Yes, this picture shows exactly how I feel at this moment, I just checked again Amazon and my first sale is confirmed!!

It feels so good! (I'm still doing my "happy dancing")

How did it happen?

A short story of the long way I did to get it.

3 long years here at Wealthy Affiliate with no sales!

I won't blame WA because I know it did not followed the full training at the beginning.

I wanted to quit WA at some point because I didn't get the success I wanted as fast as I wanted.

I didn't quit, but I did another big mistake... I looked for a "mentor" on my own language (Spanish) so I could learn better the art of making money on line.

What I learnt there was I put some money and lots of time with a little or no success at all.

I learnt my lesson.

I came back to Wealthy Affiliate and I went to the beginning of the training on lesson 1

What did I miss? I just wanted to find that crucial point of step I missed.

I started a new site, following each step of the training!!

I paid another full year for WA in advance, I know by now I will stay here forever, this is the place where I want to be for my online business.

Even I follow a few online entrepreneur in Spanish, by now I know the quality of the training and Jay's webinars here at WA.

I have the felling I just need to keep at it and success will be bigger every day, every week and every month.

It doesn't matter how small the first sale is, I will celebrate it the big way and I will keep working on it.

How long a new site can reach success (money in your pocket)

Well, I will tell you a little secret. Just follow Wealthy Affiliate training, any problem you face ask the community here, and watch Jay's webinar.

A week ago, my husband started a new site (he's also at WA)

One week, just one week

One post, just one post

Two clicks on Amazon already!

I'm sure I will be back here to tell you about more goals accomplished soon!

Just keep at it!!
