“2019 was quite the year for affiliate marketers and influencers alike. While the former will be worth $6.8 billion in 2020, the latter may well clock $10 billion in spending. Although the two are viewed and almost used together, they are different and should be discussed as such. The recent growth of influencer marketing is too significant to ignore. It seems like affiliate marketing is either dissolving into influencer marketing, or the entire marketing industry is changing, making it difficult to tell one digital marketing strategy from the other.”

“Knock on enough doors and eventually, someone would say yes to whatever was being offered. The aim was to knock on more doors to get more yeses.
But the savvy caller worked out that if they made small changes to their sales pitch, they didn’t have to knock on quite as many doors to get the same number of yeses. By tweaking what they said, or changing their approach, they could knock on fewer doors and still get the same number of yeses. This was known as their conversion rate and when it started to improve, they discovered they could do less work for the same results.
Let’s transfer this to online sales. Instead of a knock on a door, online marketing relies on visitors to websites. Increase traffic and sales will happen. But instead of only concentrating on driving more traffic, the smart affiliate marketers work on getting more affiliate conversions for the same amount of traffic. This is the equivalent of more yeses for fewer doors.”
