When they start talking about how long an affiliate business takes to make money compared to service business models, I had to admit the truth. I've shared my affiliate links in TONS of places, and I have yet to break the $100 earnings mark. Meanwhile, my dropshipping ventures have made more than that in the first month.
I changed the nails dropshipping site to an affiliate site. Why? Because of laziness. Because of my refusal to do the work. I didn't feel like rewriting titles and descriptions for about 60 items. Even though I knew that making those updates would only improve sales. Switching to an affiliate model was a stupid move.
If I want the business I have to do the work. There's no way around it. I can't afford to pay someone to do it, so I have to do it.
The nails business is switching back to the dropship model. What will I do differently this time? A few things:
- Import and revise a small number of items at a time. I got overwhelmed because I listed almost 100 items that needed to be updated. Adding about 10 items at a time should be good.
- Implement a consistent marketing plan to generate sales.
- Once the store is profiting $40 per month, I'll upgrade to the complete order automation plan.
