    1. Yes, PPC ads are another viable alternative to paid social, although they’re generally not cheap these days either – you definitely need to have a dialed-in strategy to avoid overextending yourself.

      Also note that a lot of sellers are nervous about “brand bidding,” so you need to be careful how you approach PPC campaigns as an affiliate. Thanks for the question!

  1. Ad networks like Facebook, Youtube Google Search ads are god awful expensive and rarely ever convert anymore. Free traffic is useless unless you are a master pro at creating content or blogs.

    1. Yep, we’re seeing a lot of that. With the proliferation of generative AI, you either need to have extremely unique and high-quality creatives/content, or you need to lean into massive scale while maintaining a minimum level of quality for your output.

      The affiliates still stuck in the awkward middle between quality and quantity are going to struggle. Hopefully, the video offered some helpful takeaways, though. Thanks for your comment!
