The Journey to Creating A Content Calendar

My Mission

I will Eliminate The Gray Apocalypse One Blog at a Time by showing you How to Master Niche Blogging for Retirement.  I will deliver you to the doorstep of the 5% Category of Successful Bloggers who can earn extra retirement income through Niche Blogging & Affiliate Marketing.  

With the Top 2 Reasons for failure eliminated, you can be confident that you will succeed where 95% of people have failed.  

Do you need formal training in Niche Blogging and Affiliate Marketing?  I do not have a course to sell you. 

You can do what I did though.

As a ranking member, I’ll guide you through the process of building a successful online business. Wealthy Affiliate provides the tools and training; I provide the guidance.  If you have read this far, you are either a struggling blogger or a person interested in creating an online business and wanting to do your due diligence before stepping out and falling off a cliff. 

Here is my WHY you should consider Niche Blogging & Affiliate Marketing above all of the other “risky schemes” to supplement your retirement income.

The Power of Niche Blogging & Affiliate Marketing

The online business world generates well over $6 trillion every year and is expected to surpass $8 trillion by 2026.  I gave you the tools to create your online business to tap into this market.  You have seen the videos touting that the average affiliate marketer is making $177,000 per year or $14,750 per month.  Is this kind of money possible?  Yes.  But the average established successful blog (2 years old) is making between $3,000 and $6,000 per month.  I am not advocating pie-in-the-sky millionaire status.  I am creating an avenue for a simple revenue stream that will create passive income to help you overcome the obstacles of retirement.  Get good at what you do and the sky is the limit.

Choose Your Personal Virtual Assistants Wisely

I use 5 different personal virtual assistants to help me plan and execute my content and calendar. We focus on creating high-quality content that resonates with you, my readers.  When it comes to “chatbots” like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and CoPilot, you really need to pick and choose your tools widely. 

I have a complete study of their uses here.  Just as you would not want to use a hammer to pound a screw into the wall, you would not want to use a word salad chatbot like Chatty (ChatGPT) to create your post ideas.  But, you would want to use Chatty for a conversation over a bot like Copilot, which deals in facts. 

You Supply You

The conversation started with 95% of all blogs fail within the first 90 days.  And yet I continue to recommend this solution to eliminate The Gray Apocalypse.  I do this because I have formulated a simple AI initiative that will get you situated into an income-generating underserved niche that you have knowledge and insight into.  

Any niche can be profitable with the right perspective.  This alone is worth the price of admission.  Next, you have the prompts that I created for the content calendar.  The time and dedication that you put into your efforts is up to you.  I provide the tools freely.  My goal is to Eliminate The Gray Apocalypse One Blog at a Time. 

You have now reached the threshold of the top 5% of successful bloggers.
