Last year, before I started my blog at Wealthy Affiliate, I managed to create 26 YouTube videos. Most of those videos I was just testing a few different niches. This year, I have made $750 in affiliate commissions from those videos I made last year, and it took about 10 hours to make all of them.

That means my earnings per hours worked is $75 per hour! Wow! If people saw their content creation skill set as that valuable, I guarantee they would put a lot more than 10 hours into it lol.

So I made a promise to myself that I would put in 10x more work this year into creating content. 100 hours instead of 10.

So I started my Wealthy Affiliate blog here in April this year, and here is what I have done...

  • I have created created 55 blog posts
  • and 59 YouTube videos
  • I have written about 95,000 words on my blog so far

Compared to what I did last year, I have put a lot higher quality content out there as well.

Tracking My Affiliate Links Better

Most recently though is I have migrated my affiliate links over to my Thirsty Affiliates plugin, and I finally have centralized metrics as to how many people are clicking my affiliate links.

In the month of October I can actually tell you that I had 381 affiliate link clicks.

These clicks have led to about a variety of different events, such as:

  • new signups
  • commissions
  • subscibers
  • referrals
  • and a lot of people who have been cookied to me for whenver they decide to purchase.

    I am looking forward to growing this number even more.

    Through my process of creating content, and testing various subniches and keywords, I have found a subniche that has proved to be very easy to rank for and getting sign ups. One of them is...

    Smartphone Apps that have referral programs

    I have found that several of them are very easy to rank for, and when I create content it gets several hundred visitors very quickly.

    New ones are always popping up every week, so there is very little competition. They get a lot of buzz very quickly because they are apps in the app stores, and that gets a lot of people talking about them.

    However I haven't really found a method for finding smartphone apps with referral programs. It is mostly just a lot of manual searching.

    So going into next year, I am hoping to add a lot more content in this area. In addition to content that will promote some of the most profitable affiliate programs, like Wealthy Affiliate.

    My Advice To New Bloggers

    Keep your head down and focus. Become addicted to the action, not the outcome. Your results you put in today, will most likely not be seen until next year, and all the years after that.

    So you need to become addicted to the action of creating content around what your target market is actively searching for, and not addicted to the outcome of seeing commission notifications, new email subscribers, and new sign ups.

    If you can manage to stay motivated that way, you will put in a lot of work, and see big results. If you put in little work, you will see little results.

    Hi Nathan, really refreshing to read your results, and future aspirations.

    Thank you for sharing.

    I think that many would sit up and take note, a $ 75 per hour pay rate would be a huge % gain for many.

    Wishing you continued success.
