Keep it Simple.
You can work the f out for yourself. But we do need to keep it simple as the average reading age of the average American is at the 7th- to 8th-grade level, according to The Literacy Project.
Lately, I have been dumbing down my posts, sad but true, and am getting a better response.
The Stuff
Affiliate marketing is a great way to earn money online, but it can also be overwhelming and complicated. That's why I recommend keeping it simple and focusing on the basics. Here are some of the benefits of simplifying your affiliate marketing strategy:
- You save time and energy. Instead of spending hours researching and testing dozens of products, platforms, and tools, you can focus on a few that work well for you and your audience. You can also create a system that automates some of the tasks, such as sending emails, tracking conversions, and managing payments.
- You avoid confusion and frustration. Trying to juggle too many things at once can lead to mistakes, errors, and missed opportunities. You might also get confused by conflicting advice or information from different sources. By keeping it simple, you can follow a clear and consistent plan that works for you and your goals.
- You build trust and credibility. When you promote products that you genuinely use and recommend, your audience will trust you more and be more likely to buy from you. You will also avoid spamming them with irrelevant or low-quality offers that might damage your reputation or relationship with them.
- You enjoy the process more. Affiliate marketing can be fun and rewarding if you do it right. By keeping it simple, you can avoid stress and burnout and focus on the positive aspects of your business. You can also experiment with different strategies and methods without feeling overwhelmed or pressured.
As you can see, keeping affiliate marketing simple has many benefits for you and your audience. So don't complicate things unnecessarily and stick to the basics. You will be surprised by how much easier and more profitable your affiliate marketing business will become.

This is a great post Steve. Sadly, I think you are right. But, you know, even if the average person has been dumbed down by the so-called education systems in the West, I do think that keeping it simple has always been the best marketing approach. I think we often lose people if it's too complicated or too long-winded. I have always believed that you don't sell products or systems or opportunities. Marketing, in my view, means you are selling YOU! People buy from those who they know, like and trust and I have always found that people who are transparent and straightforward, uncomplicated and unpretentious, are the people I like the most. You don't have to spend any time or effort trying to figure them out...
