@Calvin, you are right, you shouldn’t put all your eggs in one basket. I think niche marketing with income from Google Adsense and other physical products through ebay, Amazon etc. is a good mix.

Focus is good, but a little bit of diversification can really save your butt. For example, two years ago, I concentrated on using Google Adwords for affiliate marketing. Unfortunately, they slowly shut down all the strategies available to affiliate marketers. My income basically dropped to zero. This happened just a few months after I quit my job to go full time into IM. I was forced to find alternative means of making money online.

So I switched to (more or less) free marketing techniques – blogging, SEO, niche sites, Squidoo, article marketing, bum marketing, etc. Much less focus, but when Ezinearticles changed policies, when Squidoo changed policies, when Google changed search algorithms, etc I wasn’t hit as badly as before. I didn’t lose all my income, just some of it.

@Joe, I wish you much success in your online ventures, too, and hopefully one day you will be seeing more sales with the many visitors you get. Have you got Adsense on your high trafficked site? Thanks for joining my list!

Petra,
WOW… you hit the “nails” on the heads…

Your post resonates with me as I have had many ups and downs trying to make a buck marketing affiliate products.

The irony is my true passion (blog not to be mentioned) gets 300 – 1000 visits a day but… the traffic does not translate to sales.

BUT… the subject and topics are so vital (in my mind) that I continue to research and post on the topic.

Meanwhile, my second passion online is marketing and SEO so I spend time on sites (like yours) that target marketing.

Petra, you are on the right track and I wish you great success with this blog.

Joe

PS I just started using KeywordLuv and not sure how the results will be on my blogs… but it brought me here and I joined your list.

Petra,

Nice post. You are really right. I was learning about affiliate marketing since 2006 and still no success yet. However, I’m still not quitting and try different ways and keep learning.

Some results are there. I can make good sites for my other business (school and importing merchandise). Despite they are not subject to be an affiliate marketing, but I can communicate with students, teachers, and parents thru the website. The website is also good product information from importing merchandise since they can see colors and texture of the product.

Backlinking with Squidoo and Hubpages can be frustrating. If your pages don’t increase in ranking, all your links are left as nofollow and that does nothing to help you generate backlinks.
Article marketing is a lot easier with GoArticles. Ezine’s waiting time gets on my nerves.

@Stefan, that falls in line with what I have written in my new post about Building Niche Websites.

I would say it depends on what kind of meaning you have on the word blog. For me I would say my niche sites has turned out the best. They are basic WordPress blogs, with the difference that I only update them once or twice every month. It’s enough to keep them “active” for search engines while you do not have to spend to much time on on them.
