I've been hearing mixed opinions about using native ads for affiliate marketing in 2025. Some say they’re too competitive now, others swear by them. I want to test it, but I don’t know the best way to promote my affiliate links through native. Any advice?

Native works if your creatives are sharp, but the approval processes can be a pain sometimes.

Native ads still work well, but the key is adapting your strategy to modern user behavior. Most people ignore blatant promotions now. You have to blend value with subtle CTAs. I found this breakdown on promoting affiliate links with native ads really helpful — it walks you through campaign structure, how to warm up cold audiences, and ways to track and optimize each variation. With this kind of setup, I’ve been able to lower my CPCs while maintaining strong CTRs. Definitely worth testing in niches like wellness, tech, and finance.
