Stop wasting your time with affilicate websites

[rafark]

This is complete BS. You have to rely on a 3rd party to pay you in every business no matter what you do.

People have made millions with affiliate marketing, it's a viable income source still in 2022.

And it’s still one of the better ways to monetize a site if you don’t own a product or service to sell.

Thats not true

Well, I don't know any industry or business, that doesn't have to rely on some 3rd party. Supplier, machines, ressources, services.

You don`t have any other option except to have your product, create an affiliate program, and set-upped your own rule. But in most cases, there are so many affiliate proposals that you can select and test all that you need. So I don`t see any issue here at all.

I have sold 8 affiliate websites, including 6 figures. All sites now have almost zero traffic. Different owners, different backlinks, different niches.

I had a team, we made websites for sale, but I quit that business. Google killed it.

With Google Killed it, you mean google doesn't want to rank affiliate websites?

It's a super general question. What type of site? Health? Ecom? Info? Ads or affiliate? Your own products? direct deals?

It's too general.

It also depends on how much of the work you can do.

Can you write 5k words a day, every day for a year?

Can you do outreach yourself?

it's really hard to answer.

I wouldn't even attempt it to be honest.

It's a "how long is a piece of string" question.

The answer could be $5k, it could be $1k, it could be $100k.

I'd spend $100k in a heartbeat to build a $30k/mo site.

I'd spend $200k to make one.

I do other things though. I don't build affiliate sites. At least not with human content. AI on the other hand is a different matter.





Proof? I couldn't care less what you do. I have no desire to prove anything to anyone. Doesn't affect my stacks of cash. Advice is take it or leave it.

Could you elaborate on this?

At least not with human content. AI on the other hand is a different matter.

Why is it different with AI?

yes. And even if your website reached the top, the next update may bring down the positions.

[OlmaHowood]

yes. And even if your website reached the top, the next update may bring down the positions.

so wirecutter and all those pages are going to disappear?
If I have a 50/50 website, will Google also hate me? I mean, a website where I make affiliation, informational content and own sale of infoproducts.

If a reputed affiliate company is used and all the rules are followed it shouldn't lead to a ban or less commissions!
