Scams plenty for affiliate marketing, aldo no be all of dem but I believe say most of dem na scams. E get one of my friends wey de always spam my WhatsApp with plenty links to dis affiliate marketing and influencers wey de hype about how you go de make up to $50 or more everyday. Some of dem go come up with genuine products and how you go take de make plenty money on top. Dem go collect registration fees and oda fees for materials, dem go even organize seminar, but in di end many perticipants no go benefit anything.

E get a friend wey de very excited say im life go soon change say im don register for seminar to de grow and produce mushrooms for exports. After spending time and money, na later in come understand say person need plenty money to establish in a big way before you go fit to export and make money. But di scam be say di organizers go paint di picture say immediately after di training you go begin to de make money. Dem go give ignorant people false hope and scam dem of di small money wey dem hold.

I one wey dey pain me be say they do collect huge amount funds for there newbies and nothing go sup, year back a close friend of mine way hyping this affiliating marketers telling me to come and register, so did ask him how much was the fees and he said to me it was 30k for starter to me this is to much how, that is in last year  how about now i gust it must have pulled up to 60k just for newcomer.

There is a difference between affiliate marketing, affiliate marketing strategy and selling of courses that helps you become a good affiliate marketer.

Affiliate marketing involves a third-party promoting a merchant's goods or services and receive a percentage of the sales or web traffic made as a result. it's same with what we do in this signature campaign where we drive traffic to the company pages most of us are promoting. I don't think that's scam, as a business person, you understand that Numbers is very important for your business to thrive and you need others to help you gain visibility and reach a brother audience you can't reach on your own and that's where affiliate marketers comes in. You buy there service and pay them commission for bringing a customer and they put in effort to bring customers and the both parties gains from the business. Opay, palmpay, CPA marketers, and literally all successful business collaborate with affillaite marketers to help promote thier product.

Affiliate marketing strategy could be done using ads, running a signature campaign, some might even pay people to spam for them, and a lot of other strategies. For you to know how these strategies works and how to become a good affiliate marketer you need some basic skills and thats where the sales of courses comes in.

The sales of courses is still an affiliate marketing strategy where a company combines key courses that will help one become a better affiliate marketer. The content of the course might might include, how to run ads on all social media platforms and how to make sales and then people's service are taken whose role will be to sell those courses and gain some commission from each sales. After buying the course and going through them, you've gained the knowledge and should go on to execute it and market your product effective or help other market thier product, but unfortunately, most persons would rather opt for the sells of those courses for others just because they are interested in making quick money. But even at that, it doesn't make affiliate marketing a scam.

I know the issue has been that why sell me I course I have to go through  to learn how to sell it to another person who will have to repeat the same process and somehow it's just like our educational system, They teach you all the subjects in school and you're suppose to go into the society to apply it in real life but a lot of people would want to go back into the teaching occupation and continue the teaching circle instead of applying what they've learned in real life.

The strategy some people use in marketing thier product might not be too effective but affiliate marketing has generated a lot of leads and profits for so many companies and that's why it's still very functional in this digital era.

My friend, I no really gbadu you having to call person hustle, especially one of this nature a scam. No naw, e no go well. Affiliate marketing na very legit means to earning for the people way Dey into am. Even having to sell courses too na hustle. If to say, person teach you something and you no con use am to your benefit, you no go blame the person, en don equip you with the skill, na for you to use am.

Oya make we put am this way,
Person no need to Dey successful in a thing for an to be a teacher. When you attend school, you go see teachers and levatires way go teach you how to be this and that way them themselves no even be. Eventually, you go see say, some of there students go attain those heights way them no fit reach. Na so the life just be.

If them teach you how to connect and sell products, e no mean say, you go Dey limited to the information your teacher give you. You too need fine way to improve and better the methods. Make you no forget say, one method Dey cast over time.

Affiliate market no be scam.

While we're being aware of this and understanding the digital marketing being a whole lot sugarcoated outreach, it should be obvious that they're only doing doing that for marketing strategies.
The internet has become a world of untrust that before you take a step, remember there's always potential risks to lost your funds, Privacies or even your precious time.
Quite understanding that digital marketing has dubious interests of the marketers, you'd be turned on never to trust overhyped projects such as influencers running unrealistic Ads as the marketing affiliates or the teases that you can get rich an overnight with a full confidence. It's all lies as scam.

That is just the truth about all these affiliated marketers that claim they are willing to help, and most of all, their target population is the students, because those are the people who are curious to make money in order to sort out their financial problems in the school, but people find it hard to understand that those people are scammers that will just take the money that you gave them for material and registration, which is the money that they will be using to show their students as their profit. Because they will not start any online teaching class unless they have the highest number of people that are interested and are ready to pay, that will increase their confidence to do the class because they will try to get the population that will have a higher interest in themselves. 

So all I will say is let us be very careful with such people who are willing to use other people to get rich, claiming that they are trying to help them while they are not.

We are all familiar with affiliate marketing and majority of us know that most people go into digital marketing just to scam others
Brands or companies won't pay anyone just for posting a review video of their products, it doesn't work that way
But most affiliate marketers claim that they know how to millions just by posting a review
This is a lie, all they want you to do is buy their courses or whatever they are advertising to you
They try to convince you that you can make millions within a few weeks, they call figures that they don't have in their account
There's no digital marketing course out there that can make you rich overnight.
The only way you can get paid for posting a review for a brand is if the brand posts your review videos and it is a view of 30 seconds or more from people, it doesn't stop there, after somebody views and makes a purchase of the product you advertised in the video, only then will you be able to get paid by the brand, you can't get paid by posting review videos only.
This are things that they might not tell you if you are not enlightened
I hope this helps
