Affiliate marketing basics - no BS

3 years in. Here's what actually matters:


Pick ONE program and go deep - Stop signing up for everything. Master one product first.


Conversion > commission % - 5% on something that sells beats 50% on garbage nobody buys.


Trust wins - Honest reviews with real pros and cons convert better than hype.


Traffic first - Build audience, then monetize. Not the other way around.


Keep it simple. Find good products, help people decide, collect checks.


What programs are working for you guys?

In house affiliate programs built on traffic and communication are ideal. Referrals from clients is free money. People love free money.
