Flourishing or Floundering in todays economy

Posted on March 10, 2009 in Affiliate Tips  

Just like every bit of the economy Affiliate marketing isn’t immune. I have seen some offers be pulled because merchants don’t have the funds or they are changing them up to make them more cost effective (IE longer forms less payout). While some are going under. This isn’t affiliate networks but many of the merchants that push their offers thru the networks. But honestly i think this is a good thing. I think it will automatically help weed out some of the bad apples or non converting offers… Does that mean every offer will be good moving forward… of course not it just means the prunning is occuring due to the economy and those offers/merchants that outlast it will rise up even stronger. But this doesn’t apply for just merchants i have heard of a few affiliates that were raking it in but are no struggling because they were banking on one offer or one niche… my advice is don’t give up… in hard times push thru make it work… while affiliate marketing can be hard at times when you get it right it can be repplied to many verticals not just one. So here is to making good money even in a bad economy.

    Offers will always come and go, despite the economic situation. I do think it’s to the affiliate’s advantage, though, as offers may fade out faster that aren’t working- more opportunity to find the real winners.
