Yes, you read that right, I am starting over with affiliate marketing! First off, I am no stranger to starting over. I have done it many times. I have been at the top of my game, at the bottom, back at the top and at the bottom again. This site that you are on has a product on it that teaches others how to do affiliate marketing.
It’s a great product but I haven’t been promoting it much lately because for starters, the sales page is no longer accurate. Yes, I confess, I no longer am making 7 grand a month. I think I will change that to how I got my income up to 2 grand a month in maybe 4 months. Something like that will be more accurate. At the end of next year, I plan on being able to change it back to 7 grand or more!
Sure I have made 7 grand in a month and more, but that was then, this is now. I will not be promoting it until I update this. Just being honest here. There is more to this story but the morale here is to create your own websites and not post on sites owned by others or put all your eggs in one basket. Please, this is the biggest lesson I have learned.
So, here is why I am starting over. In September of 2014 I put my main money making site up for auction. It was in a niche for dating and relationships. I had to make a choice. I was at a crossroads. Do I follow that niche and give up teaching my affiliate marketing, for that was where it was leading. My followers were growing. It was consuming me. I really had to decide where my first love was.
As you can see the decision was made. I took the money I made and paid off a lot of bills and got my living expenses down to just the basics. I invested some of the money into selling on Amazon FBA which I also teach here. Needless to say, the money is running out and here I am starting over.
Is it scary? Well yes it is, but as I have said, I am no stranger to this. I am clear where my heart lies now. I love watching people commit to this this lifestyle of freedom and sharing their successes. it’s my first love! I also know that when you commit to something and follow through, you will be sustained. I am not worried. I awake each day and say, Today I have enough.
I have started two new websites and they are both pretty new but both are beginning to bring in some money in a very short time. They are both very different niches and I am gaining a lot of new experience in this adventure that I am sure will pay off. You can check them out here and here if you would like. Neither website will require my personal involvement like the one I sold so I am free to really share my journey with others in my affiliate marketing and selling on Amazon adventures.
So to those who have tried and failed at this affiliate marketing stuff or those that have never gotten it quite off the ground, come follow me because I like you am now starting from the beginning again! Cheers to us. I am going to rock it out and hope that you will join me in my journey starting over in affiliate marketing, from scratch.
I love your honesty Robin! I have been where you are, hell, I am still in the midst of building up to where I was too but it IS going to happen. Right now, I only make the big bucks at Christmas, this year, that’s going to change, I need to focus on Halloween and Home Decor so I am hitting it big multiple times a year. I’m scared too but I refuse to give up my freedom and I know my Source. I have an unshakable confidence in God to provide – I’ve seen miracles that you wouldn’t even believe while I’ve been rebuilding my way and there’s no doubt in my mind, you will too! Sometimes we have to be stripped naked to see Who and What we’re made of and I’m telling you – I’m made of amazing things and so are you! I don’t know if you read books or watch videos but check out “Destined to Reign” and the “The Power of Right Believing” they totally changed my life. Powerful message of how you can have victory over every circumstance effortlessly. Love you Robin, you’re still wealth of online marketing knowledge, you’re going to be bigger and better – up up up up away you go!!
Like you I have started over many times in my life. (personally and professionally)I even have an antique sign that says “Beginners” because it represents me! LOL But I’m not afraid to begin again, and have unshakable confidence that I can succeed and always do. You are the same, I’m sure, and you will rebuild, I’m sure. Rock on!
