It Doesn’t Have to Be Perfect, Just Started

If my memory serves me correctly, it was Wayne Gretzky who is credited with saying, “You miss 100% of the shots you don't take”. And in my experience, nothing is further from the truth.Now, hopefully from the title of this blog post and the quote above, you will get the idea of what I am trying to talk about today... That when it comes to affiliate marketing, you don't have to be perfect, but you do have to make a start!I have seen many comments on this, and other platforms, about

How I Continued To Rank Through Google's Updates

Hey there WAers. I have written a few blogs here recently about my issues resulting from the recent Google updates - i.e. I got smoked!And as a quick recap, I got hammered, sulked, threw my toys out the cot, burned my laptop (not really) and swore I was never doing this again.I even threw a site up on Flippa and offloaded it (I will write a post about that one later in the week as it only just sold yesterday).I then composed myself and here we are...One site kept working thoughThe whole time th

What Is Wealthy Affiliate?

Hey there WAers. Short one today.. In simple terms, I would love if you could tell me your answer to the above question. Please don't reply with a link to some training or review. I want to know in your own words - preferably in one sentence.Why?Well the answer to that question is almost a little embarrassing. You see I was out with some friends that I hadn't seen in a while on the weekend and they asked me about my websites (as I told them that I "build websites on the side" from our fitn

My First Ever Internet Search - Who'd Have Thought Where it Would Lead?

Do you remember the very first internet search you ever did? I do!It was a cold, wet slow day in the office where I worked and one of the “nerdier” guys had worked out how to access the internet – which in that era, was no mean feat.Then It Grew…Now, for fear of stating the absolute bleeding obvious, the internet has grown and changed quite a bit since then – I mean my original search was undertaken way before the likes of Google was even a thing.Now of course the

Google Smoked Me - So I Am Rebuilding My Affiliate Business

Hey WA'ers,Let's get straight to it!Google smoked my websites!Like many others here and around the world, recent Google algorithm changes caused two of my three websites to flatline...I responded to this by turning my laptop off, sulking, boycotting everything Google (which is hard when you have an android phone) and looking for another way to spend my time.It is now a few months later and I am ready to start again.I have also decided to turn this into a weekly diary (also videoing it on YouTub

Las Vegas, Louis Vuitton and Affiliate Marketing

Hey there WAers!Today, I just wanted to stop by and quickly highlight a little thing that I noticed on a recent trip to Las Vegas. My wife , Nic, and I were there for a business scaling workshop for our Pilates studios (more on that in another post) and were wandering through the row of high end stores (Gucci, Fendi, YSL etc.) in the Bellagio.As we wandered through, she commented on the shear number of people that were in each shop (Vegas itself was not especially busy during our time there) a

Is Affiliate Marketing Dead In 2024?

Hey WA'ers,And welcome to the land of doom and gloom... where everything is crumbling around us and the big bad behemoth called Google lauds over us like the eye of Sauron! Affiliate marketing is dead! You cannot make money with affiliate marketing any more! The glory days are done!Well, at least that is what I am hearing and reading... Facebook, YouTube, Podcasts and so on... it's all the same - Google has ruined everything and it is just too hard...Is it though? Is it really?Elephant in the r

Oops- My Post Ranked - Thanks to Good Keywords

Hey guysOver the past few weeks I have been doing up a series of videos covering the WA Hub for my YouTube channel. This involved me creating a new niche website via the hub and then creating a video for each step of the "path to success".Now, when I created the website, I was discussing niches and branding and actually led myself into creating a website on horse riding - which is an animal I:know nothing abouthave a slightly paralyzing fear of (can hold a snake, but can't go near a horse)So

The Hub Reinvigorated My Site

Hey Guys, Quick one today, You see I was reading a post on Medium the other day and there was a guy on there that was saying he built a website that made him over $5k per month on Amazon after 6 months.He went through what he did--- you know, basic narrow niche selection, SEO, keywords etc. but then he said one thing at the end that caught my eye... TWO posts per day. That is what he thought got his site up and moving.How did that affect me?Well, I have a site around making money online that w

How Important is Keyword Research?

Hey there WAers, Just a quick one today but I wanted to just jump in and show you the results of one of my sites. This one is to do with travel meaning it is in a high competition area and has taken a little while longer than other sites I have had to get traction.I am also using it to experiment with AI interlaced with my own travel experience which is interesting - especially if I hope to get around Google's 'scraping' policies for getting ads on it in future - but that is a subject for ano
