Why I'm an angry affiliate and ...

[Honeybadger]

Got thinking today
Why am I not a successful affiliate?
It's been over a year since I started this journey
--> right here on Affiliate Fix

• I know how to find trends
• I know how to build out websites
• I know how to create quality content
• I know how to get traffic from Google
• I know which products to promote
• I know how to earn affiliate commission

But still I'm not a successful affiliate
--> far from it
I work a job nobody else wants to do
for a salary that barely meets my bills
and live where I can afford to
that makes me angry
but also sad because so many people follow my journey
and if I can be successful
then I can share what I learn with you guys
because it's truly possible to succeed at this
2020 taught me it's possible
2021 has taught me how easy it is to throw it all away

... what I'm going to do about it

Time to return to where it all began
stick to the simple things that worked in 2020
I need to identify 3 things

1. WHAT do I want? --> Specific targets to achieve on set dates
2. WHY do I want it? --> The reasons I need to achieve these targets
3. HOW will I get it? --> The steps to take in order to achieve these goals

If I know what I want, why I want it, and how I will get
all that's left is the key which unlocks the door
--> ACTION

I'm left with a stark realization
that I got lazy and wandered off the path to success
happens to everyone I guess
time to get back on track

I like this post .. Actually the thing with AM is that you can't just learn a bunch of skills and strategies and stuck to them. .. what works for today won't work for tomorrow .. you should literally keep learning and improving..
I like the spirit

Don't feel bad.
You are competing with too many people doing the same thing, the same way.
Only a few % will really succeed with a decent full-time income.

Google SEO is very spotty.
Develop other traffic sources.
Amazon is a legit outfit but the payouts are not that much.

• People that succeed do not believe that everything they do has to make money right away.
• And they certainly don't believe that achieving the first goal is enough.
• They want to repeat the same actions over and over until they know it works
• Then scale
• Then re-adapt your findings to the market trends
