Sure you should. But I am going to be completely honest with you here, it shouldn’t be at the core of your business model. The odds of you making a living as an affiliate marketer are not good. They are not good at all.
Before you read the rest of this article, I want you to realize something. There is a very good chance you have been led to believe that you can make tons of money as an affiliate marketer.
Well, while there are exceptions to every rule, the rule here is: odds are, you won’t. Now, this doesn’t mean that you can’t make money at all as an affiliate marketer, you can, but dreams of CRUSHING IT ONLINE are (for the most part) just that, dreams, and more often than not, they have been pitched to you as an effort to sell you on the re-selling of a product or service.
Sticky: Sources Of Targeted Traffic Versus Sources Of Non-Targeted Traffic
Truth be told, websites live and die by their traffic numbers, “targeted” traffic that is.
If a website receives lots of targeted traffic, then, generally speaking, conversions will be good.
If a website receives lots of non-targeted traffic, then, odds are, conversion rates and such will be bad.
What type of traffic do you want? If you’re like me, you want traffic that is legitimately interested in the information found on your site. Anything less is a waste of bandwidth.
