because I've lost money and now I don't have much money left.
With how much money did you start affiliate marketing ?
why ? isn't that great? I know some people who are making good money with that.
Also I think affiliate marketing works better than network marketing (no control)

$20 for hosting is what started me off. Build up slow. Affiliate marketing may not have control and has many other flaws but you learn how to market to an audience on less than it would cost to make a product. You'll make some money and it might even help you find or create a product in the same niche. The beauty is you already have a captive audience if you decide to launch something.Do you think is a lack of money an excuse guys to not do affiliate marketing?

If you're going to generate leads for someone, why don't you go direct to the end businesses?
Something I posted in @IceCreamKid 's astonishing secret thread:
...
I went down the route of learning to drive "traffic" by providing lead generation as a service to business owners.
I dabbled with affiliate marketing years ago for exactly the reason you mention, but much prefer the freelancer/agency route. Here's why:
1) I'm building direct relationships with business owners - rather than with affiliate networks.
2) I get to find out what is and isn't working direct from the business owner's mouth.
3) I spend a lot of time talking to, selling to, and brainstorming with business owners. These are the type of people I like to surround myself with. No need for paid "mentors" either.
4) I manage *their* ad spend. I'm not buying the visitors with my own ad spend.
5) I get paid a flat monthly fee even if the campaigns aren't profitable. (Obviously this can only last long before the business will cut the chord.)
6) I'm likely the only person running campaigns in particular channels for each business owner. They might have other freelancers working on other channels, but that's a chance to collaborate and learn from them - rather than compete with other affiliates in the same channel for the same client.
7) If I get positive ROI for the business owner, then they often want more services.
8) There's a lot material out there to help freelancers move to outsourcing and then productised services and then platforms. (i.e. there's well documented paths out of the time for money freelance stage.)
9) You learn to sell directly to business owners. And it can be a tough sell since so many spammers have shut the doors for you. This is a good thing.
Just thought I'd throw that in there since so many people immediately discount freelancing or agency work as it's so obviously tied to your time.
...
People try to go the low-friction route. I prefer the high-friction route of actually talking to people. I learn more.
Ultimately, the market pays me to build solutions that solve their problems. That's pretty sweet.
Thanks for reply. You say the gurus, but John Crestani for example is a real affiliate marketer and he doesn't seem a BS marketer.
The only problem is people like him is that those people who tell to have much experience in affiliate marketing then they want to sell you a course wich cost 5k$ or more lol

I'm seeing that you have a "Read The Millionaire Fastlane " badge - did you really read it? There's a whole chapter on the many reasons why/why not. Unless of course, you are asking about affiliate marketing in the sense that you own a business and will be using affiliate marketing to expand your business by hiring affiliates to push your product/service/software/idea/business??? If that is the concept you're looking at, then cool.why ? isn't that great? I know some people who are making good money with that.

There are a lot of reasons not to do Affilate marketing, you don't even need an excuse.
Affiliate revenue should be a secondary ancillary income source. Purely opportunistic.
I will occasionally promote tools and services that I use which I think are unique OR are doing some kind of crazy special deal.
I've been down the hardcore affiliate marketing path and have had gurus driving Lambos and Ferraris walk away owing me tens of thousands of dollars - they exposed my income to their BS lifestyle. Once you learn that lesson the hard way, you change the way you think pretty quickly.
