hey guys.. i have been thinking about to join affiliate mareting now. but i'm not sure its a good opportunity even in 2026.. it feels like competition is much higher than usual, for someone starting from scratch with little or no experience, is affiliate marketing still worth learning?

i'd really appreciate hearing from people who started recently or are still active in affiliate marketing. What strategies are working for you, and what would you recommend a beginner focus on first?

Yes, it's still worth it, but it's definitely not as easy as it was years ago. If you treat it like a real business instead of a quick way to make money, there's still plenty of opportunity. I'd focus on learning SEO, content creation, and building trust before worrying about sales.

I started about a year ago with zero experience. My first few months were frustrating because I expected results too quickly. Once I picked one niche and stayed consistent, things slowly improved. Patience is probably the biggest lesson I've learned.
