Finally wrote my 200th blog post. Sure it may seem small but it's been a battle and perseverance has been my only soldier. Here's my blogging story:

In 2016, I took up blogging, back then it was simply a "make money through affiliate marketing" scheme. I struggled to write and wrote anything that came to mind, I was an avid researcher and my niche was wide. I was doing fashion, health, tech, and more.

As time went by I switched a lot, there was a time my sole focus was tech then another on fashion. Eventually, I started to lose steam.

I had written 30 articles and wondered why I wasn't making money. I spent a whole year not writing anything until I got paid.

I first got paid in 2018, it was $200, I was so excited. It gave me the momentum to keep going, I wrote 50 more articles then the motivation waned again.

I decided to quit blogging and focus on other endeavors, but my love for sharing my research findings wouldn't let me go.

I went back to it, harder than ever. Set up a schedule and started to write every morning, I eventually broke off the blog from my personal brand because I thought that was the reason I wasn't getting a lot of views. I continued to write and made $476. I was ecstatic.

Finally, my writing paid off, and finally, my hours of research bore fruit. And that's when I decided to reconcile the blog back into my personal brand and never looked back.

After writing about 160 articles, my research led me to find @unstoppableweb
It seemed to be a great project(It is). I quickly registered for their Web3 domain and stumbled upon their affiliate marketing. I reviewed their service and wrote a how-to article for their service.

And that's when I hit a jackpot, after just 17 days, I had made over $1400. I thought to myself, "This is it!", "This is what I've been looking for!" I continued to share that article like crazy, thinking it would continue to bring in 3 figures and even reach the 4 figure mark.

But nay, I thought to myself "Maybe I was lucky" as the 'cash cow' I built began to lose weight. I quickly scoured the internet for more and came across @impactdotcom . I have been using it since then. It's a great app for affiliate marketing and it helps you find brands.

Anyway, I've never quite made as much as I did with @unstoppableweb from a single company but It has enabled me to continue growing and seeking brands.

This is the end of my story, I'll polish it up and write it on my blog. I'll also include lessons I learned and how you too....

can start your blog and make upwards of $1000 almost passively.

Thank you and have a great day
