Yes it's dead. the end is near.. Aliens going to take over soon

For your question:
There are people who bank hard on affiliate marketing. No it's not dead. Just put the effort to shape your skills.

Why not ask 1 question, then action the replies before asking another very broad and very basic question.

Also stop asking people to Inbox you, it's very suspicious and doesn't bode well.

"Affiliate Marketing ... Dead is not."

The internet has changed people are less willing to share... Especially if they are banking hard.

 

[Amsterdammed]

Its dead like a hors

 

[soulSEO]

If it’s dead, why so many people are here?

 

[Odimo]

Such a question on bhw is ironic, isn't it?

no one is willing to share anymore even basic informations, but i don't blame them because every time someone shares a method it get oversaturated too fast.

I disagree! There is lots of information regarding affiliate marketing outside there (even here on BHW - "affiliate marketing journeys").

There is even a time when someone said SEO is dead, but is it?

Just do your research, mate!

True. Too many takers. Way less resources.

It's not dead, and not saturated. You just have to find an offer you could promote somewhere with low competition.

Example using AdWords:
CPC in FR for a specific keyword for your offer is 0,30€
Payout after conversion is 70€

Doing this with the right angle/landing pages/tracking/offer isn't difficult.

Research is the most important, don't try to join a niche/placement full with competition

yes there is LOT of information out there but is it valuabale? only 10% of the information i found have some value and 90% is pure BS. i tried this 10% and i actually made money. but this is not the point, internet has changed and back then you can find 50% valuabale information and 50% BS. nowadays less people share their methods as it gets saturated very fast. and nothing is dead even torrenting still works if you have your own twist and have some good resources.

It changes lik SEO did, but never died.

I'd hate to bump a thread with this title, butttt. I've noticed that too. Back 10 years ago if I wanted to learn a new skill like coding it was easy - go to w3schools and learn. There was no bullshit - just learning.

Now if you wanna learn something like dropshipping there's 20,000 youtubers and websites filled with gurus who all own lambos and make $50k/mo dropshipping after only 6 months and you can too if you buy the $1200 course!! It's hard to wade through the actual legit courses to invest (I'm all for investing for self improvement), but there's a ton of trash. Honestly I feel like nowadays I spend more time wading through the trash than actually learning

Nope AM is not dead and not going to die, anytime soon.

Nope it doesnt take "years" to make money with AM, unless you're planning to make 6 figures every month.

Those who tell it takes years are either trying to weed out the competition by demorlaizing you or they are generalizing their own strength and capability.

Disliked and unsubcribed for clickbait title.
Oops wrong site.

 

[DanielOnYouTube]

It isn't dead, but it is over-saturated because of how many people are being mislead by "make money online" gurus. Everyone and their dog thinks that affiliate marketing is easy, which means that many people are marketing the exact same products in the exact same manner.

I think when its come to coding there are more good free resources than ever and goes against the grain.

When it comes to 'make money online' its always been full of snake oil salesmen and snakes trying to sell you 'the killer method'.
But people did give away black hat methods now BHW has cleaned up its act (or at least moved the ewhoring and cookie stuffing sections to executive vip).

Ten years ago it was expected that people had some coding experience (or at least could hack apart some javascript) nowadays this isn't seen as a requirement anymore.

Ironically drop shipping is one of those things where you never actually have to buy a guide you just have to know how to write scrapers and bots.

All dropshipping is is data and retail arbitrage.

Scrape the web for products.
lookup how much product is selling for on eBay or Amazon.
if cost of product + postage fees + ebay / amazon fees < ebay / amazon buy it now price.
Congratulations you've made your first successful dropship!

Now write a bot to create amazon accounts worldwide (same with ebay).
Write a listing bot which lists on these platforms.
write a bot which buys the product from retail stores and automatically ships it to the address.

I've just made you a set and forget income stream!


You don't need to pay $500 to a guru to by his ebook. You do need to learn to code however

I'm being somewhat sarcastic but I guarantee you there are people making millions a year doing exactly this!
