The whole throw up a sketchy blog and cash out era? Yeah, that's gone. People are way more skeptical now, and platforms are way less forgiving. But if you actually know your stuff and talk to a real audience, it still works. Like, if you're doing honest reviews, sharing what you genuinely use, or teaching something useful on YouTube, TikTok, or a newsletter, you're fine. Brands still love affiliates because they only pay when results happen. It just doesn't reward lazy hacks anymore. Put in effort, build trust, and play it smart

No, but I think it's harder for individual affiliate marketers to make money especially if they use the same old strategies to generate traffic to their offers (SEO, niche sites, blogging, social media, etc).

These days, if you want to make money from affiliate marketing, you need to know and understand media buying, that is, buying targeted online audience through ad placements on websites, mobile, pop.

Back then, people could make quick cash by throwing links everywhere, but that doesn't really work anymore. Now it's more about being real and actually helping people. If you're just posting random products with no value, people will ignore you. But if you're honest, share useful tips, and stick to a niche, you can still make good money. There's definitely more competition now, though.

Affiliate marketing is not dead it is still thriving just that the old model of affiliate marketing is gone, replaced by a more sophisticated approach focusing on trust, value, and relationships. Success now requires creating high-quality content, optimizing funnels, and leveraging AI tools to stay ahead .
