Paid options such as SEM and paid social ads don\u2019t see the same adoption, with only 20.2% using them.

Affiliates making six figures or more diversify their traffic sources by about 21.56% more than the average. Paid advertising and email marketing are two key areas where they expand, which not only reduces dependency on a single channel but also opens doors to higher revenue potential.
