无论是affiliate marketing这个行业的老手还是菜鸟，相信多多少少能从这个报告中获得一些启发和对大方向的把握，站的高才能看得远，毕竟被访谈的人士都是实战派，是真正在这个行业赚钱的牛人。大方向对了，只要自己努力使点劲，喝点汤总是没问题的。

我浏览了一下，总体来说，其实和2019年相比也没有太大的变化，赚钱的垂直市场无非还是那些。Carrier-billing offers（通过运营商扣费的offer）基本已经死掉了。Push AD还行，但是有做烂的趋势。约会（Dating）、减肥、美容、大人用品依旧长青，毕竟这是人性底层需求，一批老了，又有更年轻的需求成长起来，长盛不衰。另外一个趋势就是越来越多的人开始做自己的产品，可能这才是affiliate的最终归途吧，做affiliate赚钱，但是不可控的因素太多，做自己的产品才是最有前途和成就感的。

还有就是STM的这种营销手法也是值得学习的，对各方面都有利，宣传了Affiliate、Affiliate and Traffic Network、还有STM论坛自己，报告同时也是一本销售力很强的电子书，这也是典型电子书病毒营销应用案例。

STM论坛的费用是99美元/月，嫌贵？如果你是新手起步，又想学习钻研Paid affiliate marketing，看看我为VIP会员提供的福利吧！
