Before I Start
If you’re anything like me this kind of a title would make you feel quite queezy. I’m sorry if that was your initial reaction. I also trust that you can put that aside in the hope that there are some nuggets of wisdom in here.
What I wanted to achieve when writing this blog post was to highlight that even from a techno-fobe like myself, writing can in fact bring in money and that blogging can work. And for that I needed a grabbing title, which I mulled over for way too long. More than anything else I would like to share how I did it, and how I continue to make money in case you are also wanting to do the same.
I must emphasize that I’m not that rich guy sipping the finest matcha green tea and living on some paradise island. Quite the opposite actually. I’m just about staying afloat while working 4 jobs.
The reason for me admitting this is that I’m not here to brag. I’m not here to show how well I’m doing or to stick it in your face that I’m on to something that you’re not.
That’s simply not the case, and never will be.
All I want to share with you here is that it’s possible, and the $350 that came in that day (and subsequently has come in since) has breathed space into an otherwise tight financial situation.
So, How Did I Make $1000 from a Single Blog Post?
It’s simple really — I shared a link that someone clicked on. Once they brought the product I promoted, I got commission for it.
So, from just one click I made $1000. How cool is that!
I was surprised to say the least. And still am to some degree.
De-mystifying the Internet
The internet is full of links, blogs, videos, posts, websites and all kinds of other avenues that people explore all day long, 7 days a week. It never stops.
I wrote a blog on affiliate marketing recently which explains what it is, how I use it and all of the options that are open to us (there’s way more than you can probably fathom!)
This is how I made $1000 from a single blog post.
If you’d like to do the same, affiliate marketing could be for you.
Who I’m Affiliated With
I love breathwork and anything that rasies the consciousness of others. That’s why I’m affiliated with SOMA Breath and Mind Movies.
I’m an instructor for SOMA Breath and guide sessions under their name. This is one of my 4 ‘jobs’ although it feels more like play than anything else. The other is being one of their affiliate marketers.
The old saying of ‘do what you love and find a way to make money at it’ has never been truer. With affiliate marketing we can talk about what we love, share it with others and make money doing so. It’s a simple and profound way to continue to pursue our dreams (whatever they are) and to not worry if it’s financial viable.
For so long I doubted if I could do what I love and be financially free. I’m still not but with affiliate marketing I have no doubt that it works, and will continue to work.
If you’re stuck for something to turn to, are out of a job, are seeking a new way to make money, are wanting a side hustle to make some extra income, are wanting to make some money online, or are wondering if you can do what it is that you love, then affiliate marketing could really be for you.
Check out my blog to read more about it or give it a go. The me before the $350 come in would never had believed the me that is writing this blog now. All I knew was that I was curious.
