Listen "The Problem With Most Affiliate Programs"
Episode Synopsis
Episode 6: Ditch the hustle and learn how to crush it with affiliate programs: Not all affiliate programs are worth your time, even if the payout sounds big. In this episode, we unpack what makes an affiliate program worth betting on for long-term growth. To bring it to life, we follow Anil, a fictional but all-too-relatable affiliate marketer who burned out chasing one-time commissions. His story illustrates the shift from chasing flashy percentages to building recurring, compounding income through better affiliate programs. You’ll learn how to spot programs that work, how to stack commissions over time, and how to build a lean, profitable portfolio that doesn’t reset to zero every month.Ready to stop guessing and start earning with affiliate programs?
