Many affiliate programs will often run promotions with good discounts or giveaways that might be attractive to your audience. For example, if you're an Amazon Associate and the site have a big Holiday Sale, it would be the perfect opportunity for you to promote discounts to your website visitors. This is a great way to promote your offers while also providing good value to your audience.
• Advanced reporting: Affiliate tracking and reporting tools are becoming significantly more advanced. New affiliate programs are abandoning the winner-takes-all approach to sales attributions and are instead migrating to a full-funnel, cross-channel approach that divides sales commissions between various affiliates at different levels of the funnel.
As someone who is just starting out in the passive income / digital products world. Do you have any advice for measuring whether your chosen niche will be a successful revenue generator early on? I don’t want to waste a ton of time and advertising dollars if my niche can’t replace my current 9-5 income. I have studied my competitors and I know that they are making six figures but they also got into the game much earlier and their niche is slightly different.
Be sure to check what kind of customer support you can expect from your affiliate program once you have signed up. Do your research online and if possible, speak to other sellers using the program to get their thoughts. Can you speak to someone via phone or Skype or do you have to wait 72 hours for email responses? Be clear on this because trust me, you will need support at one point or another.
