beginner-friendly and fairly easy to build up.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nHowever, not all affiliate marketing programs are made equal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you do some research into affiliate marketing, you’ll see that there are some names that constantly keep coming up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Especially in the blogging community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Everyone will tell you to become an affiliate for Bluehost<\/strong>, GetResponse<\/strong>, and Tailwind<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBut what you don’t know is how difficult it can be to get a sale as an affiliate for these products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So to save you the headache and the tears, I’m going to go through each one of these programs and show you why they’re not a good place to start if you are a beginner<\/strong>, and what affiliate program you can replace it with instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAre There Any Bad Affiliate Programs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Now the question may come up: Are there actually any bad affiliate programs?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAnd the answer is yes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBut these programs that I’m about to talk about are not \u201cbad\u201d per se. They’re just not as easy to breakthrough for beginners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, there are other affiliate programs and platforms that are actually terrible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A lot of these are CTA platforms which tend to be a bit scammy<\/strong>. They can send your viewers on endless loops just to get some gift certificate or discount. <\/p>\n\n\n\nAs well as any other affiliate platform that is not 100% legit.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you encounter any platform or program you are not sold on, the best thing to do is avoid it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What Affiliate Programs Should You Avoid as a beginner?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I’m going to start this off with a big disclaimer.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll of these platforms are professional, trustworthy, and secure.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nHowever, if you are a beginner, do not have a big platform, and don\u2019t get a lot of traffic, then these are the programs that are going to be hard for you to get sales from.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThat does not mean that it is impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You will find that as you start to grow, the sales will start to come in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But these programs are more suited for people who already have some form of traffic coming in already.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nNow that I’ve made that clear, let’s look at what programs you need to avoid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
