Affiliate Marketing vs Digital Products - What's the Best Way to Make Money Online In 2026

It's a sizzling topic online right now - What is the best way to make money online in 2026: Affiliate Marketing OR Digital Products?

In today's episode I add my take which is thinking differently than most. As a business consultant I think from the end rather than the beginning and after you listen to this episode you'll understand how to do that too.

Thinking this way helps to prevent burn out and it builds a more sustainable and scalable business that is a SELL-ABLE ASSET.

Affiliate marketing involves marketing other people's products for a commission. Whereas selling digital products is developing your own products and marketing them.

On the surface affiliate marketing seems like the better option because it leverages someone else's hard work to develop; however, you'll soon see that is not all that it is cracked up to be after you are managing multiple affiliate product pipelines. But, I don't rule out affiliate marketing completely either!

With my Rosebush Effect method (which I explain in the episode) you'll see how to truly come out winning by leveraging more than one strategy and exactly how to do it in a way that does not burn you out!
