At the end of the year, we traditionally turn to our resident astronomer for predictions for the coming 2025. What does the next revolution of the Earth around the sun have in store for us, what are the trends, what tendencies? We ask the man in the pointed cap and the robe decorated with stars about these important things.
I knew you wouldn’t learn to tell the difference between astronomy and astrology in a year, so I drew a sign at the entrance: “No Predictions.” Wait, or was I just going to do that and never draw it? Well, that’s my fault. Then listen up! Next year will see an increase in the use of AI tools in affiliate marketing! What do you mean I said the same thing last year? So what? Do you think that the arrival of a new year according to the Gregorian calendar cancels out all the events of the previous year?
Okay, I get it, you want me to come up with something new? Well, listen, this is not fair. We’ve been told roughly the same thing about influencers for the last ten years, and every year it passes as a prediction. And the same goes for video content, micro-niches, and cross-platform stuff. And then you come to me a year later and say that none of this came true, but for some reason you ask me to repeat it all over again.
Of course I’m annoyed! Especially because you’ve distracted me from contemplating the personal lives of the gas clouds in the constellation Cygnus. They’re having such a dramatic turn in their relationship… Why don’t you ask me about it?
Okay, I know you won’t leave me alone until I compile a rank list. Write it down.
- Subscription and recurring subscription offers.
This is what everyone loves. By the way, we have already set the time and written a whole article about subscription offers. So if you need more information on this issue, contact a signature collection specialist.
Top offers with subscription
- Snake biting its own tail
And add here fully digital content that is sold in the digital world. What does the expansion of the all-digital segment mean for affiliate marketing? No shipping, reduced hold times, fast payouts. Haven’t we all dreamed of such a future?
- Dynamic Commission Structures
Flexible commission models based on performance, customer lifetime value, or tiered achievement. It seems like all this should already be in place, but unfortunately progress doesn’t always move as fast as we would all like. Well, in the coming year, I hope we will finally see changes, thanks to better automation and data collection.
- Enhanced Affiliate Tracking and Attribution
And one thing leads to another. It would be possible to combine this in one paragraph, but where have you seen tops consisting of four points? Improved tracking tools should help affiliates attribute conversions more accurately, ensuring fair payouts and better insights into effective strategies. Honestly, I don’t know how possible this is, after all, I’m just an astronomer, not an IT specialist. But we would all really like this.
- Voice Search Optimization
Well, and lastly, I hope. What can I say that would sound prophetic and neutral at the same time? Oh, I came up with it. Voice search! They seem to have become more convenient, people have more or less gotten used to using them and are no longer embarrassed to shout into their smartphones in public. In vain, of course, but affiliates should be ready to optimize for voice search queries to tap into a growing segment of voice-driven e-commerce.
And finally the last prediction or rather wish. I hope you will learn to distinguish astronomers from astrologers next year. Although there is very little hope for this, we all want to hope for the best. Good luck to you in the new year!
