HelloZ
Welcome to the week that’s taking you from April (what?!) to May (how?!). The weather’s been gorgeous and while that’s obviously a very awesome thing for many/most, it’s also a big reality check. How so? Glad you asked. No more layers. No more sweatshirts. No more hibernating your body. It’s the season to bare all and be bare and, well, I don’t think I’m alone in feeling like I’m not exactly ready for that. Sigh.
Speaking of shit you’re not ready for: Baby Reindeer. Have you seen it? It’s wildly disturbing and the mere knowledge that it’s based on someone’s actual life makes me feel some type of way. It’s one thing to have these movies where a writer thinks of this messed up stuff and you’re like "how did that come into their brain though?” You know, kind of like Squid Games. But it’s quite another to have this actual shit happen to someone in their lives. AND THEN be relived as well! What did you think of it?

I don’t know about you, but when it comes to reading, I am a sucker for a good statistic. If you are too, well, I’ve got 17 billion reasons to keep reading today’s post!
I scoured the World Wide Web to hunt down what I found to be some of the most compelling stats for affiliate marketing in 2024. After visiting about 18,000 blog posts and websites, I landed on these as my favorites. For now, anyway. I collected these from various industry reports and articles from Awin, Pepperjam, Forrester, Business Insider and others. There are soooo many more out there (and I will probZ expand this post at some point!), but to me, these are the most relevant at the moment. They do a particularly good job of painting the state of the affiliate industry in 2024 with facts and figures that really indicate how the world of affiliate is growing and maturing. Plus juicy stats always provide great conversation starters for introducing someone to the world of affiliate marketing. (Hello, pitch deck!)
Ready? Of course you are, LET’S GO!
