Affiliate marketing is experiencing a significant boom in the 21st century. What are the primary reasons for such an exponential growth?

I think the prime mover is that businesses discovered CPA:

1. As a fixed cost marketing solution with the affiliates bearing the marketing expense; as well as,
2. gaining long-term brand recognition as a result of affiliate advertising in some cases.
3. In other cases where the CPA affiliate is active in social media there may be a lift gained by better familiarity with the brand within that influncers realm.

CPA is just a lower cost per sale and customer acquisition solution.

The main benefit to affiliates is a easier access to possible income, with certain risks transferred to them such as advertising costs and other sales marketing; SEO, Social Media. Look towards associating yourself as an affiliate with businesses that are not greedy and pay a CPA of 50% to 70% of that product's profit to you. You need to be able to justify your conversion expense, in both money spent and time invested in reaching the CPA goals.

Affiliate Marketing is booming in the 21st century because this century is the digital century. The digitalisation of the world has made it so easy for every to share anything to anyone. Through social media now you can know about anyone's taste, choice and about their interests. Which makes it so easy for anyone to refer a product according to their preference.

Through social media now you can know about anyone's taste, choice and about their interests.

That's why I seldom visit Facebook and ignore the ads I see at X and reddit. This whole business of 'personalization in advertising' is going to implode eventually I think.
