So I just got into affiliate marketing like a month ago and honestly I was worried I'd need huge traffic to make anything work. Started with some newbie-friendly CPA networks like OfferVault and MaxBounty, which don't demand much traffic upfront. Joined a couple offers, and surprisingly, I made around 200 bucks in the first two weeks just by sharing some links in niche forums and social groups. No paid traffic, no huge campaigns, just organic outreach and testing. Felt kinda proud lol. I think for absolute beginners who don't have traffic yet, it's about finding the right networks that accept small or no traffic and focusing on organic methods. Anybody else try similar routes? Would love to hear what worked for others starting out.
