Better become a vendor than an affiliate.

For beginners, the key is to start small and focus on learning. Pick a niche you understand or are interested in, then research products or services that actually solve problems for people.Can you give me some advice here? THANK YOU SO MUCH
Next, build a simple platform. Like a blog, YouTube channel, or social media page. And start creating helpful content around your niche. Avoid chasing every affiliate program at once; focus on a few good ones.
Also, learn the basics of SEO, email marketing, and content promotion, it makes a huge difference early on. Consistency and genuine value usually beat “quick money” tactics.

Skip the blog for now. The entry barrier is too high. Start with content arbitrage on high-traffic platforms you don't own.
Find a product on Amazon with a clear problem (e.g, phone ring light for streaming). Go to TikTok or Instagram Reels, search for videos of people struggling with bad lighting. Use a free editor to clip their problem, then show a quick cut of the ring light solving it. Add the Amazon affiliate link in your bio. You're piggybacking on existing audience interest.
Another fast start, answer niche questions on Reddit or Quora. Don't be generic. Find threads like Best budget microphone for podcasting? Write a detailed comparison of 2-3 specific models, mentioning pros/cons. Include your affiliate links. This targets high-intent users already looking to buy. Build a reputation first with helpful answers, then monetize.
The key is to monetize existing intent, not build an audience from scratch. Once you have consistent sales, then consider a blog or site to capture that traffic directly.

When I started in aff marketing the first thing I did was register a real business (with my state) and made a slick/modern website with my brand name as a portfolio. Never had a problem getting approved

Start simple: pick one niche, choose one solid affiliate network (like Amazon, Impact, or CJ), and focus on learning how to drive targeted traffic. Don’t try everything at once.Can you give me some advice here? THANK YOU SO MUCH
Master one traffic source first — SEO, short-form content, or email marketing.
Once you see your first few commissions, scaling becomes 10x easier.
Happy to point you in the right direction if you share what niche you’re thinking about!

Well...actually, i've always had a question about aff maeketing, when we face different offers, how can we build the sustainable advantage? Or do we need to start form zero each time?
Looking forward to your replay.

Yeah, it's achievable for a complete beginner like me, at least for the first few months.

Honestly just start small. Pick one niche, join a simple network like Amazon or Impact, and focus on learning traffic basics from either SEO or short-form content. Most beginners get stuck trying everything at once. Keep it simple and build from there.
