Ask Do people succeed in native ad redirects to affiliate offers?

[Brajet]

Has anyone here actually found success with running ads—whether they're native ads, banner ads, text ads, or any other type—and generating a profit by redirecting that traffic to affiliate offers or other monetized redirects? On the surface, the concept seems pretty straightforward: you buy ad traffic, direct it to an affiliate link or landing page, and ideally earn more from conversions than you spent on the ads. It sounds simple enough and relatively easy to set up with the right tools. However, I have a feeling that it's not as easy as it appears. I suspect that making this approach truly profitable requires a significant amount of expertise, testing, optimization, and probably a decent budget to start with. Any insights or experiences?
