Starting Threads Rakuten Affiliate from Zero Day 23 | Getting Banned and Realizing the Importance of Followers
My account was banned and returned to a blank state.
The hardest part wasn't the "numbers," but...
the fact that all my connections with people were reset to zero.
It's not like we were having special conversations.
But,
the people who reacted with "Good morning ☀" every day
the people who commented "This is cute!"
the people who pressed the ♡ like button saying "I'm always watching"
Those people,all disappeared in a single day.
I realized something.
When you're posting, it's easy to focus on numbers like "likes" and "buzz," but
what's truly important is
the people on the other side,the people on the other side of the smartphone screen.
Thanks to the people who reacted,
I was able to keep looking forward.
Even just pressing the like ♡ button
"I'm always watching, you're doing great!"
it felt like they were saying that to me,
and it was a huge emotional support.
It's ironic that I only understood this after losing it, but
I realized how grateful I am for the existence of the people who watch
and the people who react,
so I must be the strongest, right!
With that feeling in mind, I posted a thank-you note on Threads.
Once again, I am truly grateful for the existence of my followers.
The text is small and hard to read, so here is what I wrote in the thank-you post
Actually, my Rakuten Affiliate account was banned last week...
At first, I was a bit down, but looking back, I realized something.
There were people who liked every single post, and each one of those likes supported me time and time again.
Just having that reaction of 'I'm always watching' makes me feel so encouraged... I am truly grateful for my followers.
To everyone who gave me a 'like,' to those who left a quick comment,
and to all the followers who watched over me,
thank you from the bottom of my heart, once again.
Someone is watching.
Just by noticing that kindness,
I feel like life becomes a little warmer.
And because I had this experience,
I started to think, 'I want to create content that reaches people.'
I decided to try again from zero.
I thought, 'Maybe I should just quit...' many times.
But I made the decision to set up an account once more.
The reason I felt like I 'wanted to do it again' was because
my notes and records of our conversations were still there.
The words I had accumulated
pushed me to 'try one more time.'
✨Things I understood because I failed
・'Selling' isn't the goal; it's the result of trust.
・How grateful I am for the people who watch and react to my content.
・And that there is always a chance to start over.
The me who failed,
the me who felt down and cried,
and the me who decided to start again,
all of it combined
is what leads to my current content.
To those who are just starting,
I want to say, 'It's totally okay if you fail.'
Being banned was painful. But it wasn't for nothing.
In fact, there were many things I only saw because I went back to zero.
That's why, right now, I
don't just want to be someone who does affiliate marketing, but
someone who delivers while connecting with people.
Now, from here on,
it's a fresh start again!
Your posts are surely supporting someone's heart, too.
Please, never forget that.
