~ Granny X Affiliate is born.
I learned my way around my website and learned of some small steps I should take to set it up for earning profits. There are many ways to go broke when trying to start a business online. One expense for a tool or service is affordable. Then you find another expense that would speed things up and pay a little more. No big deal right?
Right, unless you never get to a point of making money. That’s an uncomfortable feeling, knowing that you have x number of days before all of those little fees come due again and you haven’t made a dime. If you’ve been though this before, you probably aren’t too willing to sign up for anything monthly or yearly.
There are ways you can spend money to accelerate your success, but it isn’t necessary and Stone is more than glad to show us how to accelerate our success without added fees or with them. Right from the start he leaves the plan of execution up to us. If we want to start earning today, he tells us how and warns us that it will work for now but it won’t provide the long term profits we could get with simple organic traffic.
Global Domains International, SFI, Traffic Authority, LeadsLeap and Wealthy Affiliate are the 5 affiliations I needed to sign up for and they are all represented on my website. I can remove and replace any of them. My free site is hosted by Plug-in Profit Site, so that is who my sponsor is and I must keep them on my site or lose my site. Fair enough! To be thorough, I will get to know these affiliations and all they offer, before I consider their value on my website.
The above affiliations have the most profitable and in-demand programs available. They are high converting and produce great commissions. They speak for themselves as to the value of their services and they pay well for the referrals. Because these are excellent business related websites, interested visitors are likely to continue to use them, month after month, which means I earn month after month.
I couldn’t help noticing that my use of various other tools and services might also be worthy to represent, in the future, somehow. For now, I’m content with my site as delivered. It will take me a fair amount of time to really get comfortable with making changes and blogging consistently, but I see that a routine with specific tasks to do will help form productive habits that will further my business. I can’t imagine seeing any need to change anything, although adding to the site might prove to be beneficial.
There are multiple ways to benefit from the entire website that Stone set up for me, including a newsletter and opt-in, and Aweber. A newsletter is a great way to attract return visitors, with the use of timely and industry-relevant information and news. Aweber will help me to send out emails and nurture my relationship with clients.
Not only does Stone tell us what works best, but he tells us how and why it works. He gives us techniques he uses, tools he uses and recommends sources for anything we could need. And like he has from the beginning, he gives us several ways to contact him if we are having trouble or want to discuss something further.
It requires a fair amount of time to read through Day 1, but if you get right to it, and you do as he says, you can be done with Day 1 in less than 3 hours, start to finish. If you have trouble with the execution, it could take longer. But I’m realizing that if it takes me longer than 3 hours, I’m overthinking it. Though, for Day 1, Stone encourages us to spend the entire day getting familiar with everything. But we should still post that first blog post. I did that yesterday. So here is blog post number 2.
I tend to write and rewrite multiple times. It really does not help me to be productive or helpful. So, this is one thing I can change and intend to. I’m encouraged that I recognize this and can work to eliminate the struggle. And to prove it, I’m going to start practicing today.
I’m going to proofread and post. I’m not going to second guess any of it or add more because it’s too short. I’ve learned how to attract readers and how the auto responder works. I’m going to cut myself a break and post, even if I think I could do better. Tomorrow is another day, another post.
Today, I’m grateful for this opportunity to hit the ground running and I’m excited to see the difference it makes in my life.
Thank you for using your precious time to read my blog. I hope it inspires you to get your own money-making website from Plug-in Profit Site!
Hi Kelli, it’s Stone Evans. I’m excited to watch your site develop and grow!
