Hi, I want to do affiliate marketing. The first decision is to buy traffic or to grow organically. To buy traffic and be profitable with it can be a hustle. To grow organically can last very long, and even then the outcome may be not that good. But that is anyway just theory. I would like to ask you about practical experience: please think of people you know. In the people who tried it organically, how many PERCENT of them were doing really good financially with it? And from the people who tried paid traffic: how many PERCENT of them were doing really good financially? Thanks . please keep in mind: I am speaking about % , not about absolut numbers, since they are not important at all, because this number doesn’t tell how many people tried and failed.


What are the biggest problems in affiliate marketing

Hello, in theory affiliate marketing is easy and makes you rich quick…but the reality is different. That’s why I would like to ask what are the biggest problems in affiliate marketing which are hindering people earning good money? thanks
 
do not think about "quick rich", there is a non sense. People who tell you this usually are selling you a dream.

Paid ads do give you faster result. Is a good investment.

While organic, you may still build it if you want a long term goal.
 
It's always better to have constant flow of organic traffic and that's really it entirely and possibly with many many reasons out there for always good. Cause paid one may work and then may not, while investing in SEO always reasonable thing.
 
The dream: making loads of money while you sleep.

The reality: it is a very long and bumpy road to get there, no guarantee with any method that you will ever get there, but you CAN get there...

Thats when you wake up to reallity instead of making money while you sleep.
 
in my opinion, organic traffic is sweet, you can set up and forget. paid traffic is more reliable, if you master it, you can be able to make money everytime everywhere.
paid traffic can cost you a lot of money before you master it, organic traffic can be free or expensive too depending on how you will proceed.
 
Wise talks folks, both Organic and paid traffics are needed for a successful affiliate marketing growths, you need the paid traffic to create the believing impression for a fast scaling organic traffic growth, it is as simple as that. :D
 
Paid vs Organic is often seen as a matter of Cost vs Speed., but there is more to it.

Paid traffic can deliver faster results, but you must know exactly what you are doing in order to be profitable. Traffic is only a part of the equation to profits, because no amount of traffic will lead you anywhere if you do not have a high converting landing page, just as an example. This means that you have to know how to build a high converting landing page, write a sales letter, follow up with email marketing, social media, etc, and as much as you may buy your way to some of this things, it does not mean you will get a positive return, because this is always risky of you don't have some know-how of your own.

On the other hand, organic traffic is "cheaper" in the sense that you do not have to pay upfront for it, but make no mistake, you have to pay for it because getting it requires education and as well as investment, and more importantly time (which to me is the must valuable resource), so in both scenarios a cost will come with each approach.

Therefore, the question is, are you prepared to assume the cost of success?

You have to commit to learning and working hard, there is no way around it, even if you have money to burn, so tune up your mindset and start grinding!
 
If you know that your content is DEFINITELY useful to certain keywords, I wouldn’t mind using paid traffic so it can start building traction. If the article is what people are really looking for, you could possibly fetch a few backlinks from paid traffic.

Overall, free traffic is what I would go for long-term!
 
If you have $2-3K, get into paid ads.

SEO/Organic traffic is something you build and treat like Real Estate. It's money for the future...
 
When u have organic traffic u don't care about the cpc but what i will say is both can be good and bad. If you are looking for fast results u should go with paid ( when i say fast results they can be good and bad)
