Hello everybody. This is my first post. So I'll make a brief presentation before going to the question above.
I worked for 4 years as a Journalist while making landing pages translations for an Affiliate Marketing Agency. Then I started working as an account manager in the abovementioned Marketing Agency that mainly deals with Nutraceutical Affiliate Marketing.
The job have been always absolutely disorganized, with always deadlines never met, lack of real instructions on what to do and superiors and supervisors ignoring my messages (we all work from home). To put things in perspective, I come to this job without having a clue of how affiliate marketing works and their response has always been "google it". However, they always paid relatively well because at the end I brought some results. And generally speaking I was working not more than 4–5 hours a day.
Now, after two years at this job, I always thought to launch my own landing/prelanding pages and become independent of the agency as an affiliate marketer, however as an account manager I see the huge difficulties that webmasters encounter in this sector and, reading various opinions, from what I understand affiliate marketing today is only for those with big capital ($100,000+) because the competition is fierce and all major platforms (Google, Yahoo, Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok) ban all landing pages, creative, etc.
I am speaking mainly of Nutraceutical Affiliate Marketing, as it is the only vertical I have experience in.
I don't have money, I mean I have something but like in the order of $2000, I am afraid to lose everything and don't gain anything.
So, the question is, in 2023 it still makes sense to work in Affiliate Marketing?
