5 dollars everyday passive income thanks to WA
It feels like yesterday when I was doing the financial goals lesson here at WA. I can't believe it is 5 years ago. I have been looking at one of my affiliate commissions and I realized that I am getting +-$5.00 a day. Imagine working up in the morning only to realize that you have already made money while asleep.
When I started my blog and now
I started my first blog/website around 2014/15 following wealthy affiliate training. At this stage, most of the things did not make any sense at all. As a beginner, you will end up copy and paste other people's content hahaha. I am sure most beginners are guilty of that. Yes, true story. My Blog to this day is still online and it is one of the creations I am so proud of. Fast forward years I have improved on writing and gained a lot of traction to my site.
A shift to focus on my strengths
I have tried many methods to bring traffic to my website. One day I did check my stats and realized that most of the customers that were clicking my affiliate links are coming from google search. I was a bit confused at this stage as I needed to continue with Facebook marketing. With the help of other wealthy affiliate members, they suggested that I focus on what is bringing results for me which is writing. I did exactly as they suggested.
Going for the local market
I am based in Zimbabwe, Upon realizing a few people writing about Zimbabwe in the make money online niche. I decided to focus on such topics. It was then when I stumbled upon keywords that pushed my articles to get me $5 dollars a day in passive income. The product/service I promoted in my articles brings me recurring income.
$5x30 = $150 per month | What can this money do in Zimbabwe
Doing the work once and getting passive income is a great feeling. $5 a day may seem to be a small amount. But in Zimbabwe and some countries in Africa, the majority of people that go to work 9am - 5pm earn less than $150 per month. So imagine getting a full month salary without lifting up a finger yet others would spend 30 days to get it.
Overcoming my fears and focusing on the goals
One of my greatest fears in writing is spelling and grammar. There was a time when I stopped writing for a while because I would feel bad about it. Later I realized that what matters is getting people to understand what you are trying to say and have them clicking on the affiliate links. Besides the search engine is not looking for spelling mistakes its looking for content. hahaha
Conclusion
Help me celebrate this milestone. Today I am reflecting the day I joined wealthy affiliate. Thank God I did not give up. I will continue to work towards increasing income. Oh, How I love passive income.
