More than 85 percent of people who start affiliate marketing fail While some Nigerians are crushing this business model and making a good amount of money weekly. Now, my question is this: Is this business model a scam?

The answer is no; there are three main reasons why more than 85 percent of affiliate marketers fail:

(i) Many people venture into it with a get-rich-quick mentality, so they are not patient enough to learn the skills that will make them successful affiliate marketers.

(ii) Many affiliate marketers are lazy and are not consistent in their marketing efforts.

(iii) Wrong information or mentorship.

So if you are really serious about making money with affiliate marketing, reach out to someone who has done it and succeeded, and be willing to put in at least 4 hours of work daily.
