I did a lot of affiliate marketing in the past, I had a couple of template websites where I gave away hundreds of free templates with resale license and also had offers for paid templates from Templatemonsters (not sure).
Got asome nice commissions from that, but this was almost 10 years ago.
Also made some good deals back in the day by buying cheap keywords on Adwords and promoting campaigns with an unrestricted Adwords policy. You know, spend 500 dollars in Adwords and get around 750 dollars in affiliate earnings.
The good ole Adwords days, some people were even seeing more profit than that! Pretty much facebook ads is the new adwords in a sense. I have an affiliate spending $2500 a day and making $4000-5000 a day on a diet product with facebook ads. Just have to know your target audience and the right keywords and you will be sitting on gold!
I was still pretty young at that time, certainly under 18

For me it was a pretty nice amount of money at the time and I'm sure I didn't have everything fully optimized.
I might have to pick it up again and start testing with Facebook ads by the sound of it!
That was a very good accomplishment for being so young! I'd say it would be worth it to give it a go with facebook ads, you'd enjoy the platform seeing all the different targets you can hit. Facebook ads accounts start you with a $50 a day spending limit and they will allow you to spend more every few days of paying your bill so you can scale up.
Yeah, I'll definitely look into that. Do they also have some coupons for first time users? With Adwords it used to be up to 100 euros in Adwords credits you'd get.
I might try it out with some Bitcoin affiliate programs
I actually may have a link bookmarked for a free $50 facebook ads voucher if I find it I'll PM it over to you. If you do decide to get back into affiliate marketing feel free to shoot me a message I could get my team members to assist you in getting some winning campaigns going with our offers

I tried some affiliate marketing back in the day, I made a sale here and there, nothing too big, but it was a nice way to get some extra cash, but then like most people I decided to get a job and I dont have time for it anymore.
It takes time to learn how to do it on your own, but there is so much information out there to get you started. I've personally have used methods off blackhatworld and have had some great success with them.
