Why Continue with WA?
Hello friends! I have accomplished a lot through WA and I was having a lot of fun. I am now to the point that I am not having that much fun with it.
I have gained a lot of information and that is awesome but I suppose I am getting a little bit worried. I have been here just a couple days shy of one month and have seen no income at all and very little traffic.
I think it was somewhere in the neighborhood of 22 people. I have used Google analytics and understand it a little but I feel like I am putting in all this hard work with nothing paying off.
I wanted a little bit of something like one sale at least by now but nope. I am just quite discouraged and I am considering if it would be worth my time to continue to invest in WA.
What if it NEVER happens and I have just wasted all my money and time and effort into something that will never give back what I have put in? :(

Hi Amber,
I've been here since June. I'm not rushing the money-making aspect of it as I know it will come. It seems to me you need to give yourself some more time. I think 6 months to a year is a fair goal for making money. If you are feeling confused or down get involved in the community, ask questions. go to Live Chat and by all means finish the training and if necessary go through the training again. Heck, I've reviewed Lesson 9 in Phase 1 of the Bootcamp training multiple times but I still don't feel I've grasped it yet. I'm not going to give up. I want to get it right the first time.
Be patient, it will pay off.
Good luck!
Sorry, but one month is not enough time and effort spent. You need to hang in there and create more and more content. Also be sure and finish all the training and understand it. Once you finish all the training and implement it, then decide if you want to continue. But I will say, I've been here over 4 years and its the ones who stick with it and continue to create good content that succeed. -Shirley
By the way, you just had a great chance to reduce your investment from $49/month to $25/month with the Black Friday Special. $25/month doesn't feel so bad. Even now, you can go annually at #359 which averages out to only $30/month. - Shirley
No don't quit. No it's not wasted time and effort. You've learned something new. Your cultivating your skill sets right now. Those dollars you spent on WA are your investments.
Think of it as seasons. You plant seeds and you cultivate them. You keep watering your plants, however you won't see results tomorrow, or next week or even next month.
Water them everyday however, don't skip a day and you'll start seeing your plants grow!
Your learning the skill sets. Even if affiliate marketing model is not right for you, you can use these skill sets that you've learned and apply it to other business models!
I hope this helps.

It takes some time to really see the fruits of your labor but know your labor is not in vain. Continue writing, posting, developing your site and reaching out to the WA for assistance when needed, and you will surely become very successful.
Very discouraging indeed...
like paddling an ocean wIthout end...
Better look if this is what you want.
A business is never easy.
And an online business demands a lot.
This being said. 22 unique visitors is not bad to start,with...
make sure they come back and amplify
;-)
I think most people here have not made money in the first month. That is not unusual at all. Building a business online takes time. It is like a train getting up to speed. It is very slow at the beginning but grains momentum faster and faster as it speeds up. Eventually it can continue on under it's own momentum with little input of energy.
Don't get discouraged. It is totally worth the time invested at the beginning to get a business like this running. I make regular sales now even if I go weeks without adding anything to my site. Most everyone here who is successful will tell you they started off slowly and got discouraged. Many of them even thought of quitting. They are glad they didn't and most agree the key to success here is to keep going and not give up.
Hello Amber, tomorrow is my second monthaversary with WA and I have not made any money .... Yet.
I encourage you to read the success stories here, ask questions about how long it should take to build your online business within the community. I promise you that one month is not long enough to tell - think about a brick and mortar business, would you expect a profit in a month?
Wishing you every success as you continue your journey within WA - having put this much work in already, it makes good sense to stay the distance.
Blessings

I was in year 3 before I made any money. Mostly because I didn't even start monetizing my sites until then. Also, notice I said "sites"
I originally set up too many sites and diluted my efforts instead of taking the advice of the training and working on just one until I saw success. After one year, if we don't start making a little money, then we have probably not implemented some things correctly. that's my opinion. - shirley

Hey Amber. I understand what you're saying.
But only being here for one month is not enough time for Google to completely trust your website.
I was a little slow and I did not make my first $ until month 10!!! And I made 3 figures in month 11 (in november). So it just shows that you have to stick with it and keep working on it.
My niche is very competitive and thus, I have to publish one post almost everyday for this to work for me. If I had given up within my first month instead of changing my strategy, then I would not have reached success.
I would not have known what was possible for me.
Think about the reason you first joined; do you really want to go back to that? If you don't stick with your online business, nobody else is going to change your life for you.
The only way to change anything is to go forward!
