Hello, community! Keeping up with modern trends is almost the primary task for any respectable affiliate. This year has one very distinctive feature that we cannot ignore – the all-encompassing crypto frenzy. Most of the time, it feels like some sort of chaos. But for us, it’s a potential profit opportunity that cannot be overlooked.
Before we start, let us remind you that we’ve already discussed why you should drive traffic to crypto offers. Enjoy reading!
What Are Cryptocurrency Offers?
In the world of affiliate marketing, crypto is represented as a separate and independent vertical. This includes all offers directly or indirectly related to cryptocurrency: exchanges, exchangers, trading courses, hot and cold wallets, or even mining farm rentals.
The main advantages of this vertical are:
- It is relatively new, which means it is constantly evolving, providing new ways to generate profit;
- This industry involves massive amounts of money, which directly reflects on the commissions offered by advertisers.
The only downside is the high level of competition, which is obvious. Even though crypto is a fascinating and seemingly popular topic, it has remained quite niche, at least in specific GEOs.
However, it is currently one of the biggest hypes of the year. Crypto has attracted millions of new users, the market has grown, and now is the perfect time to start driving traffic! But why this year specifically, and is this phenomenon merely temporary? Let’s analyze everything that has happened with crypto recently.
Why Is 2024 the Best Year to Drive Traffic to Crypto?
Let’s start with the precursors. The most significant event in crypto this year was expected to be the Bitcoin halving.
Bitcoin halving is a predictable and even programmed event where the mining reward for BTC is halved. Miners expend nearly the same resources, but their reward is cut in half by Bitcoin’s code. As a reminder, we’ve already covered this in a dedicated review.
Halving always draws the public’s attention to cryptocurrency because:
- Bitcoin’s value increases rapidly due to scarcity;
- Alongside Bitcoin, the value of most other coins, or altcoins, also rises.
These two factors create a media buzz. As a result, the industry attracts a large number of small investors, often referred to as “hamsters.”
Speaking of hamsters, this is both the best and the worst thing that has happened to crypto recently. The best, because we now have literally tens of millions of unprocessed leads ready to be converted. The worst, because it’s starting to resemble the infamous bubble that Bitcoin was once accused of being.
What Are Tap-to-Mine Games?
This year’s main FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) for many crypto enthusiasts is undoubtedly Notcoin. The Telegram coin, earned by tapping on a smartphone screen, seemed like little more than an uninteresting game. Tap-to-mine – the algorithm behind it – gives this genre its name, “tap games.” Initially, the game inside the bot was the main attraction. But that’s just the surface.
Diving deeper, we encounter TON, not just Telegram’s coin but a full-fledged blockchain network, comparable to Tron or Ethereum. Based on this, one could predict that Notcoin could be sold for at least $2-3, depending on the volume of coins earned. But how can something you earn by tapping a screen have any value? People once played such games for fun and even paid for them – remember “Clicker” games?
What happened in the end? Notcoin made it to a listing, where people could buy and sell it. At its peak, it was worth 3 cents – a whole 3 cents per tap (not exactly, due to rounding and other factors, but for effect, let’s say 3 cents per tap).
Currently, Pavel Durov himself is investing in this coin, emphasizing its seriousness. So, in the future, Notcoin might be worth even more (but don’t take this as a forecast).
Exploiting the Notcoin Hype
After Notcoin’s success, the “chaos began.” But not in a train compartment – in the online world. And yes, chaos it is.
The most popular example today is the so-called “hamster.” We intentionally don’t reveal its real name, and you’ll see why. What’s wrong with this tap game?
Let’s start with its name, which reflects how its creators view players. And this isn’t surprising. Whenever you see someone treating others condescendingly, it reeks of certain origins. The same is true here.
The “hamster” is a completely dubious project. If this isn’t enough reason to avoid even opening their bot, then where have you been for the past 10 years? Or at least the last 2+ years.
The chances of earning even $1 from “hamster” are extremely slim. However, driven by FOMO, which we’ve already mentioned, many people genuinely believe this is still the last train. Even though the train has long gone.
The “hamster” is just an example, albeit a striking one, as its community of news followers exceeds 34 million. Most of them are not even registered on exchanges or have any crypto wallet. And that’s what interests us the most.
Why Is 2024 the Best Year to Drive Traffic to Crypto?
The Bitcoin halving and the tap-to-mine phenomenon are two key factors contributing to the significant growth of the crypto-enthusiast community. Even more attention is being drawn from ordinary users who previously used their smartphones solely for watching TikToks with conspiracy theories, but now they are crypto investors.
These “crypto investors” are our potential leads. Today, the volume of this traffic is unprecedented. The “hamster” was mentioned only as an example. There are many similar projects with large communities of people who do not yet have crypto wallets.
If you are currently driving traffic to crypto, your evaluation of the current situation is important to us: has the number of leads increased recently, or is it more or less the same? Share your experience in our Telegram community; it will be very helpful for the entire affiliate community!
As always, with respect, your Geek!
