Email marketing for affiliate offers - still worth it or dead?

yo been messing with email promos lately and man its so confusing. like i used to kill it before with opens at 30-40% and clicks hitting 10+ easy but now im struggling to even hit 15% opens and ctr is like 2-3% its rough. tried diff niches different sequences still getting trash results. one network paid me around 500 last month but the open rate was 8% and clicks under 1% like seriously? i hear ppl say email is still king but mine feels dead or just impossible. anyone actually have proof its still working or should i just quit and try paid traffic or smth. tbh it feels like a wasteland right now maybe im missing some secret trick? would love some real feedback or strategies that actually work nowadays
 
Yep exactly email can feel dead but one thing that still kinda works is cleaning your list like crazy and sending targeted, personalized offers rather than blasting everyone with the same promo. Like really hone in on who actually cares instead of just sending to a huge list and hoping.
 
ngl last month I was kinda in the same boat, open rates just tanked no matter what I tried. But then I wondered if I was still sending the same kind of promos I used to when open rates were higher. Do you think maybe the audience is just burned out or is it really that the game has changed that
 
totally agree, list hygiene is key, but also gotta test new angles and subject lines constantly, what worked last year might flop now.
 
Man, email's like that ex who suddenly forgot how to text back, huh? Ever try using SparkPost or Mailgun's validation tools to clean your list better? Might be worth it to see if less bounce rates boost those open and click numbers.
 
Honestly, last month I was about to give up on email too, thinking it was dead. Then I started experimenting with super personalized stories and it kinda revived my open rates. Ymmv, but have you tried adding more personal stuff instead of just promos?
 
Sounds like you're hitting the same wall no matter what, bro. Maybe it's time to pivot to fresh offer angles or new list sources, smh.
 
Honestly I think it's more about the damn inbox fatigue people got now, no matter how fresh your offer is, if everyone is just ignoring emails, your open rates are gonna tank unless you really nail the targeting or get lucky with some warm traffic.
 
last month I tried switching up niches and even tweaked my sequences but results stayed trash, so I dunno if new angles or lists alone will fix it. Sometimes it feels like inbox fatigue is just crushing everyone, no matter what. Honestly, I think the game changed a lot, but not dead. You gotta get smarter with deliverability and segmentation now
 
Been doing this 3 years, and yeah inbox fatigue is real but not dead. Some niches just get tougher, no doubt. But I've seen campaigns that still crush it if you get hyper-targeted and personal. No magic secret, just gotta stay sharp and test like crazy.
 
You really think targeting is the key rn or just luck? I feel like even hyper-targeted emails get ignored sometimes. Maybe it's just about how you present it?
 
just my 2 cents, but that 8% open rate and less than 1% clicks sounds like your list or targeting might be dead or just burned out. Unless your email copy is 100% on point, it's unlikely you'll see any ROI. might be time to dump that list and start fresh or try different offers, but don't expect magic
