It’s normal to have your reservations concerning affiliate marketing in the coming year. Privacy is one topic that’s taken newer turns over the last few years, and no one can objectively predict the next trend for affiliate marketing in 2022.
However, most of the turbulences happen with the “big boys”. For example, Facebook and Apple make the most significant decisions for advertisers, but that’s because they’ve got more at stake.
For someone who uses affiliate marketing as a passive income, you’ll be fine for the next few years in the industry. You also have experience (3-4 years, according to you) on your side, so you can better adapt to any new changes along the way.
