I see so many people who are impatient with making money. This is not an overnight process.
It's not like the Matrix. Someone is not going put their hand on your head and say "from your mind to my mind" (Kyle may disagree with that but... :-) )

I started my journey in May of 2023.

I came to WA in June of 2023.

I saw my first money from Amazon in January of 2024.

I had a "big" month in November 2024, making almost $100.
I repeated that in January of 2025.
I repeated that in the first 4 days of February 2025 ($53 plus a $50 bonus from Amazon for hitting $1600 in sales)

Success in affiliate marketing doesn’t happen overnight. My mantra for the first 18 months here was, and still is, "there are a lot of moving parts".

Everyone comes with a different set of skills. Your journey will be different from my journey.

But we all need to get better at this. It’s a game of small, consistent improvements.

That’s where the 1% Solution comes in.

The idea is simple: Get 1% better every day. Just small tweaks—nothing overwhelming. Over time, these tiny changes compound into massive results.

Most people want big wins fast, but that’s not how long-term success happens. If you want that, you're setting yourself up for failure.

You have to remember, you're not here to make money. You are here to set up a profitable business.

So, instead of chasing shortcuts, focus on small daily improvements.

Look at the math... If you improve by just 1% every day, by the end of the year, you’ll be 37 times better than when you started. But if you slack off by 1% each day, you’ll lose almost all progress.

Here’s how you can use the 1% Solution to grow your affiliate business:

✅ Optimize One Thing Daily – Learn a new skill, improve a blog post, tweak a CTA, or update an old pin. Small changes add up.

✅ Create Consistently – Write a little every day. Even one paragraph per day keeps momentum going. But more than that, learn how to write better, faster, clearer.

✅ Test and Adjust – Try a new keyword, headline, or ad strategy. Learn what works, and refine it. As Mark Zuckerberg says, "Move fast and break things". Try, learn, pivot.

✅ Engage More – Respond to comments, join discussions, and build relationships. Just one new connection a day can make a difference.

✅ Learn Something New – Read an article, listen to a podcast, or watch a tutorial. Knowledge compounds.

Affiliate marketing is a long game. Small, daily improvements lead to huge success over time. Stick with the 1% Solution, and watch your efforts multiply.
