You could definitely try running multiple social media accounts for affiliate marketing or automating ad-watching apps since you already have the hardware. Just be careful with the platform terms so your devices don't get banned and all your hard work goes to waste

Anyone want to partner on email marketing and peptides? Can be commission only affiliate or a paid monthly thing. Would love some data on what you're doing and how to partner.

It depends on the niche. Most people in media-heavy platforms just scroll through content and avoid checking links. So, try affiliate marketing and see how much of this traffic actually converts. If it's targetted traffic for a micro-niche, you can drive traffic to your e-commerce website and sell products.

I'm very eager to start affiliate marketing so if you could start it over again what would you exactly start with? and what are some things most people overlook when starting with affiliate marketing. I'd be glad to hear all your suggestions and advice. submitted by /u/SeaComfort5279 to r/AffiliateMarket [link] [comments]

I am new to affiliate marketing, but have passion to start (; submitted by /u/Both-Notice-6923 to r/Affiliate [link] [comments]

I'm gonna save some of you months of wasted effort. Between 2024 and now I tried basically everything this sub recommends. Dropshipping, print on demand, affiliate blogs, YouTube automation, crypto staking, selling courses, selling templates, KDP books, Etsy digital products, stock photography, and a few I'm probably forgetting. I tracked every single one. Hours spent, money in, money out. No rounding up, no "potential revenue," just actual dollars that hit my bank account. Here's the honest breakdown. COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME Dropshipping. Spent about $2,400 on ads and product testing over 4 months. Made $900 in revenue. Net loss of $1,500 not counting the 200+ hours. The margins are a lie unless you find a winning product fast and most people never do. Every guru showing Shopify dashboards is selling you the course, not the method. YouTube automation. Hired freelancers to make faceless videos. Spent $3,000 on editors and voiceover. Channel got monetized after 8 months. Monthly revenue settled at about $120. Would take 2 years to break even. Cancelled everything. Stock photography. Uploaded 300+ photos to multiple platforms over 6 months. Total earnings after a year: $47. The market is flooded and AI image generators killed whatever was left. Affiliate blog. Wrote 60 articles targeting low competition keywords. Got decent traffic after 6 months. Made $400 total in affiliate commissions over a year. Then a Google update wiped half my traffic overnight. Never recovered. BROKE EVEN (not worth the effort) Print on demand. Made about $2,200 over 8 months on Redbubble and Merch by Amazon. But I spent easily 300 hours on designs, listings, and keyword research. That's roughly $7/hour. Minimum wage is better and you don't have to stare at Canva. KDP low content books. Published 15 journals and planners. Made about $800 over a year. Most of it came from 2 books. The other 13 made almost nothing. The winners were ultra specific. The losers were generic. Crypto staking. Put $5,000 in various staking protocols. Made about $600 in a year in staking rewards. But the tokens I staked dropped 30% in value. Net loss when you factor in the price decline. "Passive income" that loses money isn't passive income. ACTUALLY WORKED Etsy digital products (specific ones). This is the only thing that consistently made money relative to the time invested. But here's what nobody tells you: 90% of digital products on Etsy make zero sales. The ones that work are insanely specific. My first 8 products were generic. Meal planners, budget trackers, habit journals. Total sales in 3 months: 4 units, about $30. Then I made a symptom tracker specifically for people with Hashimoto's thyroid disease. Sold 12 units in the first month at $17 each. Made another one for IBS meal planning with FODMAP categories. Sold 8 units first month. The difference was not the design, not the price, not the SEO. It was that when someone with Hashimoto's searched Etsy and found a product made specifically for their condition, they bought it immediately because nothing else existed. I now have 6 products in specific health and parenting niches. Monthly revenue is between $400 and $700 depending on the month. Time spent maintaining: about 2 hours a month updating tags and responding to the occasional message. That's the closest thing to actual passive income I've found. WHAT I LEARNED The stuff that works has three things in common. First, low creation time relative to revenue. If it takes 100 hours to make and earns $500 a year, you lost. If it takes 5 hours and earns $200 a year, you won. Second, a specific audience that feels underserved. Generic products compete with 50,000 listings. Specific products compete with 3. The math is obvious but most people still make generic stuff because it feels safer. Third, a platform with built in traffic. Etsy, Amazon, Gumroad. You don't need followers, you don't need ads, you don't need a personal brand. The platform brings the buyers. You just need to be there when they search. The biggest lie in the passive income space is that you need to "scale." You don't. Six products making $80 a month each is $480/month for basically zero ongoing work. That's not life changing money but it's real money that shows up every month without you doing anything. And you can build that in a few weekends if you pick the right niches. Stop trying to build the next big thing. Find 5 specific problems that specific people have and make a simple structured product that solves each one. That's it. That's the whole strategy. What's worked for you guys? Curious if anyone else landed on the same conclusion or found something different. submitted by /u/Existing-Ice221 to r/passive_income [link] [comments]

I have been looking into it and it feels a bit overwhelming with all the different advice out there - SEO sites, TikTok, paid ads, email lists, etc. For those who’ve actually made it work: - what did you start with first? - did you focus on content or ads? - how long did it take before you saw your first results? - anything you’d avoid if starting again? curious what’s actually working right now vs what just sounds good in theory submitted by /u/ernoldri to r/Affiliatemarketing [link] [comments]

I've been lurking in affiliate marketing spaces for over a decade. Literally years of reading posts like this one, bookmarking resources, telling myself I'd start "soon." About 18 months ago I finally committed, and I want to share what's happened since, not as some guru because lord knows I am still figuring shit out every day, but because I genuinely think you should start today. Where I started: Zero affiliate income. I had some small audiences across a few platforms but nothing that screamed "monetizable." And while I do work in marketing I mostly just write and do some some SMM. Not content creation all of the time. Where I am now: I've averaged $10K/month in affiliate sales over the last 6 months. My setup is pretty scrappy compared to a lot of people in this space, 3 newsletters with about 4,000 combined subscribers, 4 social accounts across Instagram and TikTok (each in the 1,000–1,500 follower range), a couple of niche websites, and consistent activity on Pinterest and Reddit. The turning point: Early on, I was making a few hundred dollars here and there. Nothing life-changing, but enough to prove the model worked. Then one month, one of my coupon codes got randomly picked up by a coupon aggregator site. Sales exploded overnight. I had no idea where it was coming from — it literally took me almost three weeks to trace the source. The brand eventually changed my code, so the run ended, but it didn't matter. I'd seen what was possible, and I was hooked. What I actually did after that: I stopped dabbling and started treating it like a real business. I brought on an SEO specialist to help optimize my websites. I started weaving affiliate links into my newsletters as natural, value-add recommendations rather than just dropping random links. I committed to posting consistently on Pinterest, stayed active on Reddit to drive traffic, and kept showing up on my social accounts even when growth felt slow. The biggest shift was honestly just consistency. Not one viral moment, just showing up every day, testing what worked, cutting what didn't, and slowly building a system. What I use: I run most of my affiliate partnerships through ShopMy (if you want a referral let me know and I'll DM you as linking is not allowed). It's been a game-changer for managing links, tracking commissions, and connecting with brands even with my relatively small audience. If you're looking for a platform to centralize your affiliate efforts, I'd highly recommend checking it out. It's the best 'mobile' or app to run shit all from your phone. The honest truth: I know there are people in this sub with way more technical skill, bigger audiences, and deeper marketing experience who could probably take what I'm doing from $10K to $100K. I still have a ton to learn. But the point of this post isn't to brag or sell anything, it's to say that if you've been sitting on the sideline, thinking about getting into affiliate marketing but waiting for the "right time" or the "right audience size," stop waiting. Start now. Figure it out as you go. Trial and error is the curriculum. The people making real money in this space aren't the ones who had it all figured out on day one — they're the ones who just started and refused to quit. submitted by /u/Mr_Rellim to r/Affiliatemarketing [link] [comments]

Youtube is full of people claiming how easily they earn by AF. If they did, they wouldnt have a need to post on Youtube to share their knowhow. Others who claim it works are people trying to sell you course for it or bots, or influencers who already had solid audience over years. If you re starting from scratch , it wont barely cover your expenses like hosting etc. These days you have to advertise to be seen somewhere , but why would you spend money on some 3-8% provision when you can make your own product or service, or just get a job? Or you can build up a community, but without advertising it takes years to build solid audience. Again- normal job is is better than that. I spent 6 months blogging, posting on social media while practising my digital marketing skills and building a portfolio. I have built skills in Seo, wordpress, social media management, ads creation, content creation plus i have background in market research and YEARS of knowledge in field i blogged about. My advise to you is go for it if you are established influencer and go for direct with brands, or you are offering some service or your own product. You really dont want to spend full time on social media just to get a few bucks from Aff links only. You ll get a burn out and it will hardly cover your coffees. submitted by /u/Parking_Departure705 to r/Affiliatemarketing [link] [comments]
