In this episode, I talk openly about a problem I constantly hear from my students and beginners in affiliate marketing: getting rejected by affiliate programs.

Many newcomers believe that if they simply want to promote a company’s products, they should be accepted automatically. In reality, most applications are rejected — even from experienced marketers.

Why does this happen?

Affiliate companies make massive profits through Parasite SEO and organic traffic, yet they are extremely selective about who they allow to promote their offers. In this episode, I explain:

  • Why affiliate programs reject beginners

  • What companies actually look for before approving partners

  • Why “no experience” is not the real reason for rejection

  • How transparency, positioning, and proof of work change everything

  • What you must demonstrate to earn the right to promote well-known brands

This episode is about being realistic, building credibility, and understanding how affiliate programs think. If you want long-term success in affiliate marketing, approvals don’t come from promises — they come from visibility, discussion, and results.

If you’ve been rejected before, this episode will help you understand why — and what to do next.
