Hi Hazel,
I read and voted this yesterday but didn't have time to comment. I wanted to return though as not only are some of your questions thought provoking but some are funny too, thank you.
I could see you making posts like this and gaining quite an audience, either on your personal blog or on social media to gain followers to direct to your blog.
This post was hands down the most entertaining of the ones I read yesterday. Thanks so much.
Regards,
Jason
Thank you, Jason, for getting the tone and tenor of what I was trying to do here. Though some of the wonderings are thought-provoking, my intention was to be humorous. When I started reading some of the comments, I could see people were taking them down a path that I had not intended.
I really am glad you and a few others got it. Thanks also for your suggestion to take this another way!
Hazel
Humorous you definitely were. I also enjoyed Paul's comment to you down below too, hah hah.
I think in a normal blog setting more would have gotten your humor, but there might be some masks being worn here amongst the professionals, hah hah.
I suspect there were more laughs than we can see here. :D
Thanks again for bringing the laughter.
Regards,
Jason
Hello Hazel,
All good questions and some that probably everyone asks themselves.
I am with you on most of this.
As I have some distractions in my life right now (a few terminally ill friends/family) I at least try to sit at my laptop every day.
Sometimes it is beneficial, and sometimes not ... rea-l-ly NOT!
But I am still confident that I will conquer this thing.
When I least expect it, it will all happen ... it will come together.
Have faith in yourself!
Here's a question on two:
Are you obsessing over this in a negative way?
Do you have a negative underlying feeling?
Do you take time to enrich your spiritual side?
Do you ever meditate? Try 15 minutes a day.
Are you feeling that you should be at the "end" of this journey instead of following step-by-step training?
Do you get away for a while every day so you can survey your progress so far? After all, you have learned something, surely, since you started this process.
Do you have an attitude of gratitude?
Are you having FUN? Are you enjoying this? Do you love the WA platform?
I see other platforms out there and have set my goal to pursue them when I feel ready to do so. I will use my WA training to enlarge my borders, but I won't leave WA. The support is amazing.
Do you feel a bit better about venting?
I like your post! And I am always happy to see your lovely face when I see comments.
Remember that you can help others with the knowledge you have.
Keep on keeping on!
Regards, Corinne
Hey Hazel, lemme try answering some of your questions:
1. Why some niches have high traffic and mine does not - What niche(s) are you in?
5. Why no one else here thinks there can be wrong/unprofitable niches - Any niche (a specialized segment of the market for a particular kind of product or service) can be profitable. You just need to have the right approach.
8. Why I did not make better financial decisions earlier - We get wisdom from our experiences, but we all need to make mistakes first to become wiser.
10. Who here earns a full-time income from their niche - I do from all the niches on my bio, but AM is a new way of marketing for me. I will start soon.
11. Why I am not given the opportunity to have rich people's problems - Stop focusing on money, and first focus on ensuring your niche or niches are something you are passionate, skilled, and have knowledge about... The money will follow.
15. Why don't all my posts get indexed and ranked - Have a look at your keywords and the content of your articles. Use high-demand, low-competition keywords, and use professional SEO tools to ensure your articles have an SEO score of 85% or higher. The closer to 100%, the better. Ensure it's more than 2000 to 3000 words. Use paid advertising for a bit, intermittently to let Google, etc. know you're an authority. Also do off-page SEO.
16. Why do I close the bathroom door even when I'm home alone - It could be a habit or just in case someone unexpectedly walks in.
17. Why does affiliate marketing feel hard these days - Any marketing is hard at first, but you need to create high-quality content, build a good following, engage with them, and only sell 20% of the time (The 80/20 rule). Your articles should answer their questions, bring solutions to their problems, and be entertaining at the same time. Once it starts getting momentum, you'll reap the rewards.
Thanks, Abie... I try! I will read and comment on some of yours soon, I'm just hectically busy and subscribing to too many emails. 😀
have you been spending too much time with my almost 3-year-old little girl and her constand 'why'? qustions? ha ha
life will always be full of unanswered questions, that's what makes it special. I hope you are doing well Hazel
Hi Hazel, I empathize with you on a few things. 1. I need to refine my niche to be more relevant. It's too broad right now. 2. Still working on my goals as best as I can, but refuse to give up ever. 3&4. I don't know Roy or Tom. 5. All niches are profitable I believe since there are thousands maybe millions makes it hard to judge. The world is very diverse and very colorful. 6. I'm not one to sing but when I do it means I'm happy and how I sound isn't important. 7. I don't do the cooking at home. 8. I think we all have regrets financially. I recall an opportunity to invest at the start for a coffee company called Starbucks. Oh well. 9. Hydrangea like sun and water after a fall pruning at least, mine do. 10. I still work a JOB. 11. I don't know if I would want or even know rich peoples problems. I've known quite a few who are unhappy regardless and some who lost it all and can't stop talking about it either. 12. The God the Universe I know speaks softly and provides all I need. My prayers are pretty simple . Please protect me my family and friends to always be happy. I gave up on prayers for material things. I get what I need and I am happy. 13. The heaven residents keep us from making things worse. I'm sure they're disappointed. 14. I was told by an old dear friend, in his Southern Texas drawl " Dievit, folks iz gonna alluz letyi down" 15. Just the nature of the Google beast. 16. I do it out of habit. 17. Since AI it should be easier but so far not. With so many flooding blogs and content with unnatural content is tough. 18. I've been blessed here with more than I expected and have not found any reason to feel anything but love here. 19. I'm comfortable here. 20. Our dark thoughts grow as we grow in the light. So we must continue to trust, do the right thing, and stay in the light and most of all do not attach to negative thoughts. Let them go every time by thinking good thoughts. Negative thoughts desire justification. Don't entertain them. They will fade.
Hi Dao!
How kind and sensitive of you to answer all of these. You are golden.
I need to tell you that I was being flippant with some of these and did not really expect that affiliates would know the answers.
What is very interesting and thought-provoking to me is that as I was reading your response, YOU came to my mind. Yup. It sounded like something you would write.
I remember reading your profile and an earlier exchange we had. Your response to me sounded much like I remember about you. So, how about THAT?
Thank you once again for sharing your thoughts and feelings with me.
Hazel
Thank you for the kind words.
Who is Roy and Tom? If from a TV show, I'm a dunce. I threw mine out ten years ago:).
Have a great week. I will say this has been harder than I thought. But it is the push I need sometimes.
You're welcome. There is a series called Succession. They are featured on this show. Enjoy your week as well!
Hazel
These are all good questions but can only answer a few. Maybe you wanted a little more privacy which is why it's closed. 🤦♀️

Hello Hazel,
I have read your post again ... and again. I love it!
You have found your niche!
You have humor, it is thought-provoking and there's so much creativity and depth - we all want this!
Stay with the quirky! Run with it!
In my first comment, I answered #18 and acted out #20.
They are purely my musings about myself, and for sure you don't need my advice. (I wish I had written something like this!)
Your talent for writing is bursting out and I look forward to another one of these - your wonderings!
Thank you Hazel for entertaining us in a very thoughtful way.
This was fun and I will continue to follow you closely.
Regards, Corinne
