Do you plan to spend more or less time on affiliate marketing in 2025?

[MichaelCorfman]

In parts of the world it is already the beginning of a new year, and it will be for all of us within the next few hours. Traditionally the time to reflect on accomplishments in the old year and set goals for the new year.

In looking at your involvement in the affiliate industry, how do your plans for the new year differ from your plans for the past year. Do your plans for the new year mean you will devote more or less time overall to the business in 2025 than you did in 2024? And do you plan to spend your time differently in the new year than you did in the past year?

We ran a similar poll in eight previous years:

Do you plan to spend more or less time on affiliate marketing in 2024?
Do you plan to spend more or less time on affiliate marketing in 2023?
Do you plan to spend more or less time on affiliate marketing in 2022?
Do you plan to spend more or less time on affiliate marketing in 2021?
Do you plan to spend more or less time on affiliate marketing in 2020?
Do you plan to spend more or less time on affiliate marketing in 2018?
Do you plan to spend more or less time on affiliate marketing in 2017?
Do you plan to spend more or less time on affiliate marketing in 2016?

In last year's poll 36% of those responding said they expected to spend a lot more time than they did the year before. I'm curious how that will compare with the results of this year's poll.

I plan to spend a considerable amount of time in 2025 doing more affiliate marketing work, as I'm struggling to an extent now and I intend to find different ways to acquire more new FTDs. The competition is definitely getting a lot tougher, without any doubt.

[PaulEchere]

Definitely more than in 2024, last year has shown that there is more to be looking forward to.

Much as I'd love to put my feet up, I expect it will be a little more than 2024.

I plan to spend more time on affiliate marketing this year. I voted for the "a little more" option because I'm not sure how much, only time will tell, but with the instability I've been experiencing the last few months, I definitely don't see myself working the same amount of time, let alone less.

If you're in the affiliate marketing world you never can take a break. If you do, your competitors will overtake you. When it comes to me, I will have laserfocus on a few of my sites in 2025 and climb in the Google Search for a number of my important keywords.

We launched our online casino site review site last year and plan to spend more time this year getting it off the ground.

The time dedicated to affiliate marketing has been growing every year, and I plan to increase and continue this trend in 2025 as well.

After years in the affiliate industry, I plan to spend a little more time in 2025 than I did in 2024. Last year was about optimizing, and now I’m focused on scaling and testing new strategies. Please let me know if you have any tips and tricks that changed the game for your considering googles last updates completely have changed the game of how affiliate marketing is working.

Plan will be to maximize any spend with minimal cost. Biggest cost will be conferences which are very effective, but not cheap.

The year 2024 was the year I launched my own portal site and began my trials and tribulations. I feel that it was a year in which I struggled to acquire new users due to a lack of SEO studies, let alone affiliate marketing.
This year I am finally getting the flow of running the website and interacting with casinos, and am trying to make progress. 2025 will certainly be a lot more work than 2024.

In 2024, most of my time went into testing traffic sources and chasing short-term wins. In 2025, I’m shifting gears, fewer offers, more focus. I want to build stable funnels around high-LTV verticals and invest more in tracking, content, and long-term partnerships. So yeah, probably the same hours, but spent smarter.
