Amit,

Look at mail order DRTV (infomercials, etc) all of them have become more competitive. Thats OK. I think one of the best things to do as you grow in your expertise, especially along a niche, is to think beyond the traditional AM model. Could you: 1) take the offer to tv, radio, or mail? 2) create or license your own product that you could use as an upsell? 3) capture the email before a customer goes onto the offer with a free give away, and get into the list building business? 4) look to new venues - what are you doing with mobile ads in our business? At the end of the day, AM is still marketing - getting people to buy through a combination of media. Stay open to the possibilities!

But if you think this is tough, you ought to try commodities trading! The prospect of easy money attracts players, which dilutes the opportunity. You won't have to be super innovative, just more innovative than average. It reminds me of a joke. Two hikers are headed into grizzly bear country, when one of them pauses to exchange his boots for running shoes. The other hiker says, "What are you doing that for, you can't run faster than a grizzly." The first one says, "I don't have to run faster than a grizzly, I just have to run faster than you!" Take care, You are quite right. But if you think this is tough, you ought to try commodities trading! The prospect of easy money attracts players, which dilutes the opportunity.

I'm already using (or plan to use) several of the strategies that you mention. But my point is that no matter what strategy you're using (unless it's super innovative) is going to face more and more competition. For example, some affiliates are making a killing making viral facebook apps embedded with affiliate offers. However, a year from how it's going to be much harder to succeed with that model as more and more competitors flood facebook with aps. Hi Walter,

There are a lot more possibilities than just settling for razor-thin margins and becoming PPC day-traders: . In super-competitive markets like mortgages some affs are advertising in newspapers, which gets better ROI than paying Google; . Some affs may settle to break even or lose on the initial offer in favor of building a list and making it back on the back end; . I've seen some make the jump from PPC to SEO'd sites, though that will also get more competitive over time; . The content network is an underutilized resource, for those that understand how to get results from it; . There's Authority sites and how to leverage Web 2.0 to get traffic without going near search engines or PPC. Interesting post, but a rather shallow analysis of how to succeed in such a climate.

My ROI is between 90-100%. I find a lot of affiliates don't properly optimize their campaigns, as a results they get a much lower ROI. Hi Chris,

I also would update it about4-5 times a month with more marketing to ensure it's success. After a while of heavy marketing, I agree to let it sit on autopilot after showing it’s potential.
