I finally made commission and I couldn't be happier. All I needed was that little nudge to keep me going on. If you can get one sale, you can get a million sales by maintaining and increasing your efforts on a daily bases.

Ok so how much did I make? Here is a snapshot with the details:

......... Ok apparently uploading the image isn't working. Well I earned $9 from selling 20 Amazon products. It was my first 20 sales and the commission percentage was still on 4% so yeah. The user made an order amounting to $149 and I received $9 commission from the sale. It takes Amazon 60 days to properly approve the sale and pay the commission because of return policies that my be made use of by the customer.

So there it is folks, $9 earned, $81 to go until my minimum payout threshold as requested by me. Once I have earned $100 Amazon will send a cheque to me in South Africa and I will cash it in for Rands, currently its R11.50 and rising.

$100 is 10% of my current monthly earnings here in SA. When I start consistently making over $1000 a month I can resign from current work place.

Once I have reached my next goal of $100 I will go for $1000 then $10 000 and then $100 000 and I will do it, if I don't give up.

I'll keep this blog updated with all the developments to come.

Keep on keeping on people!

Charles.
