Drowning in Debt
Drowning in Debt is our life these days. I learn and write. I research, communicate, share, and build. Rinse and repeat.
The free trials have ended. Clickfunnels, Legendary Marketer, Camtasia, Google Workspace Business Starter.
Amazon Affiliate Program is going to close due to a lack of qualifying purchases - 2 sales, need 3. Earned $1.70.
I made $3 on Coinbase by learning about a new crypto coin.
I must keep trying. I signed up for a very risky "affiliate" marketing program that infers their way of using Google ads for paid traffic will almost guarantee commissions. They are also paying 100% commission on the upfront purchase - $297. There are backend monthly fees - $20/month hosting, and $60-200/monthly for paid traffic. Will this pay for itself or will I pay for a new "lesson" learned? (10-10-2021)
I have become a YouTube Video Creator and a TikTok sensation (239 views on one).
I earned $23 on Freelancer teaching Angular, but I can't even cash out until I reach $30.
Splash, Glub, glub...
NO. I will not give up. I can not stop trying. With my last breath, I will fight to make this work.
Rewind, review, reach out for helping hands!
Thanks to all of the honest and wonderful people who do help!

Thank you all for the wonderful support and suggestions! I will post an update on what happens with the paid traffic project. I will continue to write posts and pages. Thanks to Quora, Google, Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok, I have no lack of topics to write about.
To date, I've written 69 posts and 32 pages on the main site. I'm building out a training section on my site. I've also created 4 new sites for other people.
According to Google Analytics...
Monthly Users: site #1 > ~66, site # 2 > 49, site # 3 > 5, and site # 4 > 37.
Fortunately, I'm still working full-time. I'm also studying and training on Sitecore for work. As well as learning Nextjs for projects.
In my spare time, I troll for work on Freelancer.com, upwork.com, and Fiverr.com. I also trade stock options, forex, and futures when the Nasdaq market is open.
So, as you can see, my goal is to earn enough from these side hustles to stay at a break-even level until I learn enough to start making sales through my main website. I've as yet to make any sales there. So I've also taken to learning about sales funnels and how that might help with my "intentional" writing. I'm missing something important and I will continue to broaden my search to find what it is.
Again, thank you all so very much! Be well and try to have fun!
Glad to awe you're trying hard.
How is your journey through the Online Entrepreneur Certification Course coming along? Are you excited about writing content for your first website?
I'd stay away from paid stuff into you are earning enough to more than pay for those. My approach is to use these to scale up once I am earning an income through my blogging website.
Sadly there is no magic bullet.
Talking about debt. About 1o years ago I was a quarter-million dollars in debt. And that didn't include my mortgage. I wish I had come across Wealthy affiliate then. Glad that you found this community.
All the best to you.

Hi Frank, you are doing many things in your effort to achieve. Just be careful not to overload yourself and maybe concentrate in doing one thing at a time and do it well before you go to the next thing. Do not burn yourself out.
You may need to go back to the training to refresh. I am sure you will get there by perseverence.
All the best.
