My First Affiliate Journey

5th November 2022 - 11th November 2022


Summary of the week

I did write quite an amount of new posts this week; although I didn't write as much as I wanted to, it sure was a productive week. I've been hitting all-time highs for quite a while now.

I applied to Monumetric; bruh, their onboarding is too long and slow, and they seldom reply while I'm waiting for them if I meet any high traffic levels making me eligible for any other Ad platform I am out of. Damn!!!!

One reached out for the so-called onboarding process; I've replied with the questions I was asked, yet no reply... hmm

Meanwhile, who has any idea how I can bypass the so-called $100 fee!! I heard there's a way to.

About my traffic, I've hit so many all-time highs, 600+, 700+, I believe the best is yet to come, and my niche is pretty active during Q4/Winter.

So, I summed up my traffic for this month so far, and it was about 7000+; I then saw that just 4% of that number is converting via my Amz for a deep Amz affiliate site like this; at first, I was a bit gentle with my Google Ads, but I've taken out my gloves, and I've allowed the ads to flow. Of course, I was conscious enough of my user experience.

The thing is, I need this site to pay; there's a lot on the line. Besides Monumeric and, of course, Ezoic, can you recommend any other good similar services?

Ohh, for Adsense users, I strongly advise you to try the Multiplex Ad format; if possible, have it in the middle of your content after a substantial part of it; it has a good CTR.

11th Nov hasn't been updated, GA4 issues. Speaking of GA4, we all got the email right; after moving to Ga4, please set up BigQuery to import your data from Ga4 there; Ga4 has a poor report for data gathered a year ago.

Crazy, for two days straight I had a total sessions of 666!! If you are a Christian like me you might get the joke!

Cool, Cool, Cool!!! My target from Amz for this month is at least $1,800!! Yes, and I hope I get there.

More Post, I think, up to 16; I was to do 20, though!

Plans for this week

I haven't curated yet. However, my plan this week is to target two types of KWs, 0 SV kws, while also building topic clusters that target kws I rank for but don't have posts on them. I'll get the KWs for my topic clusters from my GSC and my free Ahref reports.

I should watch Koray Guber's videos on Entity SEO.

Question

How does your Grammarly appear when you are editing content, like a small box that seldom scrolls with the article or its just annoying in one place? I sometimes hate when these platforms carry out updates, they sometimes ruin things.

Write Write Write.

I also want to use this opportunity to give a shout-out and show of support to @Kikerinka, I'm rooting for you!
This Dec don soft for you boss. Congratulations bro
 

November 19th - 26th November 2022 (Summary of the Month)


Summary of the Week

I did write some content, I updated a few. My niche performs best during Q4, especially at the end of the year, so things have been going pretty well. I've had so many ATH - All Time Highs.

This month has been my best so far on my Journey and I'll include that in the report. So, let's ride.

The PBNs I rented from Tiiberius expired, on the 20th or so. For now, I won't rent, I MIGHT rent again next year. I did see improvements tbh.

Ads

NitroPay has been awesome so far, I've seen my RPM reach $17 and I made $24 with about 1.2k traffic (Yesterday). I have one Adsense ad and I used their Multiplex ad at the end of my content, I feel everyone should try that Multiplex ad format, it does convert... So far, I've made around $50 from them this month, to put it into context, I've made $122 on Nitropay in a week+

Ignore the Bounce Rate, this is UA, not GA4, for the last few reports I've been using GA4, but it has refused to update the report for yesterday in time for my Joruney update, so I had to fall back to GA3 (UA).

Black Friday (Yesterday) gave me my ATH and I was so elated.

All I can say is "Alhamdulillah" boy o boy!!! This is still a marvel in my eye.

Moving Forward

Google has indexed my sitemaps and it has updated there(GSC) that I actually deleted posts..... So far, I haven't seen any drop, I could argue that there's been an increase.

I'm of the opinion that If you have posts that are 12 months old+ and seldom bring any traffic or have poor impressions they should be deleted.

People also delete posts to help with recovery from an algorithm update from what I've read.

Maybe it is too early to take this stand, but this is just what I think or has observed in barely two weeks.

Plans for the new week

Post, Post, Post, Update, Post, Post, Update. Have a great week guys!
 
Post, Post, Post, Update, Post, Post, Update.
That sounds like a winning plan going forward!

Your journey has been up and down a lot but it seems your website is finally on a steady rise, and it's great to see. I usually check yours and Kikerinka's threads from time to time to see what you've been up to lately, lo and behold Kikerinka also made an appearance here a few days ago :)

Good luck finishing strong this december, I'm rooting for your success!

26th November 2022 - 3rd November 2022


Summary of the Week

To be honest, I haven't done anything exceptional and nothing too exceptional has happened generally. So far, I haven't felt any effect of deleting over 40 poor-performing content that was 12 months+ old. There are some I updated that I should check.

From my little research people usually advise that you delete poor content especially those that were are old and were present when you suffered a Google strike

I really miss the initial free version of Ahrefs.

Ads

For the whole last month, after implementing Nitropay about two weeks to the end of Nov, I realized about $240 ($209 after their 20%). While Adsense gave me about $95, I didn't expect Adsense to perform that much.

My site mainly uses Nitropay ads, however, I hade Adsense Multiplex ad below my content and one display ad at about 50% of my content, my articles could be pretty long times.

My strong advise for those using Adsense, set up Multiplex ads, it has a high CTR.

Again I have to use UA (Ga3) to make this report, Ga4 still needs fixing, and reports come in too too late, that's annoying I must say, but well, it's free so what choice do I have!

Dope Dope Dope!!! For the record, I finished November with about $1,600+. This is my first $1000 at once in my history of IM, I swear it is possible... I hope this motivates you. In my country, that $1,600 is pretty huge money.

I've been too lazy for my liking but that should change these last few days, I should go at two to three articles per day.

Alhamdulillah... We need people like @Kikerinka in here, that gentleman has wished me nothing but positivity and I wish his prediction of me reaching $3000+ this month to be a reality!

Moving Forward

Uhmmm.. From next year, I'll reduce the number of screenshots I share here, I don't see others share this many images on their journeys.

I'm lowkey anticipating the next year, by God's grace I plan to add one more site to my portfolio bringing me to three sites, this would remain my main site. The other two are somewhat sub niche's of this.

When I get the content right with those two, I'll go on a "creating sites and selling" rampage, I'm on some crazy FB groups and I see people sell sites with ease.

So, have a great week!!!
 
Congratulations on your success OP! Hard work really pays off. Please keep us updated on your progress. I'm sure your thread will inspire and motivate others.

Yes I know it's not easy but it's possible and we are proving it
I'm doing alright and I'm always pushing for my goals
Next year I also want to start my own passive income "generator" which is YouTube automation.
