Loved your reply Hive account@contentking. But totally disagree with you about using Steemit for affiliate marketing. I have been on Steemit for about a month and wondering where the affiliate marketers are. I think that a platform like Steemit would be great for weeding out the bad (unethical) marketers.

It is affiliate marketers like you who should be more out there. That is one way that people can distinguish the wheat from the chaff.

In addition, I would like to express to Hive account@stellabelle that because of her character, personality, and integrity, she would also be a much-appreciated contributor to affiliate marketing. Get out of your comfort zone and do it! You said it yourself, that you actually do research projects and companies.

Even if all you share is what you personally use and/or invest, that would be a great help to those of us who follow you and trust you. You don't have to be a salesperson, that isn't you (thank goodness!). There is a certain sense of achievement in making part of your income from affiliate marketing when it's coming from being honest, ethical, and true to yourself. Honestly, give it a try. We would appreciate your input.
