Chicken Poop and Affiliate Marketing

For the past years we have raised a few chicks. It is really a fun time to pick out the ones you want from a pen of hundreds running around. I like the ones that just squat down in your hand and soak up the heat you offer, almost instantly falling asleep in your palm.

You take them home and the next few weeks revolve around them. You feed them special ground feed with just the right vitamin mix, and the water has just the right levels of electrolytes added to it. If you get it all right you have a pen full of little birds that are just cute to look at. Growing so quick you cant believe it. Oh yea and you get chicken poop to, not a lot at first, just little squirts now and then. But like the chick you know thats going to grow too.

Finally a few weeks pass and they are big enough to go out in the yard with the other chicks you brought home last year. You watch and wait and then it finally happens, that first egg, the beginning of repayment for all work you put into them. And yes you get a lot more poop than you used to get.

Affiliate marketing is like this as well. You start of with some fragile idea, feed it(content), water it(add your post to google) and every now and then something goes sideways and you get a little squirt of poop (error 404 page not found). You clean it up, feed it some more and what do you get. A grown up website that repays you with you first egg.

Yes you still have to feed it and water it, and when it poops its usually a bigger mess than when it was little. But you are getting greater rewards and you are happy.

So todays lesson, a little chicken poop isn't always a bad thing.
