Here at Authority Hacker, we launched our first affiliate website back in 2013<\/a>, so we\u2019re used to people asking us: is affiliate marketing worth it?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To answer that question, we often say something along the lines of this\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some people dream of becoming professional athletes or pop stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some fantasize about space travel (I\u2019m looking at you, Bezos<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And some of us long for a life of passive income and tons of free time to do whatever we please.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Travel. Work from anywhere with an internet connection. See family and friends. Lie on the couch in our boxer shorts all day watching Real Housewives of Salt Lake City<\/em>. Whatever takes our fancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that sounds like life for you, the affiliate marketing industry can absolutely<\/em> make it happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for every affiliate marketer living the dream, there\u2019s another \u2014 or, more likely, lots of others \u2014 who are barely scraping by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building a successful affiliate marketing business is tough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And there are no guarantees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This brings us neatly back to the question:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is Affiliate Marketing Worth It?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Affiliate marketing is worth it if you have a strategy to promote products or services that are relevant and valuable to your audience. Affiliate marketing can be a source of high passive income, as some successful affiliates make over $100,000 per month. However, it requires effort, patience, and consistency to succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be successful in affiliate marketing, it is important to choose a niche<\/a> that you are genuinely interested in. Of course, you also want to choose a niche that offers plenty of scope for affiliate sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because more sales (usually) means more money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our founders, Gael and Mark, speak extensively about how to find a profitable niche<\/a> on the Authority Hacker Podcast<\/a>, so be sure to check out their advice.<\/p>\n\n\n
