A Quick Word On Amazon (And a Word On Kyle Too)

Hello Wealthy Affiliate family! ( :

First off, I've been a member of Wealthy Affiliate since 2014 (Dang, time flies!)

Looking back, it's pretty wild that I've gotten to witness firsthand the transformation that has taken place here at Wealthy Affiliate...

Like a cocoon morphing into a butterfly, the transformative growth I've seen unfold has been remarkable.

Over the years, this business builder evolved into the fine platform we know and love today.

But let me stop pleasantly beating around the bush...

I'm here to adress something: information that is vitally pertinent to MANY of us here at WA.

Very recently, we here at Wealthy Affiliate have seen a sharp decline in Amazon commission payouts...

Of course, this affects a lot of us to some degree, myself included. I can only hope you've diversified your affiliate income streams as I have.

If you haven't, now is the perfect time! Never has "don't put all your eggs in one basket" rung truer.

Anyway, I just read Kyle's reaction to Amazon's commission alteration, and he put it beautifully...

He wants to reminds all of you that even though Amazon might not offer such a great affiliate program anymore, YOU SHOULD NOT BECOME DISCOURAGED!

Quite the contrary!! You should look at this as an opportunity to expand into different, much HIGHER-PAYING affiliate programs that you might not have had the courage or inclination to pursue before!

Nothing is as good of a motivator as a swift kick in the stomach, ya know?

While I do have two Amazon product-based websites that brings me in a nice paycheck each week, they are certainly less lucrative than my other sites using other affiliate programs!

Anyways, I have nothing but admiration for Kyle. To this day, I consider him the person who indirectly changed my life by giving me the opportunity to start and run my own successful online business.

He's our fearless leader here at Wealthy Affiliate, and we can all learn a thing or two from him.

In this case, I STRONGLY urge you to listen to Kyle and his recommendations for substitutions of the amazon affiliate program.

He's listed out a bunch of great ones in his latest article, each of which can be turned into thriving, lucrative online businesses.

Listen to his advice and trust in his recommendations. Just because we're seeing the possible downfall of amazon associates doesn't mean there isn't extraordinary opportunity here for a paradigm shift, because that's exactly what's happening.

GET ahead of the curve! Trust the process and you'll skyrocket up the ladder of sucess.

At the end if the day, we can either choose to perceive Amazon's commission cuts as something bad, OR we can choose to perceive it as a FRESH OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE DIRECTION, EXPAND OUR AFFILIATE SITE'S RANGE, AND MAKE A WHOLE LOT MORE MONEY ON HIGHER TICKET COMMISSIONS!!

Alright my Wealthy Affiliate family, that is all I wanted to share with you today. I just wanted to show you that even something that is generally perceived to be negative can be creatively spun to be advantageous to us.

Hopefully you take advantage of this paradigm shift, I know I have.

Good fortune to you all! Much love.

Koda : )

Good advice Koda. Thanks
Yo

Yes, the glass is half full rather than half empty, Koda!

Have a safe weekend!

Jeff

Indeed!

You hit the proverbial nail when saying" don't put all your eggs in one basket". Thanks for pointing that out again :-)

No problem, lucbizz ( :
I think it's a very valuable lesson... one that any beginner affiliate marketer will quickly learn either by reading about it and avoiding it (the easy way) or ignoring the warning and learning firsthand (the hard way) ... lol

Wow! You're a Wealthy Affiliate veteran. I agree, it's an unfortunate kick in the stomach, but I think it will help many of us to see much higher earnings elsewhere.

Yup, I'm quite the veteran on here! This platform has changed my life, so I couldn't imagine ever NOT being a member :D

#WealthyAffiliateForLife

Haha. And yes! I'm hoping this will be the push most people need to break out of their comfort zone and pursue money outside of Amazon. There's literally HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of other affiliate programs for join to find full-time incomes online.

Thanks for the comment, TDomena! ;D
