Need your answer about the Future of Affiliate Marketing

15 replies
Hi everyone,
I'm a newbie with Affiliate marketing. The truth is that i have first step 3 months ago. But recently, when i have looked around IM's world, i saw some titles such as: Affiliate Marketing is Dead, etc.

I have send many emails to some gurus. And i have nothing back. No answer send back to me. So, today, I decided post my question here. I really need your answers.

Will affiliate marketing still be around in a few years? (I worry that if I put all the work into now, it might all be wasted if affiliate marketing dies).
You see, I want to join Affiliate marketing, i want to become an affiliate marketer. I want to build my site that guides everyone how to get start and earn money from Affiliate Marketing. But I don't know should I go? I worry about the future of Affiliate Marketing. And can you give me an advice?.
Have a nice day.

    Affiliate marketing will still be around. As long as there are people with needs, there will be something to be sold. And those marketers will need people to help them market their products. That is where affiliate marketing comes in play.

    So no, it won't die because there will always be people with needs.

    Affiliate marketing is never going to die.. There will always be affiliate marketing in some shape or form. Mind as well start learning as much as possible now.

      I do agree with Nio93

      I have send many emails to some gurus. And i have nothing back. No answer send back to me.
      I am sure your email spam box thrown, or gurus do not want to read your message.

    1. Selling things for a commission (the basic affiliate model) isn't going to die.

    2. Don't start a site "that guides everyone how to get start and earn money from Affiliate Marketing" until you know what you are doing, have had some consistent success, and have something of value to offer. Obviously at this point you are nowhere close.

      Affiliate marketing is far from dead. People are scamming and screwing up the system by drawing the attention of the Ftc.
      You have hackers taking over systems and forcing users to fill out cpa offers.
      You have obvious fraudsters and scammers...
      Cookie stuffing is an issue...

      Even with all that, millions are being made.

    With all due respect, if you had a real good look through this forum (and I'm not saying you should or that you have time), there will be a thread dedicated to every single internet marketing method asking if it's kicked the bucket or will be soon.

    Seriously, ignore the "is x dead" threads.

    I think people just have an obsession with starting them.

    Edit. As Mark has pointed out, don't try and tell people how to do affiliate marketing until you have seen success with it. The amount of people I see here asking desperately naive questions with a signature promising me IM riches is staggering and it does very little for their reputation.

    That's just a scare tactic to get you on their list so that you can buy their ish!! Imagine that...internet marketing is dead and they are the only one's that can help you survive the apocalypse. I started in IM 4 years ago and used to get those same emails and blog posts... but here I am still pounding away on my keyboard and IM is still here as well.

    Affiliate marketing will never die.

    Think about it from a business owners standpoint.

    Imagine you own a product and you are working hard to advertise your product.

    Other individuals offer to write article and make videos about your product to help you promote it for a commission.

    Of course the business owner will accept the offer most of the time.

    Its basic business.

    Affiliates are essentially salesmen...that's all. Salesmen aren't going anywhere.

    Affilite marketing is going strong There are many ways to make money. Just look at all the different threads here on various techniques. My issue is the future of cpa networks. You see them closing on a regular basis. And people are smarter to the techniques that were making many guys big money. Such as email submits, free downloads and free trial offers.

      The reason you hear these stupid rumors is because they're started by people
      who want to sell your their program. Don't buy into it. Affiliate marketing isn't
      going anywhere.
