The Truth About Chasing What Won’t Change

 

Sometimes doing the same things can end up burning you out. Trying to make and force things to happen or change when they can't change or won't change is only going to drain and depress you and make you feel as if you have failed. If something shows you that it's not going to work then evedently it's not going to work.

 Sometimes the things you want to work and have been working years on is going to end up failing and that is okay.

 It is going to hurt but it is okay. It does not mean give up on the dream and goal it just means to take a break and leave it alone. 

If it is mean to come up it will eventually but if it's not meant to be, it's not meant to be just keep pushing and do something new.

It's a tough pill to swallow but me, myself I am now learning this with affiliate marketing and my blogs and everything else that is not working for me but for some reason, I keep coming back thinking it's going to change or maybe I'm doing something wrong but I have had this blog since 2015ish and nothing really changed except I got AdSense but I only made one dollar from then to here and nothing more. 

Affiliate marketing, I have made really nothing with. It is hard to get people to click links. It is hard to get traction and explain to people why the need the product and it is especially hard to stand out more than the others who are also doing it.

My books, my clothing design same thing. It is hard to get things off the ground even if you push and network. It is hard and it's nothing anyone is doing wrong it's just to many people doing the same things.

Blogs and affiliate marketing

 Blogs do not really make money like people say they can. Yes you can get adsense on blogs as long as they follow the guidelines and TOS but unfortunately none of my blogs does due to one of my blogs are adult content and reviews adult novelties all while they have advertisement for alcohol on adsense. 

Since I could not have adsense to monetize my blogs I have affiliate marketing links and ads to at least try to make some kind of revenue in which that doesn't really make anything either. 

When starting off and needing money to the point you are trying to find anything that will make you something please do not get your hopes up with blogging because I'm here to tell you I have been here since 2016 and have not really made anything.

 I made a few sales with the affiliate marketing links here and there but not enough to get a payout which sucks. 

Another thing I will say is don't get tangled up in affiliate marketing. It is not worth it. You will spend your time giving them free advertisement while you make nothing and it does not matter the company nor what they say you can make because you won't make it and I rather tell you now than you get your feelings hurt thinking it will bring in quick cash.

Also third party affiliate sites are not worth your time. If you still do decide to affiliate marketing then go to their websites and sign up as an affiliate from there. 

People won't click on off the wall tracking links because they don't know what they are unless they have the company and site name in the link.

Trying to make a living

Blogging makes you nothing. It does not matter how many times people say blogs can make you money they cannot.

 If you have certain content on your blogs you cannot get adsense and there for you will be just like me affiliate marketing trying to make it and affiliate marketing does not make you money either. 

You will get commission percentage on what a person buys if they even bother buying which most time they do not. I have ran blogs from 2016 to now trying to get adsense or even trying to make a living but now it's impossible.

 When trying to get people to the blogs it's hard you have to use tags, labels, keywords and use catchy photos and titles not counting the SEO to get the viewers attention to try and make them click it. 

You have to be interesting with the topic and you will have to share and promote it on your own. It is not gonna be easy.

I am giving up working with many affiliate companies because they don't make anything for me really and I get tired of using them. I have been trying since I started blogging and it's just a headache now. 

I did all this trying to get a stable income for my family since I am a SAHM with kids who have autism. 

I also suffer from PCOS, severe anxiety and writing has always been something I wanted to do besides take photos of nature photography.

 I have put in for multiple jobs after jobs and it's like no one is calling nor wanting to hire. 

I make vinyl cut outs that can go basically anywhere and no one wants them. I have them listed on my own site and I share it out. 

I also have a ko-fi for this blog and a Tumblr that allows people to tip me.

I have a gaming YouTube and twitch. The twitch is affiliate but due to no views I quit streaming and I can't get the YouTube to partner due to needing 1000 subscribers and 4000 watch hours.

Blogging

Blogging is not easy once so ever! You do not know what to talk about, you do not know what to say, you don't even know what people like and do not so you just have to take a hit at it cause everyone is different and some people like what others do not. You can talk about anything really and give your opinion and not get made fun of. You can also just talk about your own life and give advice and just talk about nothing and people will find you interesting and its pretty cool that people would do that.
