Why is it so hard?

Don't use affiliates, why would you want to make somebody else money? *smirks*
Find your own way to bring people value, start your own business.

Affiliate Marketing is one of the easiest ways to get into IM for a noob.
Advising against it means that you do not fully understand the benefits.

Haven't read other people's comments on this but here's mine:
Pick one method you think you enjoy and actually got some interest in, work on that method, pick a good niche which suits your interests so it does not feel like you are working hard
Work until you earn, and then add some more methods or expand the current method.
Goodluck man.

Maybe you're right, I'm focused on building wealth not making chump change.

Haha, there are plenty of wealthy affiliates. Let me guess, you sell Instagram shoutouts right?

Wrong question.
Yes, it is hard. But if you keep asking not useful questions, you will keep coming up with the same useless answers.
Ask better questions and just start doing anything, it's way better and more useful than just keep wondering.

I wasn't being rude to you, affiliate marketing just isn't for me.
I consult with startups/ brands for influencer marketing and branding.
Growing ecommerce websites, and currently starting around 20 Instagram pages in two niches to act as magazines/ influencers to drive traffic to new ecommerce brands I'm working on.
But shoutouts is no joke, I know someone with 1 promotional page averaging 2-4k likes who sells 20-30 shoutouts a day for $25 each.
I'm sure people successful in affiliate marketing work hard which i respect.

Hey mate, no worries.
Good Luck.
Hello there, yea i definately understand how you feel, as I had the same feeling when I graduate from school trying to feed myself hehe. I recently discovered that making money online isn't all that hard once you know which platform works for you. Few month ago my friend recomended me to use an mobile app called Meshbean to make some cash during my free time so I started using it and the result was not bad. it is bascially a online marketing app that offer you back money reward by just downloading free games from the app. If you are interested just go visit their webiste or search for their Facebook group for find out more as the admin of the group can assist you. Hope you will find this information useful and hopefully you will be able to make a fortune like I did. Cheers
Don't promote your crap app here, you will only piss people off with your bullshit.

Love it. Harder than offline to make money? As someone who worked in direct response call centers for years developing sales processes and training people to sell - I can definitely tell you it's much easier with little to no money to start a business online than offline.
I could have started a call center of my own if I wanted to invest $250,000+. It only cost me less than $100 to start making money online not counting all the money I wasted buying crap before I finally decided to do exactly what the others in this thread keep telling you to do - Take Action.
Decide what projects to pursue, completely envision the entire process from start to finish, and then do the work and you will likely find that making money online is actually very easy. Sadly most people appear to think there is a golden key or magic button to push to make money, and this is not the case. Just like real world businesses - it's taking action that yields results.
Additionally as pointed out by others - you didn't even really ask a viable question at all OP ... that's why your thread is simply full of motivational bullcrap - my comment included. Go through some journeys, journals, methods and identify some practical projects you can start working on in the next couple weeks, and then design the plans, implement the plans ... push refresh and count money. Next time you feel compelled to ask a question though make sure it is direct and about something people can actually answer. We already have enough of these motivational threads brewing.
Nonetheless, stay focused and get to work OP. You're losing money in threads like this one ... just like I am. Later!
Hope everything goes well for you also man *fist bumps*

20-30 from the same account? He won't be able to do that long. I'm surprised he still has followers doing that.
If making money through affiliate marketing was easy, everybody would be doing it, and the total amount of money each person could make would go down. Think about a site like SwagBucks or Amazon Mechanical Turk. Easy work, tiny pay, everybody can do it.
Affiliate marketing is much much more difficult, but the pay is higher.
Just remember this rule: The easier it is to ENTER a money making method, the less it will pay.
If you want to really make money on IM, it is going to take a lot of effort. If you treat it like a hobby, it will pay like a hobby. If you treat it like a business, it will pay you like a business.

A lot of the content is value adding to the audience, in the same context as a magazine.
The page has 24k posts and has been around several years now, it's been a sustainable success.
You don't read a magazine and say "there's too many pages of great content"
Magazine = Subscribers / Instagram = Followers all want the same thing which is great content.
Even if it's viewed as too much by some and the engagement drops you'd be suprised how many brands just look at the topline number, also if you see a lot of brands 20+ paying to promote on a page you assume it must work for them otherwise they'd be throwing money down away.

first you must learn on some IM Techniques found on this forum, then decide which one you are good at or the one that you can do that you can keep up specially daily. At first it is hard but as you get through it things will become easier.
