Hey everyone!

I’ve been reflecting on how consistency has played a key role in my affiliate marketing journey. Whether it’s posting blogs, creating content, or simply showing up every day to work on my business, the small, consistent steps have made all the difference.

When I first started, I was focused on big wins—thinking that if I could just get a viral post or hit a major sale, everything would take off. But over time, I realized that it’s the steady, daily progress that truly adds up.

Here’s what I’ve learned so far:

  1. Content creation doesn’t have to be a huge undertaking. Even posting one well-thought-out blog a week or creating a few social media posts consistently can move the needle.
  2. SEO isn’t something you master overnight. It’s an ongoing process. The more you learn and apply, the better your results over time.
  3. Building relationships within the Wealthy Affiliate community has been a game-changer. The feedback, tips, and encouragement have kept me motivated, even when things seemed slow.

So, if you’re feeling frustrated or stuck, remember that success in affiliate marketing is built one small step at a time. Stay consistent, keep learning, and trust the process.

I’d love to hear your thoughts—what’s been your experience with consistency in affiliate marketing?

Best,
Les Waller

Good morning Les,

Thank you for your blog post, Les, it's appreciated.

I've always noticed how all successful Internet marketers are always consistent. Consistency is definitely the key to success. I've just been reading Boris's blog post about 10 simple daily habits to succeed in Wealthy Affiliate, Boris make some very good points. Everything takes time, but if we are consistent and keep learning and taking action, I really believe that things will happen. I have an off-line business, which can get quite busy in the summer months, in some ways, this holds me back and makes me more inconsistent. It comes back to consistency being key.

It's amazing to see the Waller brothers in the top 10 blog posts and both ambassadors! Bravo to that!

Have a great day.

Thanks!

Perhaps during the summer months just adjust the amount of work you want to put into your online business to a manageable level, so it doesn't feel like you are being overwhelmed.

It's a pleasure, Les!

That's certainly not a bad idea! I also need to make use of the WordPress and YouTube scheduling tools more. Having said that I'm looking to sell my off-line business, which would free up a lot of time.

Have a fantastic day.

Totally agree, Les!

It’s so easy to get caught up chasing big wins, but it’s those small, daily actions that really build momentum.

I’ve noticed that just showing up consistently, even when progress feels slow, makes all the difference over time.

Thanks for the reminder to keep at it!

All the best,

Boris

Yes, and that is my Plan. I given myself a 5 year window to get where I want to be. I am sure with constant posting, doing videos, building relationships and constant learning, I will reach my goal I set.
