December Update: My Stats Are In!

I started blogging at Wealthy Affiliate in almost 9 months ago, and only began tracking my affiliate link traffic since 3 months ago, but I have been pleased with my results thus far.

YouTube vs. My Blog

As you can see, my YouTube channel is getting a lot more exposure compared to my blog. That is because I already had a handful of videos published on YouTube before I even started by blog.

Using Content Samurai, I've been able to turn every blog post I create into a YouTube video. This definitely gives me an unfair advantage because I basically get two peices of content for every one piece that is created. Also ever since I began using CS, I've been seeing my Likes and Subscribers increase in double digits every month.

Affiliate Link Clicks vs Unique Visitors

Other than the traffic to my content, my affiliate link visits have also been increasing substantially as well every month. The reason why Affiliate Link Clicks is more than double the Unique Visitors To My Affiliate Links is because after a reader clicks on the link, it gets saved in their browser, and I get cookied to their computer. They often will revisit that link in their browser at a later date, and when they buy, I still get credit for the sale!

Three Pillars Of My Business

So far, these three things have been the pillars of my business so far.

  • Wealthy Affiliate

From the training, support, and the community, Wealthy Affiliate has been an excellent resource for me to stay on top of my game. In the past, I've succumbed to losing my motivation, and somehow get stuck in a rut for several weeks. Wealthy Affiliate has been there to keep me moving forward.

The SiteRubix hosting, and Jaaxy tool have been the tools that Wealthy Affiliate provides that make it THE BEST tailored solution for people who want to start with affiliate marketing. No other hosting provides an in-house keyword tool like Jaaxy. It is one-of-a-kind.

  • Content Samurai

Like I was saying before, Content Samurai has been a tremendous help with my content output. I've essentially been able to double my content production, with only about 20% more effort than blogging alone.

  • Hirewriters

This year I started out using iWriter as a source of outsourced content. I also used Fiverr a few times. However once I came to Hirewriters I was paying about 40% less for content, and getting better writers to do my work.

Going Forward to 2020 and beyond...

As you can see, my first year has been about content, content, and more content. As I continue into 2020, my plan is to continue with creating content, but also get into more sophisticated things, like building a marketing funnel.

I am currently writing an eBook on dozens of different ways to optimize an affiliate website for conversions. After I master the process of product creation and building funnels, I will probably create a second book that I can publish on Kindle.

My hope is that through the Kindle platform, along with other Content Publishing platforms such as:

  • Nook Press
  • Lulu Publishing
  • Smashwords
  • Kobo
  • iBook
  • Udemy
  • Stacksocial

I can push even more traffic through my marketing funnel, and introduce people to myself and Wealthy Affiliate. As you can see, it all comes down to more content even if it is in different formats, and the purpose it is used for.
