In short: Don't. Not how you describe.
Answering a question with a good and detailed post, with a link to your website (remember to disclose your affiliation) to support what you've posted is okay once in a while. If you go on a "spamming spree", however, and post 5 low-quality (e.g. link-only) answers with links to your website in an hour, your posts will be flagged as spam and deleted. Stack Exchange is not the place to blatantly promote your website with disregard for the rules concerning affiliate links. To support what I've written, here's a link to how not to be a spammer, from the Stack Exchange Help Center and with no affiliation whatsoever.

2If every answer you submit has a link to your own website, that’s spam, when Ollie says “once in awhile” they truly mean it to be the exception. We want content here, not on your website, and hopefully original content– RamhoundCommented Feb 5, 2022 at 16:09
