Malinowy Inwestor: How to overcome difficulties at the start of affiliate marketing journey

Q: Are you already fully earning from affiliate marketing?

A: Currently, affiliate marketing is my main source of income, it used to be just a way to make extra money while I worked a regular job. But now it has become my primary job, providing me with financial stability. I don’t plan to stop doing affiliate marketing anytime soon because I see many opportunities for growth. Even though I am always looking for new ideas and dreaming of a job that would fully excite me every day, affiliate marketing is a satisfying option for me. Even if I return to a regular job someday, I am happy with what I am doing now.

Q: Why and when did you decide to earn money online? How did you find MyLead?

A: My adventure with earning money online started in 2013 when I came across the zarabiam.com forum. At first, I treated it as an extra source of income, but over time, I began to see its potential as my main source of earnings. The biggest advantage of this job for me is independence - I can decide what to do and when to do it. I found MyLead thanks to the zarabiam.com forum, where information about new affiliate programs worth promoting often appeared. Many people also recommended their offer, which made me want to try it.

Q: You mentioned mentoring: how did your earnings change after using mentoring?

A: Joining the GetPaid 2.0 mentoring program allowed me to double my previous earnings. Although the effects were not immediate, over time, the mentoring helped me develop my skills and new promotion methods. I always thought I could achieve a lot on my own, but the knowledge from the mentoring expanded my horizons. The support from mentors Mysc and Id User was invaluable - I could always count on their help, even with issues not directly covered in the mentoring. A great advantage of this program is that help is available 24/7. However, it is important to remember that the mentor will not do everything for you - they provide guidance, answer questions, and direct you, but it is up to you how to use it. I started by promoting dating offers, which was challenging at first because of the amount of information to learn, but over time, I developed effective methods using the mentors’ advice.

Q: What was the biggest challenge at the beginning of your affiliate marketing journey?

A: The biggest challenge at the beginning was choosing the right program to promote. There are so many that it’s hard to decide which one will be the best at any given moment. Another challenge was the methods and places of promotion. The competition in this field is large and constantly growing, so you always have to look for new sources of traffic to reach potential customers interested in the offer.

Q: How were your first earnings on MyLead?

A: My first earnings on MyLead were quite modest, almost just pennies. However, I was happy with every PLN I earned. At the beginning, my daily earnings were around 20-30 PLN, which was appropriate for the time I spent on this work. Over time, as I started dedicating more time and energy, my earnings began to grow, reaching amounts of 100 - 200 PLN per day.

Q: How many hours a day/week do you work?

A: I spent about 12 hours a day at the computer, including breaks. I don’t have a fixed work schedule - it all depends on my motivation and willingness to work.

Q: What do you think is the future of affiliate marketing?

A: Affiliate marketing is developing very quickly, and I see a big future in it. Reaching customers directly is key, and with widespread internet access, there are many potential customers. This creates huge earning opportunities. 

Q: Which program are you currently promoting? Do you have any plans to change categories?

A: Currently, I am promoting dating programs on a CPL basis. I think it’s one of the most popular topics to promote and a great choice for beginners. All you need is a simple website and a presence on social media, such as a fan page or group. There are many potential customers, both in Poland and abroad, but it’s crucial to provide high quality traffic to avoid getting campaigns blocked. I have experienced myself, so now I focus on traffic quality. I mainly promote on Facebook, creating fan pages and groups. I also plan to promote bank accounts and contests, but first, I need to build the right infrastructure.

Q: The best memory related to affiliate marketing?

A: It’s hard to choose just one best memory related to affiliate marketing. I have definitely learned many new skills, such as creating websites, SEO, and a practical approach. These skills are also useful in my daily life, which is very valuable to me.

Q: How has your life changed since you started earning from affiliate marketing?

A: Affiliate marketing gives me the independence I value a lot. I can decide what and when I want to promote and how to do it. I also learn self-discipline, which is sometimes difficult, but I don’t give up.

Q: Any piece of advice for beginner publishers?

A: At the beginning of my affiliate journey, I was very skeptical, especially seeing the number of people doing it. However, as you can see, anyone can benefit from it. The most important thing is not to give up at the start. Affiliate marketing may not be for everyone, but it’s worth trying to see how it works in practice. Sometimes the results come after a few weeks or even months. Promotion methods are constantly changing, so you need to test new options. It’s best to choose a category in which you have some knowledge or that interests you.
