A Brief Story of Waybeyondpadthai
Before I started going wild on the Steem Blockchain, I had actually created the website called https://www.waybeyondpadthai.com/ that I was planning on making it a niche site. It would focus on Thai food info and probably anything Thai related contents. Not like a casual / fun contents like I have been doing (really?) nowadays.
People don't know what they're doing or are meant to do from the very beginning..
Affiliate Marketing
Of course, one of the ways I was planning on monetizing it was 'Affiliate Marketing'. It's such a nomad dream! Espectially, looking on Pat Flynn's website (If you're one of those nomads, Don't tell me you don't know Pat Flynn!!! ) https://www.smartpassiveincome.com/, it's totally a dream! Day dream, that is!
So the idea came to my mind.. I apply for whole lots of affiliate sites. Like, Travelpayouts (Flight and hotel), Agoda (Best deals on accommodation), AirBNB and all!. Turned out, it's not just having the aff links, put it on your site, people click them and bamm! Commission!!
Believe me it's much much more!
Oh! actually this post by @captainbob kinda reminded me to get back to the thing
Some problems always come along with the affiliate marketing..
Traffic is a bitch
'Traffic' totally plays hard to get. You need to put some effort to get it and obviously, I didn't put enough effort into it. There're some certain ways that I might be able to do to get it this time though!
I will be focusing on a few things..
SEO : Search Engine Optimization!
Really!!! This is a pain in the butt! Though, I will be spending the next few days trying to add 'Keywords' on all the posts! (Which are not many so far, really) and since I'm in Thailand, I will try to hunt down all the keywords about travelling in Bangkok.
Audience from Youtube
This sure helps as @adetorrent told me so. In order to do that so, I will also need to do something about it.. Oh my! To do list will never end!
Word of mouth
I know, this might sound like an old-school one but imagine, if I go vlog somewhere or take photos of something, people who are around would totally want to see how 'What I create' would turn out!
Online courses
I will actually have to study some online courses that my friend (who's trying to build his own website as well) told me.
Why do we do this ?? I actually think it's such a great way of making some extra money or even main income if we could do it correctly. It's also really a 'PASSIVE' income so to be honest, nothing to lose anyways.
I also started to put some aff links on all my post as well. Hope you don't mind and yes! feel free to click it if you feel like travelling or shopping on AMAZON !
** All my post and even on the main menu have the links that would bring them to the Steem blockchain. Of course! Steem is home!
Let's see how the effort would take me on this affiliate link journey.
* Serious question : Do you also use the aff link? If so, which one do you use, amazon/ booking / agoda, etc and how do you drive traffic to your contents!?? Please do share :)
