Day 9

So, I didn't post because I am all kinds of frustrated. People are liars. The internet is a liar. "Sally" who says she's just a girl trying to do the same thing I am is a liar. Holy hell fire.

Let's start with some good news. People are viewing my Benable page. No one has bought anything, so I have made $0. But, I see folks are looking. I decided to up my game there and added a few cruises we have been on (currently I have my fave Amazon things and travel stuff I can't leave the house without when I go on trips). I'll keep you updated there.

OK, so I am thinking that I should start posting about all of the bullshit that doesn't work. First, Amazon. I am not saying it is bullshit entirely. I did use my affiliate links to post to my Benable that I was able to generate via my Amazon Associates link. I have been denied for Amazon Influencer. I have no idea why. My TikTok has over 7k followers. My main Insta has over 1k. My main FB has over 1k. The only thing I can think of is that I only post travel and bs. I don't post anything that has to do with sales, promoting products, etc. I have tried to look into that and went down a rabbit hole that just took me in circles. I spent about 4 hours asking different AI tools, Googling, watching YouTube videos, etc etc etc and got absolutely nowhere. I am putting this on pause while I regain my composure.

Next up, FLIP. I had to set this one aside too because it was working my last nerve. They show money coming in at the top right of your feed. I scroll, I comment, etc and the amount goes up. But, click that and it goes to their games and whatnot to use there (I think). My feed is still a hot mess and is all over the place with ish I don't want to see. I have posted all of two videos (that I just recorded in the app because I wanted to test the waters and not go all out on editing). BS views. I think I will record a few things on CapCut and edit them = then throw them on FLIP to see how they do.

If I hear one more person on my Insta feed talk about pdf farming...that is a hard no for me. I went down a rabbit hole about this and nah bro. Unless you want to index them for SEO or very specific niche content distribution - don't even bother. But, if you have the following or drilled down outlet available - this might be something worthwhile. I just don't have the time or energy to chase this one.

Enough for today. Tomorrow is a new day and a new hustle to explore.
