I had an idea to write an article about the most common reasons why you might fail in affiliate marketing. There are a bunch of reasons. I’m sure you already had experience with some (or most) of them. But then I thought - why not write all this as a joke? Here it comes…

Don’t learn the basic terms​

Click ID, Click-Through Rate, CPA, CPM, CPL, CPA, RevShare, SOI, DOI, Frequency Capping, … There are just too many terms!

Don’t waste time on learning all of them. What’s the worst thing that can happen? Your account manager can ask you a question about your campaign performance and you won’t understand a sh*t they are saying 🙂

Also bidding on CPV or CPM is not the same. You can learn more about that or find out the hard way. Try bidding $1 CPV and $1 CPM (and don’t set a $100 daily budget in your campaign settings).

Don’t use a tracker​

Trackers are expensive. Don’t use a tracker. That way you won’t know which segment is performing well, and which one doesn’t. You won’t know what to cut, and where to scale. You won’t know

Tóm tắt
The article humorously highlights common reasons for failure in affiliate marketing, such as not learning basic terms, ignoring the importance of trackers, and not understanding the differences between bidding strategies. It suggests not wasting time on learning terms and not using a tracker to save money, which can lead to poor campaign performance. The author presents these points in a joking manner, emphasizing the importance of understanding key concepts and tools in affiliate marketing to avoid failure.
