I'm curious ...

What do you find to be the biggest challenge for affiliate marketing?

Everyone claims Affiliate marketing is the easiest way to make money on the web!

But I'm not so sure that's true.

It is certainly easy to get started in affiliate marketing.

Someone else has created the product and the sales pages for you, so all you have to do is market the sales page ...

Or you can use an opt-in page offering a freebie to anyone who joins your list, and then you can market affiliate products to your entire list. Everyone says, The money is in the list, so here your challenge is Building a responsive list.

I believe the biggest challenge is that it is so easy to get started, everyone is trying to market the same thing. In other words, why would someone buy from you versus anyone else selling the same product or service. So the challenge here is Competition.

Another challenge is when you do sell get an affiliate sale, most programs are NOT recurring commission affiliate programs. Instead, most affiliate income opportunities only pay a one-time commission per sale. This means you do all the marketing work, but you only get one commission per buyer ... in most programs.

So I guess the challenge in this case is Insufficient one-time commissions.

The same applies to CPA marketing in most cases.

Please comment to let me know what you think is the biggest challenge to affiliate marketing (and CPA marketing).

Feel free to pick one of the three I mentioned, or supply your own.

Also, if you would like me to explain how you can turn ALL affiliate and CPA campaigns into monthly income even if you never make a single sale, upvote my post. If I get at least 50 upvotes, I will explain it.

BTW, this technique especially applies when you create your own products or sell Private Label Rights (PLR) products.
