Affiliate Marketing YouTube Ads Boycott

Are you one of the many people out there who would love to make money online but are afraid to try affiliate marketing? Maybe you have been overwhelmed with all the information that you have seen on affiliate marketing and want to know what is the best way to go about making money with affiliate marketing. The fact of the matter is that affiliate marketing is free to get started and you can quickly build an online audience using platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. But generating traffic naturally and building a brand takes lots of your time, effort and focus.

Recently, I saw a commercial about a certain company that uses affiliate marketing to market their business. I'm sure you have seen similar ads or maybe even these same ads themselves. So, what is the deal with these seemingly smart-looking commercials with social media advertising at the side and a lot of money that you can make in just a few days? Is it really possible to make a living online using social media? That is what I decided to investigate and now I have found that it is possible and here is what I learned:

No, it is not true that you can generate a million views in a day using social media platforms. What I did find interesting was that they were only promoting two affiliate marketing products. They had a "rouse the consumer" kind of an ad and then another product that was recommended by a "social media expert". In essence, they were trying to instigate a discussion. This could be effective but the reality is that you need more than a "rouse the consumer" type of ad for a traffic source. You need an ad that sparks conversation and that encourages action.

You can increase traffic from the platforms such as Facebook and Twitter but there are limits to what you can do and the rules and regulations of each platform. It would be like going from a shopping platform to a forum. Yes, you will meet people on the shopping platform but will they actually buy anything? Probably, not so the platform is a poor choice for an affiliate marketing platform.

The third affiliate marketing platform that I discovered is the YouTube niche. The thing that YouTube has going for it is that there are millions of people who use it every day. This means that the audience of the affiliate marketer is huge. The downside is that there is no content creators. It is hard to attract content creators to your niche and you must pay to get one created for you. It is cheaper to create content on other websites because the audience is a smaller one.

The most important thing is to focus on the niche or niches that are highly related to your niche or the theme of your website. That is what will help you attract viewers. You need to have a solid knowledge about the things that your audience is interested in so that you can make the content based on that. If you know the things that your audience wants and is willing to spend money to get them, then you will most likely succeed in your affiliate marketing venture.

One thing that affiliate marketers should remember is that they should not over advertise. People who only have one or two affiliate products is fine. You do not want to overwhelm your viewers with ads all the time. But you do not want to under advertize either, as this can lead to advertisers minding (or buying) your product too soon. Choose the right number of ads per day to keep your viewers focused on your content.

The last thing that I would like to discuss is that there are many different payment methods available to affiliate marketers. This includes pay per click, ads on other people's websites, text links, email marketing, and other methods. Some work better than others and some work better for certain types of audiences. Always evaluate your market and see what works best for them, and then choose a payment method that works for you.
