Hey Emily,

There's quite a few factors that could explain this.

However, the main issues are probably how "warm" your traffic is and exactly where you're sending them.

Let me explain this.

Firstly, your 8k Insta followers, WHY are they following YOU?

If it's through normal social media interaction, and I'm gonna be Blunt here, normal social media interaction will be some friends, some family, people who think you're hot, people who think you're funny, people who like what you post, this will typically be COLD traffic.

So, let's say you been chatting about your life on Insta, sharing funny memes, jokes, photos and videos of you and your everyday life, THIS IS WHY these 8k people are following you.

So, if you're NEVER spoken about affiliate marketing or making money online before, the vast majority of your followers will be like, "What the hell's going on with Emily, where's the funny memes, pictures of drinks and dinner, and videos of her girls nights out gone? "

So, immediately the vast majority of your followers would click out of interest BECAUSE IT 'S YOU. They' re not actually INTERESTED in making money online, but they're interested in YOU.

I'll give you an exaggerated example of this - imagine going to favourite clothes shop and they suddenly tell you that they now sell burgers. So, you've been buying your favourite clothes from this shop for years, suddenly you walk in to check out the new summer line and they're trying to sell a quarterpounder with cheese.

You MIGHT be interested in the burger but that's NOT WHY YOU WENT IN THE SHOP (the same as your 8k Insta have NEVER seen you talk about affiliate marketing before. You gotta warm them up first).

Secondly, where are you sending your visitors, to a website to PRESELL YOUR OFFER or directly to the Wealthy Affiliate platform via your affiliate link?

If it's directly to the platform, most people won't have a clue what to do next.

So, they'll come, look, and leave.

Even if you're preselling them on a website, which is fantastic if you are, you have a MUCH better chance of converting, but there's no guarantees.

As you're dealing with humans, there's emotions to deal with too.

Basically, you could get 10,000,000 clicks and NEVER MAKE A SINGLE SALE/CONVERSION.

It comes down to the factors I've mentioned above.

You can search Insta and Tiktok for WA member Grace, her handle will be Little.Mama.

Check out how she's making reels, but above all see how INTERESTED her followers are.

Are they interacting? Asking Questions? Leaving relevant comments.

The most important parts of ANY business are

Do you have an audience who are ACTUALLY INTERESTED in what you have to offer?

If not, go and find them.

Are you connecting with these people in a way makes them TRUST YOU?

We all do it, don't we? We tend to buy things from people we like and feel are similar to us.

It would be like me trying to sell fake lashes to my twitter followers interested in credit cards... It ain't gonna happen, LOL.

So, look into those above points and see if that makes sense.

Hi - most people would struggle to get nearly 20,000 clicks in a year.

It would be extremely unusual for a new website that is only 3 months old.

Unless you are promoting on social media and have a huge following.

Or you are paying for traffic.

Where have you found this figure?

Income will greatly vary among members. It can take a good year or more to start seeing income start to flow.

Just keep focused on adding quality content consistently. Share on Social Media. Maybe add a Youtube channel and discuss it there also.

It will work out. :-)

are these clicks within wa or your search console...
if wa then this is only an indication that wa members are reading your content...
there are bots out there who do seek out new sites and jsut monitor them, but looking at the time on page in your google analytics will show that they are there for 0 seconds...
so it all depends on what click metrics you are talking about Emily...

I would consider reviewing my posts and see how can I enhance it better.

A page is static vs a post goes in the blog roll

You can create categories hovering over Posts, then you can add your categories to your menu. You can assign your posts to their respective categories, and also you can assign one post to more than one category.
