This is my first IM Journey. I have spent the last few months reading and digesting methods of making money online, so much so that it has become a marked daily habit reading journeys and learning from other successful marketers. Now I know the only thing left to do is to take action.
My main aims in this thread is to learn and document the process of making an Amazon affiliate site.
I am currently researching dropshipping, but will leave that on the backburner until I fully learn and engross myself in the process of making an affiliate site.
I am not much concerned with making money at present, more I want to know how to do the process so I can learn from my mistakes, take inspiration/advice off others and do my bit to give back to the community regarding my experiences.
Also having a thread keeps me accountable in my actions and can be utilised to act as a discipline to push through the inevitable challenges/mistakes/problems that will be incurred.
I will hopefully be able to update this thread once every few days. I am in Law school at the minute and am busy at that so updates may be sparse at times. Will definitely try to keep up with this once a week. I see IM as a way to break free from the shackles of the 9-5 life and live life on your own terms. This is a long term goal I hope to achieve.
And this is just the beginning.
ACTION TO DATE
- Done some keyword research - found low competition keywords relating to my niche on KW Finder and MOZ bar
- Set up a wordpress site and bought an expired domain
- Purchased hosting
- Bought woocommerce plugin and set up a homepage with logo etc
- Followed a youtube tutorial to build a wordpress site. Bear in mind I am completely new to this so it has taken me a while to get my head around it.
Next Steps
- Finish building and importing products to my site.
- Review keyword research for low competition keywords
- Begin to outsource content creation for site
I am hopeful to work on this for around 5-10 hours a week and will hopefully create more time as I delve further into this journey
