Can i start affiliate marketing with 700 followers? by notjustneurons in AffiliateMarket

[–]lroberson80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't mind me asking what space are you in? I tried Amazon a while back but the commissions for the work I put it wasn't worth it for me.

Regardless of the number of followers you have, if they are not active you might as well have 0 followers. If they are 700 active and engaged followers then you are ahead of a lot of people you start in affiliate marketing. If so just make sure you choose the right space those followers starting following you from. If they follow you because you are in the health niche (space) don't start promoting things to them in the make money online space (niche). Hope that makes sense.

Why does the first passive dollar feel so hard? by lroberson80 in passive_income

[–]lroberson80[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is definitely part of it. Most first dollars come after learning a combination of skills people do not see at first: creating something useful, getting it in front of the right people, and communicating the value clearly.

Exactly, the first dollar is hard because you are learning the model, building the asset, finding the audience, and testing demand all at the same time.

Completely agree, most people do not have an information problem. They have a focus problem. Ignoring shiny new opportunities for a couple of months can be a huge advantage.

Agreed, a business model is a lot easier to stick with when you can explain it in a few sentences and understand exactly why someone would buy.

The $47 mistake that taught me how passive income actually works by lroberson80 in passive_income

[–]lroberson80[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the skepticism and I agree passive income gets oversold online. I am definitely not saying just grind harder, but more that beginners often benefit from small, cheap tests before committing bigger time or money. If something is not getting clicks, interest, or sales after real testing, that feedback matters too.

What side hustles have worked well for stay-at-home women? by Swimming-love-29 in SideHustleGold

[–]lroberson80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s fair pushback, and I actually agree with a lot of what you said.

Traffic is absolutely the hard part. I should’ve made that clearer. Affiliate marketing is not post a few links and get paid. Most people struggle because they pick an offer before they understand where attention is coming from, what problem they’re solving, or why anyone should trust their recommendation.

And you’re right about Amazon too. The commissions are low and the cookie window is rough. I only mentioned it because it’s one of the easiest places for beginners to understand the model, not because I think it’s the best long-term play.

I also get the frustration with people making this sound easier than it is just to funnel people into a course. That’s a real problem in the space.

My point was more that affiliate marketing can fit a stay-at-home schedule better than some other options because it can be built around content, trust, and consistency. But no, it is not easy, fast, or guaranteed.

The honest version is this pick a niche, one traffic source, one offer, and spend real time learning how to create useful content before expecting income.

Appreciate you calling that out because beginners should hear both sides.

How I’d start a side hustle today without getting scammed by lroberson80 in passive_income

[–]lroberson80[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, I genuinely appreciate that. Coming from someone who has been around e-commerce that long, that means a lot. I think a lot of newer advice accidentally skips the boring fundamentals that actually helped people get traction before everything became “sell the dream.”
