Researching my niche
I had a great time yesterday researching my niche! I hadn't been on a 'key' website for some time because I don't have babies anymore. A lot has changed and there are new products that I didn't know about. The website has an affiliate program that I can sign up for that will give me a 10% profit on sales.
Do companies care if you promote their products for sale on multiple platforms? (amazon, walmart, etc.) It didn't say anything about it in their terms.
It is just exciting that after all these years of saying, I could write that, I cound do that, etc. here I am just weeks/months from making it a reality!
I also want to buy a domain for a personal blog. I have always wanted to have a blog roll and be able to share personal opinions. How many of you have a WA run personal blog? Just wondering!

Hi Johanna29,
Its great you're blogging your experiences and enjoying it! As for me I love writing but I hit a wall when I attempt to write my experiences for some reason. Even when I try to come up with a title for my first post its a struggle!
Hi Kelly, I would actually recommend that you keep a journal (on paper, for yourself) to help you feel more comfortable--it sounds like you have the desire to share but don't know where to start.Might serve as inspiration for future posts! As far as the title, you can always add it at the end, or even just put 'daily update, day 15, etc' so maybe you wouldn't get stuck with that block :) Wishing you all the best!
Hi Johanna,
Those are great ideas, thanks for sharing with me!. I feel better getting started now :)

It is amazing Johana when we sit down and actually realize that we can actually start to make things happen, it is a feeling hard to beat. Best wishes as you continue to grow.
in answer to your question, it is your blog so in so much we are free to promote product and services the key is that we align products and services that are congruent with our content.
Of all the affiliate programs Amazon seems to be the most protective they kind of like that exclusivity. Jennifer ( pot pie girl ) wrote an excellent post on being an Amazon affiliate and some of the pitfalls and positives. Amazon Affiliate? Trying To Make Your First 3 Sales? Read This. Creating that personal or branded blog can be a way of increasing engagement and building an extensive online presence.
Probably a personal choice thing and making that decision about direction audience and the content/ message that you are going to bring to them. Something that evolves as we move along.
Thanks Alex! I had no idea how involved Amazon is, thanks for the heads up! and thanks for the encouragement :)
