Affiliation is totally relevant in 2022 - GoFuckYourself.com

The affiliate model is still completely relevant in 2022

And it is probably the most relevant business model to acquire new customers for any online company.

It's free : you only pay your affiliate if they send actual sales.

Also I noticed I now get contacted by lots of adult traffic sellers, which was not the case even 1 year ago. They MUST look for buyers today in 2022, whereas it was not the case in the previous years.

Bottom line : the affiliate model is the absolute must for any online company and it's here to stay

what do you think ?

I agree. I wouldn't want to do business with someone affiliated with the KKK or the Nazi party...

With companies dropping their affiliate %'s left and right. Not so sure. Creators/influencers are the new affiliates.

I like to hire models with a large social presence. Their traffic is golden. It often repays the rate that I pay them.

some porn programs owners told me that in their opinion, yes the affiliate model is dead.

I'd say in the adult industry it's struggling.

In mainstream, it's thriving and there are lots of opportunities pretty much everywhere

Well as long as they 'told you' that 'in their opinion' thats all that matters

The affiliate business model is far from dead in adult, affiliates that actually know how to market and sell products is where the issue is, they dont exist anymore because affiliate webmasters were pandered to by programs to the point where they didnt need to know how to pre-sell products, they became complacent in wanting the program owners to do all the work for them.

Fhgs, freesites, cheap membership costs, blog posts, rss feeds, etc, etc.... Affiliates today arent even remotely in the same class as we were 10-15-20 years ago, because back then we HAD to know how to sell to the surfers on our sites.

Affiliates grew lazy, programs grew lazy, they stopped supporting affiliate webmasters with educational seminars, weekly chats, etc, during the 'golden age' of porn, these things happened all the time and people made bank, actually SELLING porn, not just throwing any old shit up against a wall and hoping that some it sticks like today

I guess that would depend on how much your mortgage payment is.

Minimum average mortgage payment nationally last year was roughly $1100 a month.

Exactly. I was at a show for art and vr last year. All the companies I spoke with said, well, not all but about 50% said, "Love the work, now what's your social like?" Its the way things are done these days.

And if you reply, my social is non-existent, but my network ranks top 3 for many high converting VR search terms with yearly revenue of xxxxxx$. They tell you to fuck off?

No. Not at all. I know I wouldn't say fuck off. I wasn't pitching affiliate stuff but creative works.

I guess my point was also it appears big companies are handling new artists and affiliate business models in similar ways.

Affiliates are good.

But sites should not fully rely on them (many have).

Affiliates should be seen as a bonus for sales rather 100% of sales.

Many sites I suspect went bust who relied 100% on affiliates, even if they got a lot of sales.

Many invested heavily into content, and they gave 50% of sales away to affiliates. Once you take off the cost of content, hosting and all other costs, many were making a huge loss, even when they were getting many sales.
