Message: hello lynn im trying to get started in the affiliate marketing biz (have been for about 8 months) & im getting more than a little frustrated. i got the web site the blog all that & have been floundering like crazy trying to make it work.im getting ok traffic (about 200 visits a month) no its not great but rome wasnt built in a day & i recognize that. i have spent countless hours & a few thousand dollars trying the \"mentoring programs\" this guru that guru talking me into \"all you need is this or that\" & everything will work out great. all for nothing but wasted money & time to the point i dont know who is lying or telling the truth anymore. i dont even think im asking for to much just a way to replace my current income with the same or a little better so i can have more time with my family. my question is can you help me? look at what i have & tell me how to either fix it or make it better & most importantly make it work? i know it can work & im not looking to make millions in the first year or even the first 3 years i know it will come but patients is a virtue that i live by. so if you can take a look & please advise or any help i would be more than grateful here is my site www.preppingparadise.com thank you very much

Yes we can do our best to help you here on the main forum but if you want more one on one help Lynn does offer an elite mastermind group where we really dig in and look at specifics AND she helps you every step of the way.

I went to your website (blog?) and by the domain I thought it would have something to do with the beach and you have an image there that makes me think it's about travel BUT the headline is Fitnesshealth.

Tell us more about your blog and what you envision it becoming.

My first instinct after seeing the info already on it was it looks very spammy and crowded. There are links to clickbank products but no real content.

I have a successful weight loss blog (plus fitness, healthy living, etc.) you might want to take a peek at and Lynn has a blog about low carb diet tips plus traveling.

Looking forward to helping as we can.

Hi Steve,

Glad you joined us here!

I agree with Angie. The domain and the design don't match the topic or the content. Also, I noticed you created the site on Weebly. Ideally you'll want to set it up on WordPress. Here is a checklist to walk you through that process:

How to Start a WordPress Blog

I would love to hear your vision for the site as well. What would you most like to do with your site, and is Fitness/Health a topic you're passionate enough about to write consistently and talk about via Social Media long term?
