What happened to Black Friday? My Flop

A couple of months prepration did not help me in preparing for Black Friday... I planned to FAIL. EPIC FAIL.

And the saying goes "If you fail to plan you plan to fail."

I thought I had a plan but it was not enough or a little too late.

This year at the start of January, I started to brain storm. Last year was not a complete disaster because I did get WA commissions.

Not bad.

But I was hoping to also get something going for Black Friday week.

Well, yeah that did not happen. SO January 2022 I am going back to basic to the training. I will be doing 2 websites on different niches.

Well both are already set up and the content just need to be planned properly.

Ready to put this into action?

Also both have earned a sale or two as an amazon affiliate last year. But I won't be focusing entirely on amazon. Amazon has small commissions.

So I will use whatever else I can find that have affiliate programs which will include clickbank, CJ, and share-a-sale if I can't find anything else.

The third website will be my WA affiliate bootcamp website. Which focuses on make money online. I will definitely go back to the lessons again, get more content, and also focus on social media.

Of course I won't be promoting WA only. If you have website, I find making money multiple ways is nice and a joy to see.

I will study and review what I can change for January-March. Then in April-June start implementing ideas and getting a system going for me.

3rd quarter is tweaking and hopefully 4th quarter I am heading in the right direction for at least my first sale for Black Friday for WA. (Multiple WA sales welcome.)

I like the idea of giving back the way we do here in WA community. Last year, after all the covid issues, I decided to also focus on local businesses. Helping them in there online success. Since every business needs an online presence these days.

I am actually starting out with free stuff. So my 4th website is a digital agency site that I started this January. I already got 2 calls but I sent it to a digital voice answer machine which I haven't configured so they did not talk which means no details.

The site got a good traffic of around 10-20 a day, the reason it got traffic early is because I used an expired domain that had some backlinks still. I think thats how it works... haha. Anyways, traffic early is not bad.

Not much click to the FREE report yet though.

I will keep working, learning, and helping after all I am stuck mostly at home and I need a distraction from all the news and now a days its not only about covid. 4 websites should keep me busy. It is a bit of a shot gun approach and hopefully it does not spread me too thin.

What are you guys planning for this year in terms of your online business succes? Similar to me? Or something totally different? Let me know below. Will love to hear from you.
