Seeking Help Is blogging and affiliate marketing dead?

[dniyal00x7]

I want to start a blog or affiliate marketing. Some people are saying it's dead. No one is gonna read whatever I read because they have AI to ask things now, and it's very hard to write anything; everything is already on the internet. And more of that they are saying write personal stuff or blog or experience, but I don't wanna do that. Is niche blogging or affiliate marketing dead? Any idea? Please let me know. thanks

Definitely not dead, I think it has just evolved. You can no longer make money by copying content from the first page of Google. Now you need something truly unique, based on personal experience, real cases, and content that genuinely helps people.
If you do not want to run a personal blog, you can create a niche website focused on solving specific problems such as choosing hosting, VPNs, or apps, and use SEO and ad networks to grow. I managed to increase my income a lot this year, even with the rise of AI.

That's exactly it!

Every time our industry has a major shift it throws some marketers into a frenzy and worried the industry is dying. Yet, every year the industry grows and gets stronger. We are in a fast paced industry and this is why we have stressed from the beginning that all marketers must be daily researchers to make certain they are aware of the daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, and up coming changes we must adapt to.

This is not a "once and done" type of industry. This is ever changing industry. Why, because all of the practices, platforms, and technologies are under constant development and launchings.

I spend a minimum of two hours a day researching and I've been in this industry since '96. If I didn't research every day, I would never be able to develop and maintain the businesses I have now.

As the man said, it's "evolved".

EVOLVE & ADAPT!

But also, AI tells people the top 10 VPNs or top hosting things like that. Do you think I need to work on the niche I've found, or not? Or is the old model, where we research, write, and then post, dead? Only real cases will be successful?

Sir, thanks for your reply. Can you tell me some of the places where to look for Google rules regarding Content, or important Google updates, etc, and any piece of advice for me? I am very new to the industry.

I would say not dead but also i would say very dificult nowadays .
Seo was always a game of patience and not so easy to get results and now with so much competititon it became dificult

I will not go this route if i want to make fast money ,i dont say bloging its not good but i would say you need to combine it with other traffic source and wait later on for blogging results

That's it! I'm not big on blogging myself, but I did use it to learn to properly build true content sites. Whether it's a lander, a blog, or a full fledged content site, you want to send highly targeted and high quality paid traffic to them. According to Google AI; "There are over 600 million blogs worldwide, with about 7.5 million new ones published each day." They go on to say there are 1.2 billion sites, but only 200 million of them are actively maintained. Among all blogs and content sites that are receiving paid traffic, Google AI states; "While there is no exact number of content sites that use paid traffic, it's a very common strategy, with sources indicating that paid search and display ads together account for 15-21% of total website traffic and that up to 96% of marketers use search ads. Paid traffic is particularly prevalent for e-commerce businesses, where it can represent as much as 32% of monthly traffic."

If you build a high quality blog or content site, send highly targeted high quality traffic, you will have a foundation on which you can build a growing and responsive audience. Sprinkling high quality and relevant offer ads will eventually earn the operating costs back and have a very healthy recurring and stable income for your efforts.
