Do you think its a viable business model to legit just run paid traffic to affiliate offers and scale as much as possible.

No need for buying inventory upfront, fullfillment, customer service, accounting, product design... just need to create good ads and that's it.

Yes, as long as you focus on high ticket commissions and/or recurring commissions.

Thank you sir, if you don't mind me asking one final question

When you say high ticket commissions, do you mean:

Selling high ticket items (trying to sell things that cost more than $1000)

or

Products with relatively high commissions (ex. A supplement that costs $80 and you get a $60 commission)

High commissions on expensive items is ideal.

Also keep in mind if you're only doing paid traffic only it'll be hard sell the business.

Buyers pay for things they can't replicate quickly (email list, organic rankings, links, etc.)

Much appreciated for the very informative response.

As you say in this post, "damn I wish I would have done this sooner" I really wish I had!

For sure, I can see how you can sell a blog/review site but selling a paid traffic affiliate business would be nearly possible due to the points you mentioned.

SEO only is a long, very long wait for any results. You're 100% spot on.
