Why do most affiliate marketing beginners fail? There is a popular answer: most people simply give up, and you will often see a 90% or 95% failure rate attached to that idea. The problem is that those numbers are much harder to verify than the articles repeating them suggest. There is no clear industry-wide study…
If you’re wondering how does Flipboard work for blog traffic, the basic process is pretty simple. You take a post from your website, add its URL to a Flipboard Magazine, and Flipboard creates an entry for it. Someone who comes across that entry can click it and read the original post on your website. You’re…
If you’re building an affiliate website, the niche site vs authority site question usually comes up pretty early. The terms can make it sound as if you’re choosing between two completely different kinds of websites. In practice, the bigger question is how tightly you want to keep the subject focused, and how much room you…
Internal linking for small blogs is one of those things that gets mentioned in almost every beginner SEO guide. Usually the advice is simple: link your posts together. Fair enough.

That’s the real question behind affiliate marketing without a website for beginners, and the honest answer is: you don’t have to….
The difference between active and passive income online comes down to this: active income pays you for work you’re doing right now — stop working, and the money stops too. Passive income keeps paying after the work is done. That sounds like two clean categories, but most real online income sources don’t fit neatly into…
How to get your first 1,000 visitors to a new blog is a more specific problem than most traffic guides acknowledge — and it’s very different from the challenge you’ll face at 10,000 or 50,000 monthly visitors. Most guides hand you the same handful of traffic sources tuned for a site that already has an…
How long does affiliate marketing take to make money? If you’re typing that into Google at midnight after reading yet another ‘I made $10K in my first month’ post, the honest answer is: longer than that, and probably not the way you’re picturing it.
