Is it worth creating a separate Facebook page for affiliate marketing/content creation?

Hey y’all! I’m fairly new to affiliate marketing and would love some advice from those who have been doing it for a while!

I currently have a personal Facebook profile that is monetized with a few thousand followers. I occasionally share affiliate links and actually do pretty well with them considering I’m still a beginner!

I’ve been considering creating a separate Facebook page specifically for affiliate marketing, product recommendations, and content creation. My biggest hesitation with continuing to post on my personal profile is that I don’t want to constantly bombard my friends and family with links.

For those of you who have experience with this, would you recommend starting a separate page and building an audience specifically interested in that type of content? Or would it make more sense to continue growing my personal profile since I already have an established following?

I’m also curious if anyone has made the switch and noticed better engagement, reach, or earnings.

I’d love to hear your experiences and opinions!

I'd add two things to the naming debate. First, name the page after what people get from it, not after you. A clear topic plus a word like finds or picks works. People follow for the benefit, and it makes the page easier to find when someone searches.

Second, don't launch it empty. Post eight to ten things first, each with a photo, your honest opinion and who it suits, and only then tell your profile followers about it. A bare link looks like spam, while a short review looks like help.

Also say plainly when a link is an affiliate link. Platforms and advertising rules expect it, and followers trust you more when you're upfront.

Keep your profile going while the page grows. You don't have to pick one.

I started a separate page for exactly that reason and it was the best move I made for my own sanity. your friends and family are probably already clicking out of politeness, not because they’re actually in the market for that stuff, and that wears thin quick

building a page from scratch is slower but the people who follow are actually interested, so the engagement and trust are way better in the long run. I saw a noticeable difference in conversion rates once I made the switch

the trick is to cross-promote a little on your personal profile when you launch, just a casual “hey if you’re into this kind of thing I started a page” and then let the algorithm do its thing

I'd start a separate Page, but keep the profile that's already bringing affiliate sales. Put the product recommendations on the Page and mention it once on your profile so interested people can move over. Use separate tracking links and compare clicks and sales for four weeks before shifting your effort.

Just do it mate، link it with an instagram p4ofile as well for crossposting...

You don’t need to choose between your name and a brand name: “Katie [topic]” or a short, distinctive brand can make the Page easier to tell apart while still feeling personal. I’d keep your monetized profile active, try the Page with a clear niche and a few posts, then compare which one brings in genuinely interested followers and sales. A Page name won’t solve the audience overlap by itself, so mention it once on your profile and let people opt in.

How do you guys find trending sounds, edits and content ideas?

Hey guys, just curious how you all keep up with trends on TikTok and Instagram? I'm talking trending sounds, cool transitions, editing styles, viral formats, UGC ideas etc. Do you use any specific websites, tools or accounts to find this stuff? Or is it literally just scrolling through TikTok and Reels until you find something? Trying to find a better way to spot trends early rather than when everyone's already doing them lol.

I’ve worked in social/content for a few years now, and the biggest thing I’ve noticed recently is this

A lot of marketers are still making content for the version of social media that existed 4 years ago. Polished graphics. Perfect branding. Overplanned content calendars. Safe hooks. And then they wonder why nobody watches. Meanwhile the creators growing fastest are filming in their car, reacting to something they saw 10 minutes ago, and pulling 500k+ views with barely any editing. The gap between “professional looking” content and effective content has never been bigger. One thing that completely changed how I approach content was studying creators that are actively breaking through not the already famous ones with massive built in audiences. And once you start analyzing enough breakout posts, certain patterns become painfully obvious. Most viral content feels immediate. Not overproduced. Not corporate. Not “approved by 4 people in Slack.” Immediate. It feels like a real opinion, a real reaction, a real observation, a real emotion. That’s why reaction style content works so well right now. A contractor reacting to bad renovation videos. A fitness coach reacting to terrible workout advice. A marketer reacting to cringe ad campaigns. People don’t just want information anymore. They want perspective. Another thing I’ve noticed: most creators waste energy trying to be everywhere at once. TikTok. Reels. YouTube Shorts. LinkedIn. X. And they end up building nothing anywhere. The creators growing fastest usually dominate one format first. Because every platform rewards people who deeply understand pacing, hooks, audience behavior, and native style. You don’t learn that by spreading yourself thin. Also, almost nobody has a content creation problem anymore. They have a research problem. There’s already an insane amount of winning content patterns out there. The problem is most people study random viral posts, copy huge creators too late, chase trends after they peak, and miss why something actually worked. The fix is boring but it works: track creators suddenly blowing up, spot hooks repeating across platforms, notice formats migrating from TikTok to Reels to Shorts, and catch content styles gaining momentum before saturation. I’ve been using SHunt for exactly this. Not for inspiration just to see what’s gaining traction before it peaks. Once you see enough breakout content, you realize virality is way more pattern based than most people think.

I spent a year building a social platform around polling. Curious what people think of the concept.

I’ve spent the past year building Pollzy, a social platform where people swipe through polls, vote, see what others think, and discover people based on shared opinions. I recently launched it after building everything solo, and I’m now facing the challenge of getting people to actually use a new social platform. I’m curious what this community thinks. Does a polling-first social network have potential? Would genuinely appreciate some critical feedback.

How do you handle resuming scheduled posts after a crisis pause?

I'm a product designer trying to understand a part of social media work that doesn't get talked about much. Most tools (Sprinklr, Hootsuite, Sprout, etc.) let you pause or suspend all scheduled posts when something happens: a tragedy, an outage, a brand issue. I'm curious about the other end of it. When it's time to resume, what actually happens? Is it quick, or does it take real work to sort out what still makes sense to post? Who decides what goes back out: you, the client/brand, legal, someone else? If you work agency-side with multiple clients or markets, does that change things? Ps: Not selling anything or promoting a tool. Just trying to learn how this works in practice. Any experience helps, including "it's honestly no big deal.
