It’s too early to know for sure exactly how the global COVID-19 affected affiliate marketing.

We may also have seen an increased appetite for risk and new traders signing up with brokers in response to boredom. The pandemic isn’t over yet and wise affiliates are factoring it into their marketing strategies.
