Over the past year or so, a large portion of my revenue has come from affiliate marketing, specifically one program that has performed very well.

As a result, I've gone all in with this affiliate partnership. I create regular content on my youtube channel and blog. This is all a big investment of my limited time/energy/resources but I did it because it was paying off.

Unfortunately there was a promo last weekend which would normally result in more sales, but this time it wasn't working. I was getting far less sales than normal.

This was very frustrating to me because I invested so much into this program.

Since I'm not the owner, I can't see the settings on my affiliate link, I don't know the full picture of how many people redeem my discount via typing in the code vs clicking my link. So it's all basically a mystery.

Needless to say, I'm very upset. But it's a lesson that it is time to diversify and have a backup plan for times like this where something breaks and it's out of my control.

So here's my plan moving forward,

talk to people in person. get off the computer. leave my house.

i went to my kids' school event yesterday, and i had a casual conversation with a group of moms on the playground who wanted to know how i make 1-3k/month online. recently i've felt like i'm talking into a "void" when i post online, but there's people in my local community who truly want to learn how to build a low-effort business by quitting social media & creating content via blog/youtube.
