Being an affiliate marketer has some ups but plenty of downs. People say you can make a lot doing affiliate marketing but truthfully you can in a way but it's not always. I once made 700-300 monthly selling sex toys. Giving amazing reviews from products being sent enticing the views and readers to want the toy, the way it is, what it does and how it works including how it feels. I still make a little off of it but I do not make much like I did.
I use to use the reviews to make money to support my family and now I am trying to find something else to make a little bit more income in which I started streaming again on twitch. So if you are interested my channel is lovely_grizzly. I don't really get views but I have been affiliated since 2018 and I actually quit streaming in 2019 due to internet would not allow it but now it does.
On adult blogs you cannot get AdSense at all. They do not approve it so you have to go around to companies and become an affiliate with them and try to get people to buy products and click the links that you have laying around the blog whether it is in the post or on the side bars but most do not count if the viewer does not buy something.
Companies enjoy seeing the traffic from your content. They will try to give you a review unit and then make you basically wear out the viewers and your social media by recycling the product post and then basically try to up your commissions if they buy and then because of their sales they believe it will push more and more people in but in hind sight, they have so many bad reviews and reputation that when I brought it to the attention they just rub it off and say its just a competing company in which I understand that as a business owner but trying to use someone for clout isn't gonna help their case.
Sometimes, you can give it your all just to watch it not grow no matter how much love and water you give it, it never takes off so you have to figure out what you are going to do next while in a time crunch and not understanding why nothing is working. Sometimes it is like this trust me I worked with affiliate marketing for 5-6 years and only had a sell for one company and then have a lot for another company.
No one will ever tell you how difficult it is to do this. I have done this from scratch many of times and I had to start over. I ended up getting rid of a lot of companies that have not done anything for me. I also cleaned the slate and did not stress over it cause it is a 50/50 chance of making it.
Sometimes it is best to just stick with one company instead of using so many that way you can focus on and not get lost like I did trying to force and share links to try to get spotted and known and just completely trying to help others get out there and it just became so much on me.
Truthfully it does not take much to start your own business you can dropship meaning the product stays at a warehouse and you never have to touch the product at all. It cost me $20 dollars for a business license and the EIN is free. In which I did this and made close to 1000 or so until I got shut down by eBay since they were suppose to release the money but did not and pocketed it all.
Inventory of FREE dropshippers is where I found my supplier and made some cash. I used Dream host as a webhosting site which was 13.99 a month for as many sites as I wanted.
