Hustle Hack #4: Number One Beginner Mistake

The #1 beginner mistake in affiliate marketing (and what to do instead).

Most beginners make the same mistake: they promote everything.

Different niches.
Different products.
Different audiences.

Diet products on Tuesday. Kitchen gear on Wednesday. Get rich quick on Friday. They figure if they "go wide" and try promoting everything, they will stumble onto the perfect audience and product.

The reality? Confusion.
Confusion = no clicks.

Especially at the beginning, your primary goal should be to build your audience. And to do that, you need trust.

Here’s the fix:

🎯 Pick ONE niche. It might feel that dog training tools are "too niche" but if you have a product or service you need, you will find plenty of willing buyers.

🎯 Pick ONE product to start. There are thousands of dog training programs and services. Find the very best one that solves one particular problem such as recall or being reactive around other dogs. This is a real problem that your product or service can solve.

🎯 Serve ONE audience. Don't try to attract anyone who owns a dog. They might not have the problem that your product or service solves. Drill down to find the exact audience who needs what you are selling.

Master that, then expand.
It feels slower, but it’s actually the fastest way to build traction.
