My Current Business Models

As you might have read here, I have several business models that I am so passionate about. With Wealthy Affiliate, I can host websites and create content. I can then monetize that content in myriads of ways. I love to share these business models with you to motivate and inspire you. I also do this for myself as the going can be tough, sometimes.

My Business Models

1. Wealthy Affiliate (WA). This means affiliate marketing. I can either focus on the promotion of the WA Affiliate Program or diversify. There are many other affiliate programs and products accessible from my Hubs section. I can then promote these on my website, email, or social media. There are many courses here on how to do affiliate marketing.
2. Google Ads (GA). Website contents can be monetized in many ways including but not limited to running/allowing Google ads. I can also run Google ads on my YouTube channel(s) to get paid whenever people view ads within my videos. When you visit my website and interact with ads, I get paid by Google for that. They are renting my space to display their ads. I am a publisher in that sense.
3. Amazon Books (AB). Because I have written and independently published 100 titles so far on Amazon, when people visit my WA-made website(s), they might buy a book. When that happens, I credit WA for this because I used their system to host and create website content. This is my third business model.
4. Language Services (LS). Apart from teaching languages, technology, and life/career coaching, I also offer other services. One of these services that has proven to work well almost all the time is language services. This is where I offer translations, interpretations, editing and proofreading services for English, Sudanese Arabic, Dinka, and Nuer languages. This is my current source of income, fueling/funding my WA membership.

At the end of the day, I would like to focus on creating and monetizing content. This means I won't be able to continue with language services and other services unless and until they prove to be so crucial to me and my business.

Traffic is key. With enough traffic, I can then focus on content creation. I can then make money from it by publishing it in form of articles on my websites as well as in books on Amazon. Content produces books sales as well as referrals from my websites. Content generates revenue in form of ads on my websites and on my YouTube channels.

Benefits

There are many benefits when it comes to having a business model. Diversification is key. You can see above that instead of doing one thing, I have several hooks in the pond. For now, some of these hooks have not yet caught a thing. But with time, they will.

For example, none of my referrals have upgraded to Premium at the time I wrote this. However, I was sure that if I just keep the business going, there will come a time someone will join or upgrade. This is where magic happens. This is when I get paid of commissions.

What if people buy other products and services? When people sign up for VideoGen, MailerLite and Alison courses and they pay, I also get a commission. This means I have several affiliate programs under my belt.

Your Turn

What are you working on right now? Are you a writer? Would you like to become an author but no idea how? I would love to hear from you because the reason why I share these models is to motivate and inspire you. I also do so to keep myself focused on the things that matter a lot.

Updating you here about what I am working on also motivates and inspires me to keep working. I am still updating the book contents on Amazon, and I am sure it will take me up to the beginning of April 2025. It's a lot of work but it's important. My books are dynamic. I love to always improve them:- covers, content, keywords, blurbs and descriptions.

Again, let me know what you are working on today!
