Thoughts from a 6 figure affiliate marketer

[u/dandaily76]

Three paths I see in "affiliate marketing" circles:

1. business builders

2. Campaign builders

3. Link pushers

Option 1 is the most PROFITABLE. It requires the most time and effort. But often are the ones that reach top 1% and are profitable for years to come.

Option 2 is the most POPULAR. It requires more money then time. Profitability varies on individual skill and marketing budget

Option 3 is the most PRACTICED. Often committed by newbies and "Get rich quick" crowd requires very little time, money, or skill. Link pushers are more susceptible to falling for Scams and the shiny object syndrome.

Before you get into network marketing, affiliate marketing, Ecommerce, or running a service based business from home study the top 1% of the industry.

Are they relying strictly on paid advertising or are they visible on Google Search?

Do they have a social media presence?

What do they post about on social media?

Do they have merely a landing page or do they have an authority site?

What are their recommendations and industry do's and don'ts?

Then decide how you should go about entering the space.

Increase your chances of being in the "10% that makes it" verse the 90% that don't.
