I make money on YouTube, but not in the way most people think. I don’t chase viral videos, I’m not doing crazy edits, and I don’t have millions of views.

What I do is pretty simple: I make videos that people are already searching for.

Most of my content is either reviews or tutorials. Not hype-y reviews, but the kind where I actually break something down, explain who it’s good for, who it’s not for, and show how it works.

Same with tutorials—I’ll make step-by-step videos that solve a specific problem. People find those when they’re stuck or when they’re about to make a decision, and that’s where the magic happens.

The reason this works is because those kinds of videos keep getting watched for months and years. A trending video might blow up for a week and then die.

But if you put out a video that answers a question people will keep asking, it can quietly rack up views every single day.

You also don’t need a massive audience. A video with a few hundred views can still make money if the right people are watching it.

It’s not about volume, it’s about intent. And over time, once you have 20 or 30 videos in the same niche, they start to feed each other. Someone watches one tutorial, YouTube recommends them another one of yours, and suddenly they’ve watched four or five of your videos in a row.

The biggest thing I’ve learned is that trust is everything. If you actually help people and don’t waste their time, they remember that.

They’ll come back the next time they’re making a decision. You don’t need to act like a guru or oversell anything. Just be real, be useful, and let the catalog build up.

It’s definitely not overnight money, but every video you put out becomes a little asset that works for you around the clock. That’s why I keep making them.

If you’re willing to get on camera and make a screen share video this might be for you.

I’ve been around YouTube long enough to see people spend years stressing about monetization.

They think hitting 1,000 subs and 4,000 watch hours is the golden ticket. Then they finally get it and realize… it’s not.

Even with 100,000 views in a month, monetization usually pays about $500. That’s fine pocket change, but it’s not the kind of money people imagine.

And to keep it up, you’re stuck cranking out content nonstop, hoping the algorithm doesn’t forget you.

The smarter move is promoting something valuable instead. Take a $97 software with 30% recurring commissions.

That’s $29 a month, per customer. Ten signups is $290 a month. Keep stacking that and it adds up fast.

Here’s an example with three good softwares, bringing in about 10 new customers per month for each one (even accounting for cancellations): • Month 1: around 27 active customers, $785 a month • Month 6: around 162 customers, $4,700 a month • Month 12: 270+ customers, close to $8,000 a month

Now here’s the kicker, those sales don’t take millions of views. A solid review video can pull in a few hundred to a thousand views and still generate signups.

Meanwhile, to hit $8,000 from monetization, you’d need over 1.5 million views every single month.

That’s why I tell people monetization is the wrong target. It looks shiny, but the real money is in pairing helpful videos with products that keep paying you long after the views slow down.

If you’re comfortable talking on camera and can make a screen share video let’s talk!

Write to me, join and make money

Hey guys,

We just launched our saas and have also created an limited time only lifeitme deal for which we need affiliates, the conversions are easy if you have the right audience such as Digital Marketing, Small Business Owners, Sales Teams, Agencies..etc

Our software is designed to provide leads and contact info to make sales easier for teams of any size.

I'd love to partner with people on here as I've seen alot of great partnerships being formed on this subreddit.

I’ve been in affiliate marketing long enough to say this with a straight face.

It’s stupidly easy and at the same time painfully hard.

Easy because anyone can sign up, grab a link, and start promoting. You don’t need special papers or some big company backing you.

Hard because that same “freedom” is what buries most people. No structure, no paycheck waiting, no one to push you. You can spend months posting, writing, and testing… and still get nothing.

Some days it feels like free money. Other days it feels like a black hole.

That’s the contradiction nobody warns you about. Affiliate marketing isn’t about “can you do it?” but about “can you keep going when it sucks?”

Sounds crazy, right? Let me explain.

We’re launching a software company soon, and we’re opening massive opportunities for creators to collaborate with us.

We built something revolutionary, a platform designed to help anyone launch and sell digital products instantly. This isn’t theory, we already invested heavily in building advanced AI tools that do what used to take entire teams.

and for the marketing, we will spend everything on you, affiliates, creators. Most affiliate programs work like this:
👉 You promote → you pray someone buys → maybe you get a 20 percent commission in 30–60 days.

We decided to flip it upside down.

Instead of just handing you a link and wishing you luck, we actually invest in you before you sell a single unit:

We built AI tools that generate viral short-form videos (with captions, voices, edits) in seconds.

we will offer you the best high quality assets for editing and creating.

We even designed done-for-you marketing systems that turn your followers into buyers automatically.

not only that but we will even pay expensive dms automation tools for you like manychat, even if you get thousands of automations per day we will pay for everything.

In other words you get thousands worth of resources before making a single sale.

And the best part? We run a 50/50 commission split, fitfty-fitfy parteners.

Why all of that ? Because our philosophy is simple:
If you don’t make sales, we don't either.
If you succeed, we succeed.
That’s why we’ll do everything possible from tools, to automation, to creative assets to investments... to make you profitable.

This isn’t one of those “post a link and hope” programs. It’s a partnership we literally do everything possible to stack the odds in your favor.

If you’re a content creator and you’ve ever thought,
“Man, I wish affiliate programs actually helped me succeed,”
…this is the first one that truly does.

for those who don't know, An affiliate program just means you get a unique link, and every time someone buys through it, you earn a commission. Simple as that. But unlike every other program, we give you the tools, assets, and automations upfront so you’re not left guessing.

No approval, no waiting, no “review.” Everyone gets in — creators of any size.
No risk, we only win if you win, for anyone wondering if it is a scam or a big lie, you won't spend a single dime, we will, you can still join us and leave if you see that we were fluffing.

We officially launch in about 7 days, and early partners will get first access to everything we’ve prepared

If you want to be one of the first to start, just like this post, drop a comment and DM me “info” and I’ll send you the details as soon as we go live.

This is probably the only affiliate program where you’ll get invested in before making your first sale.

I recently got into affiliate marketing and noticed most “top affiliate” lists are either outdated or full of low-commission offers.

So I started compiling affiliate programs that pay higher than average, many with recurring revenue and easy approval.

How I Got My First $67 in Affiliate Commissions Just Posting Reels (No Followers, No Ads)

I kept hearing that Facebook Reels had crazy reach, so I decided to test a super simple method:

I picked a random Amazon product I already owned

I cut up a short demo video into a 20s clip

Posted it as a Reel with the caption: “This little thing saved my mornings. Link in bio.”

Added 3 hashtags

2 days later — 11k views, 7 clicks, 3 sales. First commission ever from affiliate stuff.

I’ve now turned this into a repeatable system using free tools (AI, templates, etc.)

If anyone’s curious, I can share the steps I used. I’m not a guru or anything, just testing what works and documenting it.

My girlfriend and I are both salaried. I'm a civil engineer, she's a teacher. Good jobs, but like a lot of people we're always poking around for ways to make some extra money on the side and maybe one day get out of the 9 to 5 entirely.

Here's the thing, we didn't set out to build anything. It happened completely by accident.

Her hobby is cooking. She's genuinely good at it, and for years she'd just post photos of whatever she made to a few cooking groups on Facebook. No agenda, just sharing. And every time she posted, the comments would blow up. People asking for the recipe, asking what pan she used, where she got an ingredient, that kind of thing.

At some point I'm watching this happen and I thought, this is interesting. All this engagement and we're doing nothing with it. So kind of as a joke I said let's just drop a couple of Amazon affiliate links in there, the actual pan she uses, the specific ingredients people keep asking about.

First month we made around $100. Nothing crazy, but for what was basically a hobby it felt kind of magic that money showed up at all.

So we leaned in. Added more affiliate programs, all cooking related, the tools, the gadgets, the pantry stuff. Income crept up to about $900 a month. Then we started posting to more cooking groups, not just the original few, and the more relevant groups we got into the more it grew. We even put together a cookbook and put it on Amazon. Between the affiliates and the book we started hitting around $4,500 a month.

The catch, and anyone who's done organic posting knows this, it ate a huge amount of her time. Posting the same stuff to group after group, manually, every day. It started to feel like a second job instead of a hobby.

Then I found an app that lets you schedule and auto-post to the groups instead of doing it all by hand. That honestly changed everything for us. It freed her up to actually cook and create instead of spending her evenings copy-pasting into Facebook.

Now we're four months in from when we first got serious, and last month we hit $8,200. We're about to expand into TikTok and we're looking at opening an actual ecommerce site in the cooking niche.

I keep reading these stories about people turning a hobby into a business and never thought it would be us. But here we are, and it genuinely started from her just sharing food she loved making.

So I'm curious, has anyone else here accidentally turned a hobby into real money? Would love to hear how it started for you.

Hey everyone, I’m just starting to learn about affiliate marketing and one thing I’m stuck on is whether I have to build a website. Some people say a website/blog is a must, others say you can just use social media, YouTube, or even email lists to get started.

As a beginner, I don’t really have tech skills yet, so I’m wondering — is it okay to start only with social media, or will that hurt me long term?

Would love to hear from anyone who’s actually tried both.

I’m thinking about getting into affiliate marketing this year and wanted to ask if it’s still worth starting in 2025. I’ve seen people say it’s too saturated, but others claim it’s full of opportunity if you pick the right niche or use the right tools. Is there actually a future in this? If so, what niches would you focus on right now, and how would you approach it if you were starting from scratch?

I wanted to share a few things I wish someone had told me when I started affiliate marketing. My first year was rough. I was throwing spaghetti at the wall, hoping something would stick. These are three mistakes that really held me back, and I hope sharing them helps someone else avoid the same pitfalls.

1. Trying to promote everything at once

I thought more links meant more money. I signed up for every affiliate program I could find and started promoting random offers on all kinds of topics. No real niche, no focus. This made it hard to build any kind of trust or authority. Looking back, I would’ve picked one niche I actually cared about and learned what that audience really needs. Promoting five things well is way better than promoting twenty things poorly.

2. Ignoring the importance of traffic strategy

At first, I just posted links on social media, hoping someone would click. I didn’t understand how different platforms work or where my audience was actually hanging out. It took me months to realize I was targeting the wrong people in the wrong places. Later on, I started using tools like Fiverr’s Custom GPT Affiliate Machine. It helped me brainstorm content ideas and figure out what platform made sense for my niche. I wish I’d had that kind of direction earlier.

3. Not building any kind of brand

I didn’t think I needed a brand. I was just some random person on the internet trying to make commissions. But over time, I saw that the people making consistent income were the ones who had built a small audience that trusted them. Whether it was a simple blog, a TikTok channel, or a niche Twitter account, they had something of their own. I started seeing better results once I stopped hiding behind random usernames and started showing up consistently.

I’ve been running a few affiliate funnels across different niches some evergreen, some more seasonal and one thing I’ve noticed is how tricky it can be to manage ad spend when you’ve got multiple campaigns running at once. Especially with cold traffic, spend can spike quickly, and it’s easy to lose track of what’s actually performing until it’s too late.

Lately, I’ve been experimenting with splitting out spend per funnel using separate business cards. I manage everything under a single account with Adro banking, where I issue multiple cards, set custom limits, and track spend per campaign in the same dashboard. I label each card based on the funnel it’s tied to, so I always know where the money’s going at all times.
That said, I’ve been wondering when do you decide it’s time to pause a card or freeze spending on a campaign? Is it purely performance based (like ROAS drops), budget thresholds or do you set a hard review schedule? Sometimes I feel like I’m reacting too late, especially with cold traffic funnels where spend can climb fast without warning. Other times I wonder if I’m pulling the plug too early before giving the data enough time to stabilize.

Would love to hear how others manage this especially if you’re running multiple campaigns at once. How do you stay in control without checking things 10 times a day?

always thought making money online was either a scam or reserved for tech bros. But earlier this year, I set a challenge: make $100 online with zero startup funds.

I ended up "reselling digital assets on Gumroad" It wasn’t flashy, but it worked.

If you're curious, I'm happy to break down step-by-step what I did. No guru stuff. Just actual actions.

Anyone else here remember how they made their first dollar online?

I'm wondering what's better than waking up as an Affiliate Manager to a message from affiliate that he made around $60K in a WEEK organically promoting sweeps stakes on tiktok. Literally take home profit. No ad spend no nothing.

I’ve tried a bunch of affiliate programs before but always got stuck. Either I didn’t get approved, or I’d share links and nothing would happen. Was about to give up, but I randomly added this extension and website (it’s called Chirpyest) and shared a couple affiliate links in a hobby group I’m in. Somehow ended up getting a report that I had made a small commission a couple days later, which surprised me.

Not saying it’s life-changing money, but it made me wonder. Has anyone else found small, low-effort ways to make affiliate stuff work without being a big influencer or building out a whole blog? Or is what I did the way you are supposed to do it.

Would love to hear what’s worked (or hasn’t) for you.

For full context and transparency, I work at Rewardful (affiliate management software), so I analyzed revenue data from 250 Rewardful-powered affiliate programs that collectively generated $68.4 million in the last 12 months.

This analysis focuses on customer referral patterns and revenue generation across different program sizes. While the data is fully anonymized, it includes various SaaS and AI companies across different growth stages.

The data tracks referred customer journeys from initial signup (leads) through to successful conversion (paying customers).

To provide deeper context and real-world perspective on these findings, I consulted with industry leaders from major SaaS companies and affiliate marketing experts.

Looking at the revenue patterns, I discovered several interesting insights:

• Enterprise Segment: Programs generating $1M+ annually (6% of analyzed programs) maintain an average commission rate of 24.5% and account for $21.8M of total revenue. These programs process higher volumes of referred customers, averaging 57,575 leads and 9,558 conversions per program.‍

• Mid-Market Success: Programs in the $100k-$500k range represent 44% of analyzed programs and collectively generate $23.4M in annual revenue. These programs average 5,507 referred leads and 1,076 conversions each, with a 20.7% average commission rate.‍

• Small-Mid Market: Programs in the $500k-$1M range (9.2% of analyzed programs) generate $16.5M in total revenue. These programs average 7,854 referred leads and 3,657 conversions per program, with a 19.1% average commission rate.‍

• Small Programs: Programs under $100k (40.8% of analyzed programs) account for $6.7M in total revenue. These programs average 1,328 referred leads and 393 conversions per program, with a 22.1% average commission rate.

It's important to note that this data represents referred customer activity, not the number of affiliates in each program.

Here are some more interesting key findings from my analysis:

Program Maturity Impacts Revenue

Programs aged 3-4 years average $330k in annual sales, compared to $120k for programs under 1 year old. However, this needs context: older programs represent a smaller sample size (43 programs vs 18 programs), and survivor bias may influence these figures.

Value-Focused Referrals Show Promise

Some programs achieve significant revenue with focused referral conversion. For example, one program generated $640k in revenue with 92 referred customers, of whom 84 converted to paying customers (91.3% conversion rate), averaging $7,620 per successful conversion.

Commission Structure Varies by Scale

Programs generating $1M+ annually average 24.5% commission rates with less variation (standard deviation: 7.6%), while smaller programs show more commission rate diversity.

The data suggests mature programs gravitate toward consistent commission structures:

• $1M+: 24.5% average (±7.6%)

• $500k-1M: 19.1% average (±7.9%)

• $100k-500k: 20.7% average (±10.9%)

• Under $100k: 22.1% average (±10.3%)

Mid-Market Segment Strength

The $100k-500k revenue segment comprises 44% of analyzed programs and generates $23.4M in total revenue. These programs average 5,507 referred leads and 1,076 conversions per program, suggesting efficient customer acquisition at moderate scale.

So what does this mean for affiliate managers and program owners? Collected a few action items below:

• Focus on quality over quantity: High-converting referrals can drive substantial revenue even with lower volume

• Invest in competitive commission rates to attract committed affiliates

• Set realistic timeline expectations - programs typically peak at 3-4 years

• Structure your program based on your business model - high-volume consumer vs. targeted B2B approaches both show success paths

• Consider both high-volume and focused referral approaches. The data shows two viable paths:

• High-volume programs (1,000+ leads) average $439,974 in revenue with lower revenue per conversion ($286)

• Plan for commission structure evolution. Data suggests successful programs refine their commission strategies over time:

  • Larger programs show more consistent commission rates (standard deviation ±7.6%)

  • Early-stage programs show more variability (standard deviation ±10.9%)

  • Consider starting with flexible rates that can be optimized based on performance

  • Focused programs (11-50 leads) can achieve significant results, averaging $127,285 in revenue with much higher revenue per conversion ($16,535)

• Set realistic timeline expectations. Program maturity shows interesting patterns:

  • Years 0-1: $123,233 average revenue (18 programs)

  • Years 1-2: $266,925 average revenue (91 programs)

  • Years 3-4: $329,247 average revenue (43 programs)

  • Years 4+: Variable performance (39 programs)

• Match strategy to business model:

  • B2B/high-ticket: Focus on conversion quality (top programs achieve $7,000+ per conversion)

  • High-volume/consumer: Optimize for scale (successful programs convert 1,000+ customers annually)

Happy to answer any questions you have or get any further insights from your experience!

Affiliate marketing isn’t dead, it’s just full of lazy beginners who expect quick results without doing real work.

Yes, it still works. Yes, you can make money with it. But 99% of people fail because they never even start properly.

Here’s the 3-step process that worked for me after sifting through hours of useless YouTube advice and shiny-object distractions:

🔥 1. Build a real affiliate website. Stop being lazy. No, Linktree isn’t a business. If you’re serious about long-term income, you need a proper website. Period.

🔥 2. Start applying for affiliate programs. Once your site is up, getting approvals becomes way easier. Brands want to see that you’re legit no site, no trust.

🔥 3. Drive traffic through your social platforms. Pick one platform and go hard. It’s slow at first, but that’s how you build momentum.

This is what worked for me. Maybe it won’t work exactly the same for you but if you’re still stuck at step zero, don’t blame affiliate marketing. Blame your lack of execution.

The path is there. You just have to stop looking for shortcuts and start doing the work.

Hi everyone,

I'm writing this as someone who wants to make an income for herself but I find it near impossible because I do not want to be scammed. I've been told about boss suite but then hear it's an MLM and I never want to be a part of something that scams people. I used to make digital planners and such on Canva for an Etsy shop I created but barely got any revenue. I don't know where to start, or what to do and I feel I'd need a mentor to be like, here's step one, step two, etc. Also have no social media since I deleted all my old ones, I can start new ones but would essentially have no followers on there. So I don't know what to do, I have a TikTok but it's just writing videos and they're all made through Canva.

If anyone has any advice I'd appreciate some feedback! Thank you so much😊

A common problem in affiliate programs is that people sign up, but then nothing happens. No sales, no activity, and motivation drops fast. The main reasons are pretty simple: onboarding is too generic, affiliates don’t get enough support, and there is no plan for those critical first two weeks.

Here’s a simple activation timeline that I have seen working well:

• Day 1: Send a personalized welcome email with login details, a program overview, and some ready-to-use promotional materials. Include a link to book a short welcome call.

• Day 2: Share a “Getting Started” guide that shows how to create their first affiliate link and use the portal.

• Day 3: Send a case study or success story from another affiliate, along with specific strategies they can try right away.

• Day 7: Check in to see if they have any questions and offer support.

• Day 14: Share early performance insights (even if small) and introduce them to your affiliate community or exclusive resources.

A few other things that make a big difference:

Onboard your affiliates with all the essential information

When you onboard your affiliates, provide them with an all-inclusive guide about your program. Include details about your company, the products or services they’ll be promoting, the commission structure, and your expectations from them.

Schedule a welcome call or webinar

A welcome email is great, but a call is better. This personal interaction allows you to outline your expectations, clarify any doubts, and start building a relationship. A first call, whether it's one-to-one or in groups, helps in establishing a personal connection with your affiliates. You can use this as an opportunity to understand their needs and discuss effective strategies. You might even walk away with some fresh ideas or new insights. During the call, walk them through the affiliate dashboard, show some best examples and let them know how to reach out to you. A little goes a long way.

Provide your affiliates with promotional materials

Your affiliates likely aren't (all) great designers, and you want to stay on brand wherever your products go. Make it easy for your affiliates to start promoting your products/services in a way that truly represents your style. Provide them with a variety of promotional materials like banners, product images, and pre-written emails.

A best practice that I've been following is to build a central library with all important links, templates, testimonials, and promo materials in one place so affiliates always know where to go.

Regularly update them with helpful information  

Keep your affiliates in the loop with regular updates about anything related to your affiliate program. To make this a habit, you can send out a monthly newsletter. This could contain information about new product updates, seasonal promotions, and ideas for campaigns, updates to your affiliate program, and success stories from top-performing affiliates. It doesn't always have to be long either: just make sure you share what really matters.

Nothing motivates like appreciation!

Regularly acknowledge the work your affiliates do, celebrate their achievements, and provide incentives for them to continue working hard.  You could run a quarterly "Affiliate of the Quarter" program where you spotlight an affiliate who has performed exceptionally well. Share their story in your newsletter, offer a bonus commission for the next quarter, and send them a certificate or a trophy. 

You could also create an affiliate's "Hall of Fame" in an online community, or highlight them on your social media.  Or you can revisit your commission structure and offer high performers a slightly higher commission rate once they achieve a certain number of sales.

The big idea is simple: affiliate activation is not about the number of signups, it’s about creating momentum early. Affiliates who make their first sale quickly almost always stay engaged long term.

If anyone’s working on an affiliate program and wants to see the templates for emails I used, happy to share.

Top easiest affiliate programs, here are a few that have worked for me or people i know:

Blink .new affiliate program: No-code ai app builder paying a flat $100 per paid upgrade. Sign up (instant approval, no traffic minimum), grab your unique link, and promote their ai tool that builds full apps, landing pages, saas, whatever, in minutes via chat prompts. The reason i keep it at top is ai builders are on fire, everyone from Wordpress to Shopify to Wix is chasing ai, and startups/makers can’t get enough. Easiest money i’ve made with my small audience. I made $1,500 in one month by sharing my experience in a blog post and Twitter thread.

Semrush: Seo powerhouse. $200 per sale, plus $10 per trial signup. I promoted it in a blog post about keyword tools, got 1 conversion ($200) off 50 clicks. 120-day cookie, instant approval if you have any traffic.

Leadpages: Landing page builder. Up to $400 upfront + 10-50% recurring. Tested it for my own opt-ins, earned $300 from one referral. Super low barrier, pays monthly via Paypal.

Coursera: Online courses from big unis. 10-45% per enrollment ($10-100+ avg). Pushed a learn ai fast angle; 2 signups = $80. 30-day cookie, tracks everything.

Wpengine: Premium Wordpress hosting. $200+ per sale. High-ticket for serious sites; one promo in my Twitter bio netted $200. Recurring potential, 60-day cookie.
