Question
I have a gaming website that has 20,000 daily active users, all from US. They spend an avg of 15 mins on the site and are highly engaged.
I've never done affiliate marketing before so is it a good idea for my website?
Thanks!
Answer
Rather than going through an affiliate bank, I'd look for individuals who create products that would be valuable to your community and partner with them directly. In the digital space, many affiliates offer 50%, so you'll earn a lot more. The products are also more likely to be relevant and high-quality, so your community actually appreciates you sharing them.
You might also consider reviewing products on your blog that are relevant for your readers. We do this on The Write Life, and it works well for us: http://thewritelife.com/resources/
