I have some thoughts on this, that I hope could help you:

Your traffic comes easy: Who doesn't want to make a million dollars in no time? But after jumping from your articles, people realize, that this is harder work than they thought. You are not just pushing product - you are asking people to make a career choice. And that is a harder sell.

So make it easy for them to say yes.

Create information products:
- People are initially suspicious: If it is so easy as they say on the sites, why don't you do it? What is the risk for me, if I sign up for this.

- Provide examples from your own experience: People love storytelling and to step in the footsteps of others - at least process wise. When they are familiar with the setup, they will create their own paths.

- Business plan for the first 100 days. What is the time commitment? What is the upside and downside? What must be in place competencewise to be successful (product knowledge, network to sell, other things?)

- Tell your own story in articles: this is how you did it - these are the pitfalls of setting up your own business. Let them know, that you can help.

- Think about building it into your own site instead of Quora. That way you could integrate with your information products more easily.

Good idea to be very open that you are affiliated. That sends a message of honesty. But make the article by itself worth their while, so they leave with something interesting - even if they haven't clicked through to the affiliates.

Best of luck. Let me know, if you want me to clarify any of the suggestions further.

Best regards
