I joined Wealthy Affiliate to become a “Wealthy Affiliate” and live a lifestyle of freedom fun and fulfillment.
How much time do you spend on marketing, and how much time do you spend working on your website?
It would seem to me, that anything and everything that you need would be contained within this platform. However, I’ve noticed a lot of conversation about going outside of the Wealthy Affiliate platform to find different hosting services, and other tools.
I think you might agree, that finding products and services with Affiliate programs is not the challenge. There are a plethora of products and services online that have affiliate programs.
The challenge is finding prospective customers that are in alignment with those products and services that will buy them and become customers.
The formula is simple.
Product + Prospect = $ALE
So why then, do so many Affiliates struggle to make money? Is it because they are distracted doing tasks like working on the website?
Perhaps our solution as a community is to focus on collaborating to fill a central hub database of shoppers. (Does this already exist here in Wealthy Affiliate?) Saturation is not an issue. There are millions and millions of consumers on the planet. The issue is categorized lead lists. Categorized by niche. We already know a plethora of niches. Heck, list brokers have used the SIC (Standard Industry Code) system for years.
If we have access to a list of categorized prospective buyers, do we need to continually tweek our websites? Or could we simply allow the shoppers into the Wealthy Affiliate Department Store to shop and purchase.
Some of you might be thinking, it would not be fair, because the marketers that got in first would get all the business. The solution for this, is put in URL rotators to distribute the traffic equally and fairly.
They used to say Content is King.
However, the Internet and the platforms have changed. Your content is curated, suppressed and overshadowed by the bigger fish in the pond. Keywords have become scrambled, coded or ignored. Domains have become blocked, suppressed or misdirected. Cancel Culture and control have become acceptable. Statistics are full of manipulative false metrics.
Product + Prospect = $ALE
Can it be this simple?
