Everywhere you look online, someone is screaming about affiliate marketing being a scam. Maybe you’ve seen the comments, the YouTube rants, or the bitter Reddit threads.
Heck, maybe you’re one of the people whose been doing the screaming and saying its a scam.
If that’s you, this post is for you.
And listen, you’re probably not going to like what I’m about to say. But if you can set your ego aside and really pay attention, I promise it will help you.
So here’s the thing, the number one reason people think affiliate marketing is a scam is because they don’t want to do the work.
What usually happens is, you see someone online hyping up how easy it is to make thousands of dollars in passive income with affiliate marketing, and you think, “That sounds great! Let me give it a try”
So you make a couple of posts on Instagram, maybe upload a video or two on YouTube, and then… crickets.
No commissions. No sales. No nothing.
And then, like clockwork, the excuses start…..
“Affiliate marketing doesn’t work. It’s all a scam!”
But let me stop you right there. Affiliate marketing isn’t the problem. The problem is that you didn’t treat it like a real business.
Now, I’ll cut you some slack. Part of this isn’t your fault.
There are so-called “gurus” out there hyping up affiliate marketing like it’s some magic ATM. They promise you that with a few clicks and some secret strategy, you’ll be raking in cash while sipping cocktails on a beach.
They make it sound effortless.
They do this because they are preying on your desire for quick results without effort. And while it’s frustrating that people like this exist, you’re an adult.
Deep down, you already know there’s no such thing as effortless money.
So if you’re one of the ones calling affiliate marketing a scam, it’s because you weren’t willing to treat it like the business it is.
It requires work. It requires learning new skills, creating content, building trust with your audience, and consistently putting in the effort, even when you’re not seeing results right away.
If you’re not willing to do that, then affiliate marketing isn’t for you.
And guess what?
Neither is any other online business.
