Hi Ellen! My niche is related to the work I've done for quite a while and it's something I enjoy. But like others have said, hitting the wall can be part of the process. It has been for me as well. I'm still working on my niche site but I am looking at how I might narrow it a bit. Right now, I'm doing some behind the scenes work with switching to a premium theme and using a sandbox (to try it out before going live). My main goal with the new theme is to have more flexibility to implement ideas that will better serve my audience. I also know that as I keep working on my niche and interacting with my audience, I will find that sweet spot that really solves their greatest problems.

Stay encouraged in the learning process! Success is coming. :)

I have seen members here get results sooner when they promote products that are related to their niche and can be purchased on Amazon or other online stores with an affiliate program.

You have to start somewhere, and it takes at least 100 posts to get consistent results. Since you only joined in April, you may be doing better than you think. Have you used Google Search Console or Google Analytics to check the performance of your website?

Cheers.

I would honestly advise against going into the MMO niche, the Bootcamp is good but it's tough to crack especially with how Google is making harder to rank sites that concern peoples wealth and livelihood.

Stick to your niche ( if ts not related to health, that's another area Google is cracking down on), get to around 100 posts and see where you are.

All the best

But you must also consider that some of the most successful WA members doing bootcamp have become successful showing others how to make money with Wealthy Affiliate by showing their successful niche sites.

Like for example, Jay is so successful with his football snack helmet and been showing people how he's grateful with WA, making it easier for him to recruit people to WA.

To make it clearer, it is easier for you to recruit people to WA if you can show them that you succeed by applying the lessons taught in the Online Entrepreneur Course.

The bootcamp training is helpful, and you can apply the lessons learned there to any other niche.

All I can say is that "feeling stuck" is part of the process. Everyone hits this wall eventually. You joined in April this year and you've already written 35 posts, which is incredible! I can imagine you are out of steam right now.

So here's what I suggest: Ask yourself if you would get your motivation back if you got 10'000 visitors to your blog TODAY. Would that make you excited to continue working on that blog again?

If the answer is yes, then you're focusing too much on the result right now. Results can come VERY delayed with the blogging / affiliate marketing business model - and yes, it can be very frustrating (which is why so many quit).

So if delayed results is the reason you feel stuck, then you're not actually stuck. You're just in the middle of transforming your blog.

However, if even 10'000 visitors cannot re-kindle the flame, then yes you might actually be in a niche that is not for you. In that case, it's not sustainable to push yourself through that.

What you can do is let the site sit for 6 more months, see if traffic increases, and then sell it. Meanwhile, you apply everything that you've learned to a different niche, one that you actually have a passion for.

Sorry for the lengthy comment but I hope it helps!

That is quiet an effort put into the 35 posts. One way is to reflect on why you chose the niche in the first place.

1. Did you choose the niche because it was something you are good at?
2. Did you choose the niche because it was an interesting niche?
3. Is there a specific problem or unmet need in this niche?
4. Is there a product you can promote as a solution to this problem or unmet need?
5. How many others have the same problem or unmet need and would pay for this same product?

There is a need to do many adjustments to align between the market (niche) and the product we are promoting.

Try to identify the areas where you are stuck. You can start the bootcamp, I did it, but first try to understand the basics which are described in the online certification. It will be easy for you to understand the bootcamp.
You already have 35 post on your niche, so you have spent some time to create the content. Try to review the posts, review your niche and if need it, redo the online certification.
I hope this helps.

Best,
Maria

After 4 months I wouldn't be so caught up in PPC. Keep producing helpful content and take the necessary steps to rank your material.

Amazon will always take you back even if they terminate your account for nonsale.

Hey Ellen,

Setup a FREE SiteRubix site and try working on comments there until you get it right.

Working with the Text Editor in WordPress is the same as editing comments, but if you are not comfortable with doing that then practice is needed.

Personally, I would NEVER go back over all of my old comments and start adding URLs (links) as I do not feel that is relevant information and COULD/MIGHT be construed by Google's script as a "black hat" techniques.

However, your website is yours to do with as you see fit. Just offering advice is all.

Hope you find this helpful.
