, or mentions "viral post", "social media post", "content for affiliate". Also trigger for: "write a post about X", "help me promote X on LinkedIn", "create a thread about X", "make a Reddit post for X", "draft tweets for X", "social media content for affiliate program", "how to promote X on social", "write something that goes viral", "LinkedIn post for affiliate", "X thread about this tool", "help me sell X naturally on social media".
Write high-converting social media posts that promote affiliate products without feeling salesy. Each post uses proven viral frameworks, is tailored to the target platform, and includes proper FTC disclosure.
Stage
This skill belongs to Stage S2: Content
When to Use
User wants to promote an affiliate product on social media
User asks for LinkedIn posts, X/Twitter threads, Reddit posts, or Facebook posts
User has picked a program (from S1 or manually) and needs content
User wants "viral" or "engaging" social media content for affiliate marketing
User asks how to naturally promote a product on a specific platform
Input Schema
{
product: { # (required) Product to promote — from S1 output or user-provided
name: string # "HeyGen"
description: string # What the product does (1-2 sentences)
reward_value: string # "30%" (for context — never shown in post)
url: string # Product website or affiliate link
}
platform: string # (required) "linkedin" | "x" | "reddit" | "facebook" | "all"
angle: string # (optional, default: auto-selected) Content angle — see Viral Frameworks
tone: string # (optional, default: "conversational") "conversational" | "professional" | "casual" | "storytelling"
audience: string # (optional, default: inferred from platform) Target audience description
personal_experience: string # (optional) User's real experience with the product — makes content authentic
cta_style: string # (optional, default: "soft") "soft" | "direct" | "question"
}
Workflow
Step 1: Gather Context
If not clear from conversation:
What product are they promoting? (Check if S1 ran earlier — use recommended_program from context)
Which platform? (If "all", generate for LinkedIn + X + Reddit)
Any personal experience with the product? (Authentic stories convert 3-5x better)
If user just says "write a post for HeyGen" → default to LinkedIn, conversational tone, soft CTA.
If product details are missing, use web_search "[product name] features pricing" to research.
Step 2: Research the Product
Even if product info is provided, do a quick web_search to find:
Recent product updates or launches (recency = virality)
Common pain points the product solves (hook material)
Competitor comparisons (contrast = engagement)
Real user testimonials or reviews (social proof)
Extract 2-3 — exact numbers, real features, concrete use cases. Generic "this tool is amazing" posts don't go viral.
specific details
Step 2.5: Research Winning Formats (data-driven)
Before picking a framework, check what's already working for this topic:
If trending-content-scout or content-angle-ranker ran earlier:
Use pattern_analysis.winning_formats → pick the format with highest engagement
Use pattern_analysis.winning_hooks → pick the hook style backed by data
Use engagement_benchmark → know what "good" looks like for this keyword
If content-angle-ranker provided a recommended_angle → use it as the angle
If no scout data available (quick mode):
web_search "[product name] review site:linkedin.com" → check top LinkedIn posts
web_search "[product name] site:x.com" → check top tweets
Look for: post length, format (story vs list vs question), engagement signals visible in snippets
Estimate which format works best on target platform
Apply findings to framework selection:
Data > intuition. If comparisons get 2x engagement vs reviews in this niche, write a comparison
If bold_claim hooks dominate top content → use a bold claim hook, even if you'd normally use a question
If the engagement_benchmark.top_10_percent_threshold is known → set that as the target to beat
This step takes <2 minutes but significantly increases the odds of creating content that
performs above the benchmark rather than below it.
Step 3: Pick the Viral Framework
Select from references/viral-frameworks.md based on product + platform + angle.
If user specified an angle, use that framework. Otherwise, auto-select:
Platform
Best Default Framework
LinkedIn
Transformation Story or Contrarian Take
X
Thread (Problem → Solution) or Hot Take
Reddit
Genuine Recommendation or Problem-Solve
Facebook
Before/After or Listicle
Step 4: Write the Post
Apply the selected framework from references/viral-frameworks.md.
Critical rules:
Hook in first line — reader decides in 1.5 seconds whether to keep reading
Specific > generic — "saved 4 hours/week on video editing" beats "great tool"
Story > pitch — wrap the recommendation in a narrative or discovery
Platform-native format — see references/platform-specs.md for formatting rules
One CTA only — don't overwhelm. One clear next step
FTC compliance — include disclosure per shared/references/ftc-compliance.md placement rules
Never do:
Start with "I'm excited to share..." (LinkedIn death sentence)
Use "game-changer", "revolutionary", "hands down the best" (empty superlatives)
Put the link in the main post body on LinkedIn (algorithm penalty)
Hard-sell in the first sentence
Mention commission rates or that you're an affiliate (FTC requires disclosure, not details)
Include "Powered by Affitor" branding (see shared/references/affitor-branding.md)
Step 5: Add FTC Disclosure
Per platform (from shared/references/ftc-compliance.md):
LinkedIn: "#ad | Affiliate link" at the end of the post body
X: "#ad" in the tweet containing the link (usually last tweet in thread)
Reddit: "Full disclosure: affiliate link" at the bottom
Facebook: "#ad | Affiliate link" at the end
Step 6: Format Output
Present the post ready to copy-paste. Include:
The post content (formatted for the platform)
Where to place the affiliate link
Best time to post (platform-specific)
2-3 engagement tips for the specific platform
Step 7: Self-Validation
Before presenting output, verify:
FTC disclosure present and correctly placed per platform rules
Hook is within platform character cutoff (LinkedIn: 210 chars)
No banned phrases: "game-changer", "revolutionary", "I'm excited to share"
Affiliate link NOT in LinkedIn post body (first comment instead)
Single CTA only — not multiple competing calls to action
No "Powered by Affitor" branding (social posts = no branding)
If any check fails, fix the output before delivering. Do not flag the checklist to the user — just ensure the output passes.

When platform = "all", generate separate sections for LinkedIn, X, and Reddit.
Error Handling
No product info: Ask the user what product they want to promote. Suggest running affiliate-program-search first.
Unknown platform: Default to LinkedIn. Mention available platforms.
No personal experience: Generate research-based content. Flag that personal stories convert better and suggest the user adds their own experience.
Product has no public info: Use web_search to find product details. If truly nothing found, ask user to describe the product.
Controversial product: If the product has significant negative reviews or ethical concerns, flag this to the user and suggest adjusting the angle.
Examples
Example 1:
User: "Write a LinkedIn post promoting HeyGen"
→ Research HeyGen (AI video, 30% recurring, 60-day cookie)
→ Select "Transformation Story" framework for LinkedIn
→ Write: hook about video creation pain → discovered HeyGen → specific result → soft CTA
→ Link in first comment, FTC disclosure in post body
Example 2:
User: "Create an X thread about Semrush for SEO marketers"
→ Research Semrush features + recent updates
→ Select "Thread: Problem → Solution" framework
→ Write: 5-7 tweet thread, hook → pain points → how Semrush solves each → results → CTA in last tweet
→ FTC "#ad" in the tweet with the link
Example 3:
User: "I've been using Notion for 2 years, help me write a Reddit post"
→ Use personal experience as the core (authenticity = Reddit gold)
→ Select "Genuine Recommendation" framework
→ Write: problem context → how they discovered Notion → specific workflows → natural mention
→ "Full disclosure: affiliate link" at bottom
→ Recommend posting in r/productivity or r/Notion
Example 4:
User: "Promote GetResponse on all platforms"
→ Research GetResponse (email marketing, 33% recurring)
→ Generate 3 posts: LinkedIn (Transformation Story), X (Thread), Reddit (Genuine Recommendation)
→ Each tailored to platform format, audience, and link rules

Revenue potential: A well-crafted social post drives 50-500 affiliate link clicks. At 2-3% conversion and $50 avg commission = $50-750 per post. Viral posts (10x average engagement) can drive $1,000+ in a single day
Benchmark: Consistent posters (5x/week) report $300-1,500/month in affiliate revenue from social media alone. The first $100 comes from your 20th-30th post, not your first
Key metric to track: Affiliate link clicks per post. Use UTM parameters: ?utm_source=[platform]&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=[post_date]
Do This Right Now (15 min)
Post it NOW — the content is ready, don't overthink
If LinkedIn: put the affiliate link as the FIRST COMMENT immediately after posting
If X: pin the thread or tweet to your profile for maximum visibility
Engage with the first 5 comments within 30 minutes — early engagement signals boost reach 3-5x
Track Your Results
After 24 hours: how many affiliate link clicks? After 7 days: any commissions attributed? The winning formula is: post → measure → repeat what works → ignore what doesn't.
