Commission Junctions

 Commission Junction is one of the worst platforms that you could affiliate market for!

 CJ is a third party platform where businesses goes and you can have all your affiliate links and other things you need to promote there.

 I personally highly recommend that you never use CJ and run from it. It is nothing but trouble. For starters when you get links from the company, it has trackers in it and it makes them look fake.

 It will not say the websites name or anything like that it will say whatever tracker front in on it. A lot of people are not getting paid from CJ either just like a few affiliate marketing places. 

CJ reminds me of Amazon because if you don't meet their requirements then they will deactivate you and truthfully it gets annoying and having to go back in and reactivate everything is time consuming. Working with commission junction since 2017,  I have never gotten paid out, I only made cents and never made it to the threshold. I never even made a dollar on there. The only thing I made was 68 cents and that was it.

 I also had a lot of companies connected to this website also drop me and deny me for marketing them. 

Be careful of being Scammed!

 I have been an affiliate marketer for about 9 years now and let me tell you, there are a lot of scams out here. If you do not believe me, I have been scammed more than once working with companies.

 Companies like Haute Flair and when trying to request the money that I have earned, nothing. It has been over 3 years and at this point I just kissed it goodbye. I even emailed multiple times asking about it and there is no answer. 

It is like all they actually care about is making money and getting their website promoted. They do not care about paying their ambassadors or affiliate at all.

 It is like we do not exist to them they only see it as free promotion. That is one thing that I dislike about doing affiliate marketing sometimes is that people think that it is going to be easy to affiliate market but in the long run it is really hard work to make a few dollars. Sometimes it is not even dollars it is cents. 

A lot of time is spent in marketing and promoting. It takes more than just posting a link. You have to explain why a person needs the product and how it will help them. 

AdSense is not easy money

 Let me just say, AdSense does not pay like everyone think that they do. Just because you get a lot of views on your blog does not mean you are going to get paid. AdSense does not pay per view. AdSense only pays per click on the ads and some ads are a nice amount of cents and other ads are only one cent so it ranges depending on the brand. Another thing about AdSense is that it is hard to get.

 You have to jump through a lot of hoops for it and in the end it is not really worth it especially if you are creating content like this and blogs. It is however worth it when you are partnered on YouTube but then again trying to get partnered is so hard that it takes years on top of years. 

We have been trying since 2016 but have yet met any of the requirements to even get half partnered. We are lacking the 500-1000 subs and the watch hours in which I know we are not the only ones. There are a lot of people struggling in the same boat trying to make something out of nothing. 

Another way to kind of make money with content creating is get sponsorships and affiliate marketing but if you do not have the following or that is going to be hard to do.  So no, content creating with adsense does not make quick money and honestly it takes a long time to get adsense set up due to content checking and having to go through and look to see if you have the right amount of things needed.

Traveling and Adventuring

Traveling is always an adventure. Whether you're hopping across the country or jetting off to a brand-new part of the world, the journey itself is full of discovery. But let’s be honest—planning that trip? That’s a whole adventure on its own.

Sometimes the hardest part is knowing where to start. With so many destinations and booking options out there, it can feel overwhelming. I usually check Google reviews to get a sense of what’s available and how others experienced a place. But occasionally, the info is limited, outdated, or just not very helpful.

That’s when I turn to curated travel platforms like Travel up, Trip, Isango. These sites give me a much clearer idea of what a city or destination truly has to offer—from hidden gems and must-see landmarks to guided tours and seasonal activities I wouldn’t have known about otherwise. I love that they provide everything in one place—it takes the guesswork out of planning. If you are looking for a Flight or to book a hotel, sightseeing then I would highly book at any one of these websites! 

If you are also looking for other things to do while you are traveling around, check out Ticket liquidator and get tickets for events happening.

They also make it so easy to book exactly what I need. Whether it’s a boutique hotel with character or a family-friendly resort with all the amenities, I can find what I’m looking for and feel confident that I’m making the right choice. No surprises. No stress.

These tools don’t just help me plan—they let me dream. Each new trip becomes a carefully crafted experience that reflects what I actually want to do, not just what’s popular. For me, that makes all the difference.

Online Personas

 Online personas, will not always allow you to see how a person is. An online persona will only show you how a person is online and how they want you to see them. In real life often times they are not the way they are online. 

A lot of online people hides a lot of things and who they are and how they act. Trusting people online is often risky because you do not know them. I am not saying don't make friends online but take sometime to get to know them. 

It is even riskier if you date a person online because you really truly do not know them nor who they actually are. Yeah, they may video chat with you or call you but you do not know if they have a whole family behind them nor do you know if they are lying to you. 

A person who makes excuses of why they cannot call you often times they do not want to or have something hidden. It is rare for them to be truthful and actually tell the truth. 

A person will make all kinds of excuses of why they cannot see you also. They will come up with excuses after excuses of why they cannot do something and then they will also block you for no reason. They promise you that you can come over and then just block you when you are trying to see if you were still on. People enjoy wasting other peoples time just because. 

It is best to search who you are dealing with because honestly it is hard to trust people because you will never know a persons true colors until you talk to them and years pass.

Stay safe and use Social catfish! This allows you to see who you are really dealing with.

Anxiety

Anxiety? Yeah me too! Everyone gets anxiety and it sucks. A lot of people do not know how much one person may struggle with everyday tasks. Anxiety is not something you can just get over. It is not just something that magically goes away.

It is something that lives with you. It is the not being able to speak. The nervous of trying to say something but afraid of the backlash or what someone is going to say. It is the panic attacks, the seen the unseen. It's the nervously shaking when things don't go as plan. The what ifs the constant worrying how something will go.  It's the over reacting, the involuntary movements and shaking.

 The pacing back and forth. The reinsurance that things are okay, that no one is mad. Its the talking in public but getting sweaty hands all while just trying to order food or just talking to someone you do not know. 

Being bullied in my childhood has caused some of this but that is not the major factors. Being afraid of speaking out due to your parent always has the say and the fear that you get when you do something they disapprove up and not sure how they are going to handle it. 

A therapist once told me sour candy is the way to go. Sour candy calms the nervous system allowing your body to relax in which its kind of like when you suffer a traumatic event, they tell you to play Tetris so that you mind does not focus on what happened or what is happening, it rerouted to you playing a complex game so now you focus on that instead.  

I use Stress relief tablets that helps out a lot and this allows me to be calm and not worry and it does not allow me to overreact. 

I also keep gum on me and chew that so I focus on that instead of things around me. 

Pretty much anything to keep your mind focus and not allowing you to dart off topic or start panicking helps. There are also anxiety rings you can get which also works good. You can turn them and fidget with them which are cool!
