Anyone here had great results with affiliate marketing sales?

Hi,

I'm new to Bravado. I'm a seasoned sales executive running 2 companies right now and recently I've been trying to break into affiliate marketing. I've tried writing blogs, sharing posts with my affiliate links to niche groups on Facebook and LinkedIn. Has anyone here had success and if so what strategies did you use that returned the best results? Are there certain products you'd recommend more than others? My niche is mostly centered around digital marketing tools, web dev, freelancer tools, and similar products. Would love to hear from you!

Traffic sources: social media, content, SEO, email marketing (building up my list right now).
Verticals: organic traffic, contextual, outbound outreach across multiple platforms, redirects
I have not done anything with paid advertising yet. It is something I've been considering.

Sorry for misunderstanding. By verticals I'm asking are you aggregating and selling traffic to certain consumers offers? Like insurance? Financing? etc.

Oh, nothing like that yet. I don't think I'd have enough data to do that yet. It is interesting you bring that up though because I have performed similar functions for clients. This is very interesting though. Could you expand on this?

I work with affiliate networks that use our platform to buy/sell leads (data). So they'll either have publishers that sell traffic through them to their network of buyers or they could be generating their own traffic and have offers that these publishers are driving traffic to. So many of my clients are in the consumer market segments. Lots of our affiliates are brokering calls or web leads (forms people filled out) to direct advertisers who want to buy those calls/forms from them at a certain price. I think that consumer offers like personal insurance/financing/home services have much higher volume than B2B offers. Hopefully that makes more sense..
