🚨 The Problem with Affiliate Marketing (And What to Do Instead) 🚨
When I first started making money online, affiliate marketing was my go-to. I made my first bucks promoting things like web hosting, security cameras, and even microwaves.
But here’s the thing: affiliate marketing has some big problems, especially for beginners.
Here’s Why Affiliate Marketing Can Be Frustrating:
❌ It takes too long to get paid.
I made my first commission with Bluehost in just 12 hours, but I didn’t see that money for 60 days! Most affiliate programs have a “net(#)” policy, meaning you won’t get paid until 60 days after the sale. That’s a long wait if you’re just starting out.
❌ Much of the process is out of your control.
As an affiliate, you’re at the mercy of the program. Bad customer service? Lots of refunds. Plus, programs like Amazon can change the rules anytime—remember when they dropped commissions from 10% to 5%? You can even be removed from the program, losing all your hard work.
❌ The whole process takes too long.
From finding a program, applying, and waiting for a response (which can take days or even months!), to finally promoting or getting rejected with no feedback—it’s a slow road.
While I still use affiliate marketing, I don’t think it’s the best way for beginners.
Here’s a Better Way: Digital Products!
✨ Instant cash: You get paid right away when you sell a digital product. No more waiting 60 days!
✨ Full control: You create a product that helps your audience, deliver great customer service, and build repeat business.
✨ Fast to set up: You can have your first digital product ready in just 3 days and start making sales right away!
