I am also familiar with affiliate marketing and I believe that it is a good idea that should be tested over a longer period in order to measure the response.

I strongly believe that we could build up some serious passive income, which would be paid by those affiliate programs (my priority would be to focus on promoting Binance with ref link).

It is quite simple. All revenue coming from those affiliate programs would be used to buy back STEEM from the market and BURNED (send to @null).

The idea of ​​profit from affiliate marketing that you mention is great if it can be sent to @null and burn steem. I see this as a win-win situation and fully support this idea
