Affiliate marketing can be hit-or-miss if the program isn’t transparent about payouts. I tried a few generic campaigns and found the dashboards confusing, payment thresholds were too high, and support was slow. Ideally you want a program that rewards ongoing traffic, not just first deposits, and provides detailed reports on referrals, conversions, and geographic breakdown. It’s worth paying close attention to how they track your links and how soon they pay out.
