Hello everyone! I was just thinking about creating an amazon affiliate website and wondered whether or not its a good idea to promote the chosen products via Facebook direct messaging? For example I join a group full of dog lovers and start messaging everyone with my sales script promoting products associated with this niche? Will it convert well?

Sounds like something that might get your Facebook account banned because I think most people will be wise to that. Why not work on building your Facebook page, posting useful content, interacting with people that reply, inviting users to like your page etc. And then use that as a way of driving legit traffic to your website?

Especially as you mentioned affiliate website, that should really be your primary focus - building targeted traffic to the site through social media, organic search and so on.

Personally I would say that you want to make 60-70 percent of your content non-promotional. Thats mainly from personal experience I know that if a page only posts promotional stuff then a) from a visitors point of view it looks like junk and b) looking from the other side I often see engagement fall.
