Cry out for help

This is me getting bare and crying out for help. I have been here for a long time, maybe in the background, but always here; I never left.Now things happened, I really don't know what or how to be exact, it started slow and kept going down until Im now looking at zero sales every month for the past 2 years. Traffic died gradually since 2020. In the past, if 3 days passed without a sale, I started to worry, (amazon commissions are low so you need as many sales as to make it worthwhile) but now ze

Be careful when abroad

Guys I thought I`ll share this very frightening experience with you and, to say be careful when abroad.I visited Sharm-el-Sheikh in Egypt alone. Now I know some people say don`t visit this place or that as a solo woman.I have never had any bad experiences so I thought, “What could happen really? ”little hiccups here and there are acceptable, that can still happen when you`re in your home.So I booked a hotel car to drive me from Sharm-el-sheikh to Cairo and back the same day(my first

Did I mention I "just" turned 50?

I can`t even believe I said it, apart from people who "must" know my age, like my mum, physician, employer,I`ve not told anyone I turned the big five 0.It seems like yesterday when I really sobbed when someone congratulated me for turning 28 and I thought my life was over, when I thought I`m so old.How fast the time flies. But looking back, there isn`t much I wish I had done differently. Even tasks that seemed impossible like having my retirement nest egg and a home of my own mortgage free has

What is Your Niche?

It`s so hard to figure out a niche, some of us end up jumping from one niche to the next.Yes I`ve been making money since I joined WA, don`t ask me how.I knew nothing about making money online but created site about making money online. Although I have a strong E:A: T and a niche in one of the EATs(skincare and dermatology), it`s not my passion and writing there is always a serious task.Fast forward, recently I thought of something I used to do.I was a holiday junkie, a nomad, nothing beat the

When I say "It Cant Happen To Me"

What a rookie mistake? It`s 3 am as I write this "I know, I know, I'm free tomorrow and I`ve always been a night owl"So after spending more than 4 hours writing a post, I did the unthinkable, something that mostly happens to beginners. I wrote, published then I thought" I might need one more image"I create an image in Canva and insert it, then I feel it`s not sitting right, so I click back and just like switching off a light, most of my post is gone.It`s crazy because it`s not in my drafts and

WA members what do you think?

I don`t know about you, but I shop mostly offline. I`ve been shopping online since the late 90(am I so old?) But when I shop online, it`s mostly for books, flights, and hotels when I travel.Over the years, I`ve bought some clothes online, but, 90% of the time, they don`t fit or they are like nothing I saw online when they get here.Most of the time, I keep the bad shopping and donate them to goodwill.Wrong Product Description or wrong size?Since I started affiliate marketing, I have also noticed

Just So Happy "With" My Progress

Maybe that`s not even the right heading but to me it is. As some of you may remember, negative things happened to my sites that were just beyond my control,(this happened over a period of time) but by the time the worst one hit, it was like a website sunami, I didn`t see a way out.I Couldn't Explain My ProblemTo make matters worse, I have problems explaining exactly what the problem is (English can be hard) so it took me time( with trial and error with some freelancers) to find the right person

If you cant fix it then what?

Maybe you`ve had the problem before, something has broken on your website that no matter what you do, you just don`t see a way out.I`ve been there many times before, but the last one was the worst, when nothing worked, when a 1000+ word appeared as a single paragraph because of some plugins I used. It got so bad my posts were mostly on page 7+ and traffic trickled down to almost zero.If You can`t fix it, look for helpIt may sound easy, I`m sure some of you have asked for help and got some gene

Do You Really Need That WordPress Plugin? Maybe You Dont

I did What You Dont Do As a Salaried Worker( because Im tired and angry)

For a year plus now, my work offline has been hard, when the pandemic hit,many people were let go and for those that stayed, we have to keep things moving.So recently,I was just like working nonstop, coming home at 8 pm, eating dinner then sleep before 9 pm most of the time because I was just too tired. So I asked my boss "but why are we really working like this"? and he told me "in Labour regulations, it`s allowed to make employees work 6 days a week so go on with it".So that`s what I and most
