Do you know why many people think that affiliate programs do not work and they are a waste of time! Because they tried it and failed to gain any profit from it.
They failed but this is not because those programs do not work, rather, it's because the don't know how to make them work.
Most of them share their links on popular groups, forums.. but they forget that most of the followers of those groups are not interested in gambling. They Wil simply skip your link and even if some of them will click on the link and register on the casino, only one or two will make a deposit.
But if you target a gambling community, even if it's smaller in numbers, then you will have better chances to get more loyal referrals
So many people fail in running affiliate programs, and it's because they haven't found a method that works for them. They only know how to spread their affiliate links on forums, popular groups, or social media, but they may not have found good ways to promote, so they can't make money from affiliate programs. It will depend on what you want to promote, where you share the affiliate link, and what methods you can use.
One has to keep trying and looking for ways that are different from others so that it can make them successful in affiliate programs.Maybe this is really what we have to do, keep trying. I, for one, have dropped the idea years ago, but seeing your post I started thinking "Why not?". I have almost 3k followers on twitter so I can try to spread my ref link. But this is what happened:
I tried several times with the same result. Maybe twitter won't allow you to tweet your ref link? After adding a space here "https: //freebitco.in/~" it worked, but then it's not exactly a link, right? There are 6 views in the first 5 minutes. Let's see how it turns out.
