Affiliate For Christ

 I got into affiliate marketing years ago, driving online traffic to businesses for added income. What worked well for me was clothing and accessories so I ran with that and grew a large audience in record time. I was putting outfits together and because of the overwhelming engagement from people all over the world, I noticed at one point I had over a million daily viewers. I was getting emails from businesses to feature their products on my social platforms and to also do reviews. People were contacting me for outfit ideas for their upcoming events.

I did well with one particular business so I eventually dropped the others. It was very good to have additional income every month. I was posting outfits up to three times a day because I had tailored an audience that loved fashion. 

I'm not quite sure how it started but I eventually started posting a scripture every Sunday.

Over time I started losing interest in sharing outfit ideas to people. I felt that my life should be about much more than that. Too much time was being spent on it. It went past losing interest to a complete turn off. I became  so disgusted with it that I unpublished my pages and spent time trying to scrub all the outfits from them.

The Lord directed me to "drive traffic" to Him and this is how this blog was born. I started paying much more attention to the things of God, what He created and it brought me so much peace and purpose. From looking up to the sky and seeing the beauty of a sunrise or sunset, to admiring the variety of beautiful flowers during Springtime. It is truly amazing to see. We cannot help but think of our awesome God when we think about all He has created and majestically so.

I was thinking of that huge audience I was sharing outfits with and was wondering what I was going to do with those accounts. Why not share God's word with them instead, not just on Sundays but every day. This was the Holy Spirit guiding me to that decision. I renamed the pages, did some more scrubbing, because it was years of posting and now by God's divine intervention I'm working on winning souls for Him.

We are all charged as Christians to share the gospel and to live a life of service. While it is good to have an extra income to help with our living expenses, we cannot allow all of that to consume us. It takes away time that should be spent doing what He has called us to do. His word tells us in Matthew 6:33 to seek Him first and He will provide us with what we need.

Matthew 6:33-34 

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
