How Can I Start Affiliate Marketing?
Quote from James A.Hart on June 24, 2025, 11:50 pmTo make money with affiliate marketing, you need to base your approach on your current situation. Depending on your resources, you’ll choose the right method for you.
If you have strong capital, you can earn through paid advertising. This is a fast way to generate large cash flow — but it also comes with high risk.
Most people who run ads for affiliate marketing lose money on their initial campaigns. They spend money to buy experience.
If you don’t have capital, you can do SEO. It’s harder and more time-consuming, but it doesn’t require a big investment.
And the most important thing is: when your SEO website succeeds, it can bring you passive income — something that paid advertising rarely delivers.
With paid ads, once you stop running the campaign, the cash flow stops too.
Some large-scale campaigns require you to constantly monitor them. If something suddenly goes wrong while ads are running, you could instantly lose thousands of dollars.
What if you have no capital and also no knowledge in any niche (so you can’t write SEO content)?
There’s only one way: you need to learn — based on your interests.
For example, if you love pets, you can start learning about the industry while writing content around that topic.
It may take months to build up your knowledge, but there’s no shortcut.
