Happy Friday Everyone,
I wanted to speak directly to the people trying to do affiliate marketing full time, but if you're here for part time or to dabble, feel free to follow along.
To add context, I'm going to start by listing the 5+ types of affiliate marketing:
- Low ticket
- High ticket
- Recurring
- Niche websites
- Your own products
These will overlap, but the importance of this is to get you to understand the difference between high achiever and low/dabblers and this May be hard to hear.
Look, affiliate marketing is changing FAST, and the strategies while they may be evergreen and you're seeing other people get results with, they may not be for you, huh?
You have to do some serious reprogramming as how to attract an audience and what you're promoting because what worked years ago with the algorithms on YouTube, even Google aren't the same...
So what does that mean? You can't just replicate someone else's results, it's just entirely difficult altogether unless you're doing those "promote my videos" you don't have to make them for other gurus junk...
You have to really dig deep now a days. I'm not saying it's impossible but by what model are you following?
Whichever one of these 5 I listed, there's an overlap, but please by all means don't become another "MMO" niche affiliate promoting online courses for starting a business or systems of that...
It's for one supersaturated and two with so many deceiving people who are just there to earn commissions(as much as they don't admit it).

I've seen a few people BLOW up out of nowhere in a couple months just doing these tactics and strategies...
And like I said in another post here and to my group members - really pick something of a passion, hobby, or interest.
I've spoken to LOADS of people online who want to start in affiliate marketing but only want the done-for-you systems...
No work, let me promote a course back to an audience by making a YouTube video out of it. If they were so good in their business getting results for an actual business outside the MMO promote business opportunities to people do you really think they'd have a lot of time to make videos?
So, if it is the MMO niche, what about finance? Show people accounting principles, save interest rates, real estate, and more?
I consciously don't feel good about promoting even the best business courses to people UNLESS I've personally used it to grow my health and wellness niche blog or more.
Sorry about the rant but I've Run across more of these kids promoting business systems and that's what their whole purpose is about and then just grow the audience to then promote them More of the same thing they don't need.
Even the affiliate gurus are hard to find because that whole field is deceptive - but because they got in early, people follow without questioning.
Just this week alone I've receiveed loads of fb messenger messages of people trying to build good will(like you're supposed to), but there business model is just to promote to your a high ticket course...
Especially everyone jumping on tik tok to do this, my goodness lol.
And then when they get to know me well, I ask them who they are about and it's always the same story.
Affiliate marketing has gone a bit away from the whole "niche website concept", and it's heavily saturated with the whole "what do you promote" conversations around courses and what not..
I'd be welcoming to hear your thoughts.

P.s. By the way, there's more logistics to going full tile like the strategies but I wanted to take a different approach today.
