Great content Opossum!

1) What extension or analytics sources was the screenshot for 'Traffic Sources by Type' from?

2) In effort to find a niche within an industry to target do you think it is best to reverse engineer based on affiliate offers on the networks? Or Identify the largest niches (based on revenue) with the smallest number of competitors? I am assuming there is not magical path and just have to go through trial and error here.

TIA

Do you have any suggestions for those who want to drive paid traffic to a landing page with an affiliate offer? In terms of traffic sources would you still recommend FB even with all the account issues that many are experiencing? Or would you recommend moving to YouTube, TikTok, native, or other traffic sources?

Also interested in your take on promoting more seedy offers such as crypto, trading (crypto and stocks), weight loss, dating, and gambling. What would be the one or two things that we have to do to make them work white hat. I think it’s a challenge to stay compliant with the tos of the traffic source.

Also, do you have any credible affiliate networks you can share for those offers?

Thanks!

Hey new to the jungle and wanting to get online income stream up. Question : Someone on Twitter who seems legit has a course. I’m assuming he shows us his process and how he does it. As a beginner would you trust it? Why would he sell his edge through a course if his model is successful?

How do you affiliate for a SaaS? How different is it from affiliating for a physical product ?

Looking to start affiliate for the first time. I have a conventional business that is successful, looking to build out a second affiliate biz that can end up being a springboard for ecom.

Looking at either skincare, or high end yachting.

Do you have any examples of sites to analyse? For a total beginner it can be hard to even identify what is a good affiliate site.

I have a company in the cannabinoid-health space (CBD/hemp stuff). We make our own products with our partners, and just coming out of R&D to sell direct to customer. We are small, and I am looking for the best way to go about driving customer acquisition online. We are making content now, but am interested in online ads (google shopping)? What are your thoughts on best first approaches?
