Affiliate marketing has changed dramatically, and I’ve felt it firsthand. With content saturation, shrinking organic visibility on Google, and declining trust, the old playbook of publishing reviews and waiting for rankings no longer works.

In this episode of Marketing Mantra, I share how I’ve adapted my approach to keep affiliate revenue steady in 2025.

You’ll learn:

• Why the old “publish a review and rank on Google” model no longer works

• How I build credibility with proof-driven reviews and real use cases

• Why diversifying into video, email, and other channels is now essential

• Practical examples of affiliate strategies that still work in 2025

If you rely on affiliate marketing, this episode will give you a clear roadmap to stay profitable by focusing on proof, trust, and real value.
