The #1 Reason Why Newbie Affiliate Marketers Fail

My first website at WA failed.

At its height, the site makes $750+ per month. But it still fails.

It is a failure and inevitably so.

I consider myself lucky to make any money at all.

Why?

Because my site lacks focus.

It tried to be so many thing to so many people.

Meditation, hypnosis, supplements, essential oils, and so on.

And along my journey at WA, I saw many marketers repeat the same mistake.

They try to promote everything the roof. Or products that are more 'profitable'.

But here's the thing.

A site that tries to be something to everyone lacks authority.

It will not rank well on Google. And readers might not trust the content.

Since then, I created several more websites, with one bearing better results than others.

And guess what, that site is consistent and focused in its offerings.

I applied my lessons in my freelance content writing career.

I started writing various topics to build my portfolio.

Then, I started niching myself into what I'm good at -- technology. And increases my rate.

That's how I establish my presence on Upwork in the past 7 years.

What I've learned at WA helps my freelancing business, and vice versa.

So, stop chasing shiny objects. That's the #1 pitfall for affliate marketers.

Here's how I narrow my service offering, and expand my skills.


The same way you can be laser-focus when building your affliate marketing business.

Hope it helps.

Cheers,
Kenny.
