Greetings members of Wealthy Affiliate. As 2018 comes to a close in 9 days, I can say I have started to see more successes for myself this year compared to last year. As the new year approaches and many people start their resolutions, I would suggest that many people should start an affiliate business. Buy why start an affiliate marketing business in 2019? Isnt it already a saturated market? The answer is no and I will explain my reasons below.

If you have ever thought about doing affiliate marketing and have recently joined Wealthy Affiliate in order to learn the skills, you have just started at the perfect time.

With 2019 coming around the corner, you will definitely be ahead of all the new years resolutioners who are:

"Thinking about starting a business"

but never actually doing it. If you have made the decision to learn affiliate marketing before the new year, please give yourself a round of applause. If this is NOT you yet, you still have time to join Wealthy Affiliate before the start of the new year.

With that being said, if you are still not sure you want to start a business in affiliate marketing, I want to share with you a few reasons why you may consider starting one.

TOP 5 REASONS TO START IN 2019!

Growing Billion Dollar Industry

Affiliate Marketing is a growing industry and it is only said to grow to to a near 7 billion dollar industry by the time the year 2020 comes around. That is about less than 13 months away at the time of me writing this.

More money is coming into affiliate marketing now more than ever. Compare that to when Kyle first started in affiliate marketing back in 2002. So why the money influx?

More companies are starting affiliate programs

If your favorite and well known companies having affiliate programs wasn't enough, there are more companies out there starting affiliate programs. They are paying people to refer new customers to their products and services.

These companies understand that it is more important to have a digital presense and they also understand that happy customers are the best source of new customers. Why do you think Yelp is around?

It is cheap to start

At most, in order to get started in affiliate marketing, you need to have a website, a domain name, and a hosting platform. While you can definitely get these from other places, Wealthy Affiliate offers these services along with your premium membership. Best of all, there is a lot of opportunity to be able to pay for it when you start out especially with the site comments platform. You don't need to wait till your website is generating revenue in order to start paying off your membership dues. This is actually a relative way to pay off your dues quick.

Many potential ideas

Affiliate Marketing is going on everywhere around us. There are blogs promoting workout programs. Many people are out there promoting photography equipment. In fact, there is even a blog that is promoting Football Snack Helmets (WA webinar coach Jay). There is not any idea that is off limits. I may hate it or think it is stupid but there is probably someone making money from it. So yes, go after your ideas and dont let me tell you that its stupid bevause I have learned myself that no idea is ever off limits. In fact, I heard that Kyle thought that the Football snack helmets website was absurd until he found out Jay was making between $400 to $1000 every month from it.

It's Potential Passive Income

Most people who are learning affiliate marketing here at Wealthy Affiliate are doing so because they want both time freedom as well as financial freedom. They understand the opportunity to work less and less and earn more and more. Now keep in mind that the people achieving this are putting in lots of hard work in the front. They aren't setting it and forgeting it.

But they do understand the potential because they know websites opperate 24/7/365 whether you are working out, sleeping, sick, on vacation, etc. They understand that the website works even when they can't.

If you were doing any of the above things in a traditional job, would you get paid? Not unless you have benefits such as sick time, vacation time, etc. But even those are very limited. With a passive income business such as affiliate marketing, you can have more than 3 sick days or 2 weeks of vacation and still get paid.

Take Action Today!

So I hope you see the opportunity right in front of you and I hope you join Wealthy Affiliate today if you want a better chance of success within affiliate marketing. It was a decision that I certainly didnt regret myself and I am glad I am starting to see income not just from Wealthy Affiliate but also other programs like Google Adsense as well.

Kudos to you for the post! Congratulations on your accomplishments so far! Looking forward to seeing more of your future accomplishments!

May 2019 has more surprises for us.

Looking forward to it

Jessie,
With so many niches no matter what there is always
room for more in this online world :)
And with the growth coming in the years ahead what
better way than to start now.
Thanks for sharing,
Susan

Also, new niches are coming into the market everyday. I didn’t know drones were going to get popular.

Great post, Jessie. It's the perfect time to start in affiliate marketing. There will be competition, but I believe that whatever the niche, even if the competition is high, has a place for all of us.

What I ended up finding out is that all boats rise with the tide. Yes you are competing with other bloggers but I also realize a lot of bloggers help each other especially when it comes to getting ranked.

Thank you for this post, I have been asked the question too why affiliate marketing the market is so saturated and I told them that everyday people are looking for a chance to become independent and affiliate marketing is the best way. so thank you for the confirmation.

I am glad to reaffirm your belief and hope you take advantage of the opportunity ahead.
