I tried ClickBank a while back and honestly didn’t get far with it, looking back I think I overcomplicated everything too many products, too many ideas at once. This time I just want to focus on one offer and one traffic source and see how it goes.

For those who’ve made it work, did simplifying things help you in the beginning?

yea man, i def think keeping it simple helps a lot, i messed around with 5 offers once and got nowhere. pick 1 product, 1 traffic source, push it hard for a bit, see results. don’t overthink it, just grind.
 
I have created a static website hosted on an AWS S3 bucket and have already verified the property in Google Search Console. I also created and uploaded a valid sitemap.xml file to the root of the website.

The issue is that whenever I submit the sitemap in Google Search Console, the status shows:

"Couldn't fetch"

However, if I open the sitemap URL directly in a browser, the sitemap loads correctly and is publicly accessible.

What I have already verified:

  • The sitemap is publicly accessible.
  • The sitemap URL opens successfully in a browser.
  • The website is hosted on AWS S3.
  • The property is added to Google Search Console.
  • The sitemap is located in the root directory.
  • The sitemap XML appears valid when viewed in the browser.
One thing I noticed is that my S3 Static Website Hosting endpoint is only available over HTTP, not HTTPS. Could this be the reason Google Search Console is unable to fetch the sitemap? If so, what is the recommended way to enable HTTPS for an S3 static website? Do I need to place CloudFront in front of the bucket and use an SSL certificate?

Could someone help me understand why Google Search Console is unable to fetch the sitemap even though it is accessible from a browser? Are there any common issues related to:

  • AWS S3 Static Website Hosting
  • Bucket permissions
  • Sitemap format
  • robots.txt
  • Search Console property configuration
  • HTTP vs HTTPS endpoints
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
 
focusing on one thing is the only way to actually see what's working. when you spread yourself too thin across different niches you end up with half-ass campaigns that don't convert. pick one solid offer on cb, maybe something with decent gravity but not insanely competitive, and stick to one traffic source... like search or native or whatever you know best. once you crack the angle then you can scale. otherwise you just burn budget and get frustrated.

I don't know where you build your website, but I mostly use lovable. You just connect your search console to them and with one prompt like " make sure my site is indexed and optimized" you get everthing done and ranked in less than a week. sometimes in 24 hours for a static 1 page website.

Rebuilding your website and adding domain + search console should take less than 30 minutes with basics prompting.

yeah focusing on one thing is definitely the move. when i first started i tried running like three different niches with fb, native, and search all at the same time and just burned through my budget.

the trick with the 1 offer 1 traffic source setup is actually sticking to it long enough to test different angles. most people run one ad, get no sales in 3 days, and say the offer is dead... you gotta test at least 5 to 10 different hooks/landers before you actually know if it's a loser.

what traffic source are you thinking of starting with?
