Use Video to Turn Affiliate Links into Commissions in Ghana
Ghanaians love video, from YouTube tutorials to WhatsApp status clips. It’s how people stay informed, entertained, and make buying decisions. If you’re not using video affiliate marketing, you’re missing out on one of the most effective ways to build trust and drive sales.
As a HOSTAFRICA affiliate, video content gives you a powerful tool to explain complex services like web hosting, recommend products authentically, and turn clicks into commissions. And the best part? You don’t need expensive gear to get started, just your smartphone, good lighting, and a simple script.
Why Video Works So Well for Affiliate Marketing in Ghana
There’s a reason Ghanaian YouTubers and creators are seeing more engagement than ever, video is personal, visual, and trusted. Here’s why it converts so well:
- YouTube is one of the top platforms used in Ghana (Statista Ghana, 2024).
- Videos show your face and voice — helping your audience trust you.
- Complex topics like hosting are easier to explain with a screen recording.
- One video can be repurposed across TikTok, Instagram Reels, WhatsApp, and Facebook.
- Video improves SEO visibility on both Google and YouTube.
Whether you’re a student, freelancer, or blogger, video is a proven affiliate content strategy — especially when promoting services like HOSTAFRICA.

- Natural light from a window

Record a screen share, talk directly to your phone, or even combine slides with voice overs. The key is to focus on value, not perfection.
