I've signed up with Amazon Associates Central (one-Link for multiple countries), CJ Affiliate, JV Zoo, Admitad, Partnerize, PartnerStack, ArabClicks, Ascend (pepperjam), Cuelinks, Viglinks, + few individual advertisers such as fiverr.
My concerns:
1. The bigger names have a strict deadline for performance even during this difficult time of Covid-19 and the resultant lockdown, slowing economy and so on. The big affiliate networks just wouldn't listen and deactivate your account, leaving all your efforts to zero. How does a newbie affiliate tackle / overcome this?
2. You see thousands of clicks on your performance dashboard, but zero conversion. How does this work? The patent answer from affiliate networks is: The clicks need to be genuine. In other words, you need to share your affiliate links where the needy will click and buy from it. How? I've created niche content and used the affiliate text and banner links, posted them on social media platforms including, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, Pinterest. These are genuine platforms. How many clicks before I can be assured that affiliate marketing is genuine? I am prodding on currently using optimism from what John Crestani has said: "Keep going at it until you earn your first commission, then it's no looking back."
3. In today's technologically fast paced world, can I stick to only content from my website and earn from affiliate marketing? Or do I need to integrate content on my own website with video / vlog / podcast?
4. Please share any suggestion / tip / advice. All are welcome, including brickbats.
