Let’s make this painfully clear: Affiliate marketing is not “post a link and retire.”
It’s more like: Help someone → show them something useful → they click → you might get paid.

Now, traffic is just how people arrive at your page.

There are two main ways:

FREE traffic

You don’t pay money.
You pay with time, consistency, and your ego (because the first 10 posts will be seen by your mom and a random bot).

PAID traffic

You pay money to get attention fast.
It’s like putting your offer on a megaphone…
but if your message is messy, you’re basically paying to annoy people quicker.
