1) Include your affiliate link in your LinkTree or on your website.

If you haven't already, it's smart to include your affiliate link anywhere you can.

Your LinkTree, your homepage under the tools you use, your blog sidebar, all of your YouTube descriptions, etc.

2) Create tutorials on YouTube based on high-performing content.

Note-taking, productivity, and second brain content works.

If you want a proven path to growing an audience and monetizing it, research high-performing content about:

• Productivity systems
• Writing or content creation systems
• Second brain systems
• Notion, Obsidian, or other note-taking tutorials

Then, recreate it with Kortex. You can talk about the exact same topics – which means you are more likely to get traffic – by using Kortex as the main example instead of something else.

If you use Kortex for a specific purpose, teaching that is a great way to start.

3) Create social media content and plug your link.

This is the most accessible option for people.

In short, create content on:

• Writing
• Productivity
• Your favorite software or tools
• Knowledge management and note-taking
• Whatever you use Kortex for yourself (like writing content, emails, or YouTube scripts)

Then, plug your link at a relevant time.

On X, Threads, or LinkedIn you probably want to wait an hour or two, then write a short call to action and plug your link under the original post as a comment.

It can be as simple as:

"This is what I use to capture and organize all of my ideas and writing." With your affiliate link after.

On something like Instagram, it's easier to show your setup in Kortex and add a link to your story.

4) Create free downloads for your audience.

You can either:

• Link to Kortex in a free course, ebook, or training. Like if your free download is "How I organize ideas."
• Give people Kortex templates as your free download.
• Or, eventually, you will be able to give users access to an entire workspace as a product or download.

If you don't know how or where to host a free download, you can:

1. Use a platform like Stan that allows you to create free or paid products and sell them. They have built in landing pages to link your audience to for the download.
2. Use an email software like Beehiiv or Convertkit and send them a link to your free download when they join your list. You can simply include the link in your welcome email.

Now, the more people that download your free product the more people see your affiliate link.

5) Write articles or newsletters and plug your link.

The thing with something like Kortex is that you can always find a way to bake in your link. If you talk about productivity, you can subtly slip in "Here's what I use to plan my days" and include a template if you feel like it.

Whenever you mention something that can be related to Kortex, you can plug your link as a tool you use.

6) Build a course and use Kortex to offer templates.

Many people use Notion to provide templates for the courses they build, but they're often bloated and confusing – people don't use the templates after a certain amount of time.

And, other note-taking software don't offer affiliate links. You might as well make a supplemental income to your courses by promoting your link.

You can either recreate videos for your current course to surprise your students with a course update, or create a course on writing, productivity, note-taking, content creation, or whatever else you use Kortex for.

7) Create viral content about the app and send people to your link.

We aren't TikTok marketing experts, but some affiliates do incredibly well by making relatable videos that subtly show off the Kortex app.

Videos like:

• "I can't believe I've been writing in Notion for so long, check this out…"
• "Okay, I've been sending myself text messages to remember ideas, but I found Kortex and it does it better."

Things like that. Videos where you showcase the pain points Kortex solves, the benefits of using it, and the every day use case you use it for.

In those videos, you can tell people to go to the link in your bio to try it out.

The more authentic and real this seems, the better for conversions.
