Affiliate marketing has been slowly changing and continues to do so. Life and work are no longer as simple as they used to be. Today, the market has moved from chaotic partnerships to a structured performance infrastructure. Let's take a closer look at what to pay attention to in 2026 in order to earn money and not lose out. The CPS era At first, everything was simple: with the CPS model, income is straightforward: there is a purchase, and there is a commission. No purchase — no payment. But it worked before.

Meta officially talks about user safety and trust in the platform. And this is not just a formality. All this is done to prevent fraud, manipulation, and toxic content. The company has implemented a comprehensive system of advertising policies.

Attention is what everyone’s fighting for in 2026. Not data. Not traffic. Not even budgets. What really matters is whether you can earn a user’s attention — and, just as importantly, what they do after you get it. Selling hasn’t changed that much: you still need a real person who actually wants what you’re offering. Sounds simple. In practice, it rarely is. Every click today costs money. Packed feeds and ever-louder formats teach users to scroll past anything that feels like hype without substance. Getting noticed is expensive. Turning that moment into action costs even more. And when a user disappears after the first touchpoint, it’s not just annoying — it breaks the economics. Before diving into affiliate-driven retention strategies, it’s worth pausing on one hard fact. Bringing in a new player now costs several times as much as keeping...

What worked yesterday is most likely dead today. It is more difficult to attract an audience, methods are outdated, and governments are introducing new restrictions. Artificial intelligence is also becoming both a competitor and an ally. So what should we do? Let's find out together! Audiences want video, not text Users are less likely to read long texts and more likely to consume short video content. This also applies to advertising: text teasers are losing out to dynamic videos on almost all platforms. TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts are becoming the main sources of traffic. Classic landing pages with a “wall of text” are gradually being replaced by interactive formats — mini-games, quizzes, and storytelling in stories. Even in messengers, users are more likely to choose voice messages and video responses instead of text. Traffic has become fast, superficial, and...

We are used to believing that the more plans, control, discipline and “correct” rituals, they automatically lead to development.
