As I continue my journey of learning affiliate marketing, I want to share with you what I am learning thus far. So what is the secret of affiliate marketing and making money online? Keep on reading and allow me to explain.
To provide context, I have been at wealthy affiliate for over one year and have had some frustration as to why I have not seen the same level of success that others are recently seeing.
My point is not to complain. In fact, it is far from it. If anything, I am trying to share the one pitfall of what I did not do that the other people did that caused them to see more success than I did. Its the not so secret secret of affiliate marketing. In fact, its The One Thing that if done, it makes most other tasks completely irrelevant.
That secret is writing content. In fact, there is only so many ways to say this before google penalizes me for duplicating content. Yeah, its that cliche. But its true. From my experience and what I have seen, the more content that you put out there for your audience, the better a chance you have of getting seen through google by visitors.

Final words
If you compare the my recent 2 month picture to the all time picture (This site started in February 2017), then you notice that over half of my total all time organic traffic has come within the past two months of writing content. I guess the point I am trying to make is that there is not really a secret to affiliate marketing. If you think there is, then you are honestly just putting more obstacles in front of you that are not necessary. It is simply just about writing with the intent to help others (with some keyword research help of course).
Anyways, I hope I have inspired you to continue putting out more content within your respective niche blogs and let me know if you are experiencing something similar.
