digital marketing DM/Affiliate marketing AFM success stories UK

[Inmyforties1980]

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to get some insight.
Has anyone successfully started a DM or AFM online business?
My successful is making £500 + per day everyday.

Care to share? How long really did it take? Did you take a course? Do you resell?

Is it just bullocks? Selling a dream ? Is it an online pyramid scheme?

I'm 44. I am a "professional" who struggles with rent and the rest. I have a degree and a master's yet I can't pay my bills. Should have known better than to be a teacher.

Help. Please.

This is a great question as we see so many out there. If you love your job though it might be hard to move away from it just for the money factor

Hi x
I definitely do not love my job. At all. Being a teacher is mentally, physically and vocally draining.

Need a way out.

I’m interested in this world too. I started creating affiliate links for newsletters I send out as a way to monitise a community I’ve built. But that is the key thing - you have to have a community that you’ve built that will buy into what you are offering.

Im a digital marketer by trade and there are plenty of jobs out there. If I wanted to freelance and help someone with their marketing I could, but like any business you need to have your clients, know what you’re offering and be of genuine value.

You must have plenty of transferable skills as a teacher though. Have you ever thought of tutoring? Helping parents to better understand the curriculum? There must be other industries you could go to.

Yes, total Bullocks

The way the school system currently is and how a lot of children are slipping through a very wide net, is there scope to create a business whereby you bring education to kids who are struggling? Obviously outwith the main system but is there anything like being a tutor and having a dedicated niche you could be active in?

Where I stay there are kids who don't cope or engage well in some classes throughout the school day and end up being referred to a 'hub'. This keeps them in school and avoid truancy. What they do in that time whilst there I feel isn't meeting their educational needs. Is there something there you could offer?

Thank you all for your advice. This has given me something to think about. Maybe I could and should do something with my degree and experience but out of the classroom. Tutoring is great the doesn't pay the bills.

I have been thinking about the home schooling avenue and how I can help parents help their children -which is what @Orangeandgold suggested or like @WatermelonLou said about children in hubs where need aren't met.

Maybe I should start a new thread asking what parents want for their children that "aren't thriving" in mainstream.
Thank you all so much.💖❤️

I always follow the maxim if it looks too good to be true it usually is.
I follow some folk on tiktok who "re-sell". The ones that make money are obviously grafters - you can tell from their videos in cold looking lockups with neatly labellled boxes.

Then there are the others who are trying to sell you a "course" on how to do stuff. I'm sceptical of those.

I'm a qualified accountant who runs a small art gallery (with DW). Yes, we sell some paintings - we have sold two this week. I could have done a video of us packaging them up to give the impression they fly out of the door.

With regard to affiliate marketing - if you are just talking about a product with a clickable link on your page, I can't imagine that would be great sales unless you had a really good set up and "schtik".

I do social media for our gallery - and it does get easier, but I need to work in becoming a bit less dull.

Thing is, I was never a Jack the Lad or comic, so you can't really fake it, can you,

I started seeing real progress once I stopped chasing quick hacks and focused on slow-and-steady systems. Looking at how a marketing agency builds traffic through solid SEO and data helps a lot, even if you’re doing everything solo. I borrowed that mindset for my funnels and content, and it made things way more predictable. Hitting £500 days sounds like you’ve already cracked a good chunk of it.

A lot of marketing is going AI now
