Can I make $20k? Affiliate Marketing Fashion Diary
- Status
Different strategies for this
1. Embed competitor product video with only 2 plugs, start and end (start video after opening plug & end video before closing plug)
2. Embed company product video (best option, but most companies dont do it)
3. Use combo of product images & free stock video to make video (time consuming, best to avoid unless your are pro & can automate)
Your questions are good !!

Thanks! I think I sort of get it, so you would make a lander that's basically a page outlining all of the specific product features, but this lander is still linked to your content site?

Thanks! 1. is a little confusing but I might try to incorporate number 2. Any issues with copyright if you choose 2?Different strategies for this

1. It used to work like this --> youtube.com/embed/Jxm206I9Z6s?start=76&end=120 (start video after 76 seconds, end it after 120 seconds) where you can code the video to start and stop at any time you want, but it didn't work on this time, @Graybeard do you know how to do it?
2. No issues, if company doesn't want to promote its product for free maybe because you are devaluing its brand, this happened to me so I removed video, but most times you will help company sales & get more video views so they don't say yes or no (if they even know about it, most often nobody has time to look at You Tube analytics)

Google not only uses your content to sell their overpriced advertising but is picky now about what they 'appropriate' for their purposes --
anyway, not that I really care, but
page has a lot of content and is not using .wep images --did this one a few years ago for am idea put on hold. This page is bootstrap3 ... before Google started this anal probe JO. I am not 'real world'
Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) for a deeper tech explanation. TBH I had to read this first. New acronym (CLS) WTF is that acronym --I don't play this endless game. But I must admit --when explained it is irritating.

You answered your own question!
You must have a plan, a written plan! Plans are always changing, but you must have one written. They are living things and always evolving. Be a planner, and you will eliminate 99% of any chaos, improve all aspects of your efforts immensely, and see progress steadily towards your goals.
'If you wish to fly to new heights, begin by setting your sights on a destination you can reach and then create a flight plan, a map, that will be your guide' - Debbie Ford

| This Year | $6,847 | $10,000/year | $10,179 (projection base on average) |
Notes
- Good start to $4k December challenge, daily traffic stable < 1,100 > sessions, bounce rate improved 5% after many technical fixes & add new content (its like shaving, never ending story)
- Complete alot more tasks with Google Calendar (Monday-2-Friday tasks scheduled Friday morning)
- Finding new ways to save time --> keyboard shortcuts, smart phone apps, scheduled posts, scheduled promo codes (start & end date), bookmarks, anything that's manual & takes time will automate, good post on Entrepeneur called '36 Insanely Useful Productivity Hacks'
- Draw 6 pots on wallchart (for my 6 affiliate networks) and brainstorm how to earn $21.50/day each network ($21.50/day x 6 networks = $129/day, x 30 days = $3,999 for $4k target), this is what I learn to start with your 'why?' its the big goal & work backwards until EVERYTHING is planned into daily routine, and I always write it down like @T J Tutor said
- @Socrates @AmNovice @alphaarticles good questions this week !! keep asking & learning, its from Benjamin Franklin --> 'How do you become better tomorrow? By improving yourself, the world is made better. Be not afraid of growing too slowly. Be afraid of standing still. Forget your mistakes, but remember what they taught you. So how do you become better tomorrow? By becoming better today'

Notes
- Lost a bet & had to perform 100 push-ups, now 48 hrs later suffering from D.O.M.S. (feels like bruising all over pecks & shoulders)
- Banked $1,200 commission payments from October & made me feel a bit better from the DOMS
- Finally won Google SEO ranking battle with main competitor, used Semrush.com to track her trending content (she was copying all my bestsellers - smart thinking), so I added 2 new layers of product sub categories and 3 x more products in that niche & super optimized them with sculpted SERP meta title/description, quality images with all title tags, new videos from the manufacturer, testimonials from Google Business (linked back to GB), internal links to related content and blog scheduled daily posts linked to new product pages --> having competitors make you smarter
- Found sick Neil Patel cheatsheet in Google search, its list of 220 profitable buyer keywords its from his free SEO training course I found today called SEO Unlocked

Over $1,000 commission in last 8 days, but target for 2021 is $1,000 every day, only 3 weeks away from 2021 so I must step up game --> outsource will begin in 2 weeks (research products & add new products), I am sharing 95% of what I learnt so far --> just find untapped niche and copy my formula, simple & it works
Finish my business plan for 2021 with all projection, next I will send it to new accountant for 2nd opinion, we are working with the pro bono because I make their website get higher Google ranking
Next I begin learning how to make product videos --> creatoracademy.youtube.com/ & scheduled all courses in Google Calendar, so it will be complete before New Years Eve

Not really pro bono, more like bartering. The accountant is getting something from you in return. It's a win-win.
You're close to your goal and the way you've been working and learning so hard, if you don't get right to $10K, you won't be too far off. If not this year, you'll definitely make (and probably surpass) it next year.
