I find countless websites like this talking about great affiliate marketing programs and boasting about how easy it is to make tons of money with affiliate marketing. However, here is the problem…

None of them discuss HOW to get your blog, YouTube channel, etc. to the point where it has enough viewers to where companies will actually WANT to do affiliate marketing with you and will actually contact you to work with you. And THAT is by far the most difficult part.

So no, it isn’t easy in the least bit. In fact, from the people who talk about the TRUTH behind affiliate marketing, it CAN be a great way to make money, but only after you’ve spent months or even years putting content out there and already have a VERY solid viewer base. That’s great that you worked your way up so fast, but for your one blog that makes as much as you claim, there are countless others who wasted months or even years on blogs and get little to no return on it. So, your website neglects to cover the most difficult part of the topic. And that’s not pointing the finger at you – it seems like that is where 99% of the people discussing affiliate marketing fall short. They talk about the finish line rather than the path to GET to that finish line.

I have seen some websites that flat out lied too about how “easy” it was. Like an example of one woman who put together her first affiliate marketing video selling a product and got her first $50. It made it *seem* like she just put together a video and immediately started making money. They failed to address the fact that she already had the YouTube channel for over a year and had over 500 subscribers prior to that.

Anyway, with that said, might I suggest that in the future, when you are going to discuss topics like this, include links to content on *how* to actually get your content to the top of search engines, or to otherwise get subscribers, viewers, etc.
