One of the most damaging things that can affect you as an online marketer is allowing your fears to take hold and decide where your future lays.

If you allow this to happen then said goodbye to your goals in life in the online world this also apply you’re your life in general but here I will focus just with the online world you are currently involved in.

As an affiliate marketer particular those recently new to the online world there will be many fears you may face along the way.

This is natural when you are starting and along the way you will face many different types of obstacles.

Some of which if you don’t overcome your fears early can easily take a hold of you and hold you back from progressing forward with what you are working on with your website.

I am not sure if this is for me I have never done this before and have no experience online.

Certainly this is an issue for many when first starting out online and never done anything like this before.

Remember even the supper affiliates here in WA started at the beginning just like you and many have never done this before either.

I will give you one example which I know he won’t mind

Eric Cantu was a fireman (thank you for that Eric) and joined WA back in 2017 he had no experience and no clue about affiliate marketing let alone working online. Yet he persisted and went through the training here just like you.

Be the end of the year through his hard work and positive attitude and of course there will always be some failures and setbacks along the way managed to overcome his fears if this will be a success.

What happened next by the end of the year his got invited by Wealthy Affiliate to the Las Vegas convention they hold each year for their super affiliates?

Do you think he would have gotten to where he is today if he allowed his fear of is this going to work or I have no experience creating a website let alone making money online?

No, he persisted and believed in himself as well as the training giving to him like you.

Because of this he is able to give himself a pat on the back and well deserved too.

He overcame the many doubts along the way any mistakes that were made he learned from them and fixed what went astray and moved forward.

Now not only was he invited to his first WA conference in his first year but has gone to many since.

He is making a great living online how much? That’s none of my business nor should it be.

Just by getting to the conference each year is enough to show he is making money online and no longer needs to work as a fireman.

He is able to travel around the world and will state he owes all his success to WA because of the training given.

This can be the same with you, follow and apply what is taught and when you hit a snag (and you will) find out what went wrong, and look for ways to fix it.

You should already know you don’t’ have to go it alone.

Here in Wealthy Affiliate as you should know by now you have many awesome fellow members only too willing to help you along our online journey

I am finding content but see that there are too many high authority sites I can’t compete against.

This is another fear when creating content ideas and finding your keywords for your next post well for most people.

Here is where your fear of failure and even hopelessness comes in.

No matter how hard you try you seem to always find high competitive sites you are up against and seems easily to be an impossibility and even feel a waste of time writing that awesome content you have in mind.

If you find your content sucks and is competing with the high authority sites then get out of the box and find another solution regardless how good you think that keyword is.

This is the moment to realize this and work out a different alternative with your keyword selection even how you find your keywords as well.

It is called thinking outside the box.

Fortunately again have much help here in the name of Partha.

You will find he has many WA blog posts created just for you.

He is also successful in his own right for many years even before WA was created back in 2005.

He too has had his shares of let’s say ups and downs even with the latest Google algorithm even the best gets hit by Google at times.

Fortunately Partha is a go getter and not a quitter. So currently he is working on old posts (which you should also be doing) to bring them back up the rankings and into the eyes for the readers once more.

The many WA blog posts he creates here is for you as he doesn’t have to help but because he cares for his fellow members creates these highly valuable posts albeit with a bit of humour within.

Regardless, you get lots of valuable information that will help you rank better and even get on page one using his ideas and not have to worry about these high ranking high authority sites.

Why does his methods work?

His methods are always outside the box and works well, very well and many other members will attest to this.

I will give you just two main posts as there are many to go through and you may not have enough coffee in the house if you go through them in one hit if you do you need the whole day for it and then some. But if you apply what he teaches you will certainly benefit as a result regardless of your chosen niche.

Here are two to get you started with Partha’s blogs within WA.

I selected a good keyword yet I am not ranking anywhere why?

There are some who just select a keyword, thinking they on the money and will get rich quickly.

Just because you may have selected a low QSR keyword doesn’t mean it is the best to use. Don’t get me wrong it could be but as I said you need to go the extra yards and check your competition for the same keyword you have chosen.

Even there this is based on the exact phase your keyword is that doesn’t mean people will type that in these days. Hint read more on Partha latest post

The same goes with selecting keywords with high traffic.

That doesn’t mean you are going to get that many visitors to your site.

If you are using Jaaxy look at what Jaaxy states next to traffic

To get that traffic you first need to be on page one of Google or other search engines and these are also averages not exact.

So how are you going to get to page one if you don’t do proper research and all that go with creating your content and helping your readers.

You might get beginners luck with one post but what about all the other posts you already have along with the new posts you will be continually creating?

If you think you are the only one who thought of that keyword and not bother with doing proper research with competitions on Google and other search engines you need to go back to training and start again with keyword research.

Then you wonder why your content is not ranking let alone be found online.

If you keep that attitude thinking you are the ants pants of the affiliate world and then you find your post perhaps even our website might as well be hanging around in the graveyard.

What happens next you are brought back down to the underworld and that fear of failure comes chasing after you if you don’t fight the fear back then you will quit.

Perhaps this is not the first time you quit many other projects in life be it work, home or online.

You need to work and do research and more if you want to succeed if not that failure to rank will create more fear within you and create that added doubt and what happens next you give up far too early.

If you are one of these types of people you have two choices.

  • If you don’t want to learn properly and put in the work and hard effort to get your post ranked then might as well quit. You need a positive mind frame along with patience and the drive to succeed.
  • If you want to learn and improve your ranking along with your website presence then go through all the training given with WA along with starting to read and apply Partha’s posts I just gave you.

This is only a small snippet with how fears and having a negative or doubtful attitude will affect you.

When you allow the many forms of fears affect you, and there many.

You will find it can drastically take hold and very quickly.

This more fears you hold onto the quickly you will be affected.

So never allow your fears to take hold of your present moment as that will decide what or where you future is.

Accept that you will failure here and there but instead of giving up get up find the issue and fix it.

It may take you longer the first time but if they happen again you will remember and make sure it doesn’t happen again.

When you do then you move forward in a positive way and regardless what obstacles come again and they will start to think outside the box to overcome that fear from holding you back.

You deserve better than that.

1) Learn from any mistakes find a solution and continue to strive forward and make sure you enjoy what you do.

2) Fear doesn’t like it when someone is enjoying what they do they thrive of pain and sorrow and doubt.

3) Don’t give into your fear, instead accept what is shows you, acknowledge it but move forward without it not with it.

4) Remember all those goals you set on your profile? Your dreams, goals and desire to succeed and achieve is more important than your fears.

5) Never close yourself off. Communicate with your fellow members here should they be any doubt or uncertainly, someone is always around to help you move forward.

Start today and work toward that you want to achieve always believe in yourself and enjoy all before you

Happy New Year, Andre!!

This is such a great article and an excellent way to bring it all together for starting a New Year.

A great read as always Andre...

There are fears involved in started any new business, whether it be online or off...

But, when we get down to business, study, learn what is going on around us and above all put the required effort in... nothing should scare us my friend! :-)

Thanks Nick yes it is our internal fear that tends to scare along with some who may have experienced a bad or awkward situation that presents itself as fear.

Enjoy your day

You're spot on there Andre!

Enjoy a fabulous day as well my friend!

Thank you and enjoy your day as well

Andre

Cheers Andre!

Great post, Andre, which sums up everything all WA members should focus on and is especially useful for newbies!

I always love starting something new and WA was so exciting and still is! This is such a friendly and helpful place!

Complete the training and take consistent action. It doesn’t get much simpler than that!

The rest is just time and effort. 😎

Frank 🎸

thanks you Frank and yes unfortunately for some who are not prepared for the time and effort will often fall by the wayside and continue to look around that shiny object syndrome they tend to chase.

Have a great day

You too, Andre! 😎

Cheers

Hello Andre!

Thank you for your blog! A very good motivational read coupled with inspiration and powerful insights!

Sometimes the fear is caused by inadequacy in confidence that is achieved by the result of the work you put in. If one strongly believes that the system works, you would pour your 200% into it, making certain to achieve a favorable outcome.

Take down fear! Work hard! Amazing results come flowing in!!!

Cheers.
Maria

Well said Maria did he come home yet?

He came home filthy and smelled so bad that I need to give him a thorough bath! My morning started about two hours ago, and as I sit down and enjoy my breakfast, I am with my WA family! Thank you that you remembered that my crazy dog ran away as I was supposed to do my WA work last night!

I have the screenshot of your instructions and will work on this today!

Thank you PIC! It must be nighttime there and you must be ready to call it a night! Have a relaxing evening. Good night!! I shall PM you if I have questions!

Cheers.
Maria

Well glad he is home, better filthy and smelly than not be there at all.

Yes it is just past 1 am waiting for my daughter to finish work and take furball grandson home so I can rest in peace.

He has been cheeky today so not happy with him. But as usual, comes to me and now is sleeping on my feet again as I type

As for the screenshot if you have issues send me a PM and the PICS will work it out together if you need help. Glad to help

Catch you later if I don't hear from you and have a great day

Andre

Indeed! I am glad our dog is back! But is not looking good though. He must not be feeling well as he only nibbled on his breakfast. We shall see….🤔😕

Working on the widgets now…

Goodnight! Will catch you later! Thank you for your help! Glad you are my PIC!

Cheers,
Maria

Hello Andre,

Another very comprehensive article. Thank you for sharing it.

I know that feeling all too well. I am often second-guessing myself about this very thing. But I will continue to fight it, make it through the 14-month challenge I have joined, and then see where I am on New Year's Eve 2023.

Thanks again.
Have a wonderful day!

most welcome I am sure you will do more than complete your challenge you have a positive attitude that will get you there and more.

Continue to have a great week ahead.

Andre

Thank you, Andre.

And you as well!

most welcome and I noticed the name change do you prefer me to use Brandaley instead of Cathy? Just want to be sure

Hi Andre,

No that is completely fine. I added an affiliate link to the banner of my revamped 9-5 site, and I want to prevent cross-over all.

You are all good. :-D

Ok thanks just wanted to make sure if it is ok to use either I prefer the former but that is up to you and I respect that.

enjoy your week ahead.d

Andre
