Why is affiliate marketing considered one of the easiest ways to start earning online?

It's considered easy since the main tasks are: - Finding a good product to promote. - Creating content (blog, video, post). - Placing your affiliate link. Anyone can start it from home with a laptop and internet. The real challenge is competing with others in the same niche.

Affiliate marketing is seen as easy because the cost is low. But honestly, it’s not that easy in practice. You still need to learn marketing skills like SEO, copywriting, and audience building. So while the entry is easy, getting consistent earnings is not.

Because you don’t need to build your own product, manage shipping, or handle customer service. You only focus on promoting. That reduces the entry barrier a lot. Many platforms even allow free sign-up, so the risk is minimal.

I think affiliate marketing is called “easy” because you don’t need to invest huge money like in physical businesses. A website, some writing, or even free social media posts can get you started. Many beginners find this less scary compared to launching a startup.
