Affiliate Launch Jacking: What Nobody Tells You
When I first got into affiliate launch jacking, I thought it was the easiest path to quick commissions. Write a review, grab early traffic, done.
But here’s the truth after a few years of doing it:
1. Content burnout is real.
Every launch means cranking out a review, bonus page, emails, maybe even a video. It feels like a treadmill you can’t get off.
2. Competition is brutal.
Dozens of affiliates are promoting the same product. If you’re late or your content looks like everyone else’s, you’re invisible.
3. Short-term results.
Most of the money comes during the launch window, then the traffic vanishes. Pairing launch jacking with evergreen posts (like comparisons or tutorials) makes it more sustainable.
So, does it still work? Yes. But not if you treat it as copy-paste spam. The people who stand out focus on:
-
SEO & E-E-A-T (Google and even AI-driven search care about it now).
-
Adding personal insight or real value.
-
Having a system to publish fast without losing quality.
That last point is where I finally caved and started using launch jacking software. The one I’ve been testing (Launch Dominator) automates most of the repetitive stuff—reviews, emails, bonus outlines—so I can spend more time on the strategy side.
TL;DR: Launch jacking isn’t dead, but the grind will kill you if you don’t streamline. Focus on quality + speed, and don’t be afraid to use tools to help.
