Update On My Progress

I hope everyone is doing well! I restructured my site a little and started on an article that will be an affiliate article for Amazon. I don't have that many articles on my site, but I'm gonna go ahead and take the plunge and at least join Amazon's Affiliate program while I build my traffic. If I don't get enough sales, I now know that I can re-apply with them and update my links if necessary.

But I've also started to feel more confident in how I'm going to use Affiliate Sales to generate income. I try to post these blogs with the intent not just to talk about myself, but to help others as well. Keep in mind that if you plan to use Affiliate Marketing to make most of your income off of your site, be sure to pick a niche that you can directly tie to products and that you can honestly say you used or are super familiar with.

I think that alot of people are not successfuly with Affiliate Marketing because they post random links about products they know nothing about. With that being said, mommy blogs and technology device niches are hugely popular becase people are always looking for the next product that really helps them (spill proof toddler cups, headphones that are wireless and keep a good charge). I'm probably a bigger consumer because of my son and the fact that I teach and buy classroom supplies. So I'm starting to understand more of what Affiliate Marketing is and how it can be a powerful thing.

I'm actually going to start focusing more on educational products that help students with speaking and language acquisition - my son is currently in an Autism program and I also work with many students that have special needs and are bilingual. These types of products are super hot right now, and if you can recommend something people need to help them learn (and have that credibility of knowing a little more on a certain topic, like in my case, I know a decent amount about speech therapy and teaching kids to read), Affiliate Marketing might be the best way for you to make money on your site.

I'm also going to put a personal blog link in my site (that will talk more about my family and my son and teaching life) to build more traffic and make me more personable to people - when you talk about teaching and parenting, that's a niche where you can only build traffic if you talk about your life and experiences.

I started on an article today recommending some speech toys for kids, and I was surprised how fast I was moving through it. So I'm feeling good. I think it's going to take me plenty of days of hard work, writing, and the restructuring of my site, but I think I can have a decent amount of traffic and maybe some sales within the next 6 months at least.

I hope everyone's doing well and taking care of themselves!

Sounds like things are progressing nicely for you Tia!

Keep up the great work and I wish you all the best for the future my friend!

I really like the plan for your niche. I worked with developmentally challenged children for many years and I think this kind of a website is needed particularly the part about family life. I look forward to reading your posts in the future.

Sounds like a great plan going forward, Tia.

Thanks, Phil. It was you that told me I good content and made me feel a little more confident in myself. I appreciate your motivating words.
