That depends on what you want to accomplish.
If you want to make a few thousand dollars a month within a year then affiliate marketing is definitely worth doing.
If you want to quit your job in three months while doubling your current income then affiliate marketing may not be for you.
There’s a misconception many people have about affiliate marketing.
- It’s a get rich quick scheme
- It’s easy
I don’t blame them. There are a lot of “gurus” out there which peddle a certain brand of success. Their formulas are always easy and anyone can do it.
They have to sell their courses. If they tell you that most people never make more than a few dollars or that you’ll work harder at affiliate marketing than you’ve ever done then how many people do you think will buy the course?
Not many.
The reality is a bit different.
Not everyone can pick up affiliate marketing and succeed. The learning curve is steep and the competition is fierce.
By the time you become proficient in the strategies that work today, they’ll change. Once you get an offer that’s converting well, other affiliates will catch on and siphon off the traffic.
It happens. You have to continue to evolve.
If you’re ready to spend a large amount of time learning a new skill set for a payday in the future then it may be worth it. There’s no upper limit to how much you can earn but it’s important to note that it’s not something that’ll happen overnight.
If you have a tendency to start something but quickly give it up then affiliate marketing may not be for you.
