Looking for alternatives to Amazon's Associates Affiliate program? Amazon recently announced that by April 21st, commissions will be cut drastically, and lots of affiliates are looking for alternatives.
This is especially a tough time for those who relied heavily on Amazon Associates for income. In this video, I talk very little about why this happened, and instead offer a number of alternatives that you may be able to use instead.

Most of all, I think the biggest lesson here is this: when you're playing in someone else's sandbox, and you build businesses on other platforms that have ultimate control over you and your destiny, it can lead to drastic life-changing moments like this. Diversity is key, owning an email list is always recommended, and learning how to best serve that audience, through affiliate recommendations, and offering your own products, can help you stay afloat when certain parts of the system go down.
