Social media and its influence on today's culture and the way we communicate and share information cannot be denied. In fact there is much more focus that is pnaced on social media than any other form of communication. Affiliate marketing is a very common thing to see on social media platforms. However, is it a must for affiliate marketing?
Think about this. Before there used to be people that went aroudn from house to house providing demonstrations of new products in order to sell the product and this was considered to be a form of affiliate marketing. Do you think that such an approach would still work in this day and age when everything that we do is run by technology?
I think that it may be a nice way to see demonstrations and give the customer face time with the product that you cannot have online, however the number of people that you can reach is quite limited compared to advertising via social media.
