I have seen some people that have only one down as affiliate marketers and they are not making any attempt to make any improvement to that situation, this could be the reason why some people see affiliates as a waste of time.
I think you're on point to that considering being an affiliate means you need to have good connections across most industries. What I mean on across industries is that anywhere you'll find a gambler, they might not be seen on their physique but we have lots of gamblers. These days to be an affiliate means you need to try all platforms where you will need those links, you'll never know who you might end up convincing.
To keep referring people to the platform that we want to rwrn from need us to act like an influencer even though we are nit one. Getting referrals can be very difficult but those that knows how to go about there ways will not have a problem about earning from it. There might be other ways too that we can get referrals to bet on the casinos that we intended to earn some referrals from but it all depends on us how we intend to do that. If we have lots of friends, that wil make work more easier for us to achieve and earn from the casino.
If you find a good trusted casino and try to earn using it, this should be it. There are many people in this industry who are earning large commissions through affiliate marketing, but those with smaller networks and less experience usually lag behind. If a gambler has a good gambling experience and has the ability to influence people, they can actually refer their friends to that casino. So it's not just about having friends, building a network requires having the ability to interest and influence them.
Good marketing skills must be possessed by someone who wants to become an affiliate of a site. And not many people have that ability. Some time ago, I followed an influencer on his social media, he was a person who rose because of some of his joke content. After a while I followed him, and when I saw the stories he made on his social media, I found out that he was also an influencer promoting a gambling site, and I noticed he was getting a lot of new users. One of the things he did was that when someone won on the site he was promoting he made a new user win through his story too, well from there I saw that it was a form of strategy he did by taking advantage of someone's victory, indirectly some people might be more interested and register on the references he spread.
