I'm so happy! I finally got my first commission from Wealthy Affiliate!

I usually earn money on the Amazon Associates program, but this tells me that it is possible to earn money from the WA affiliate program too. I haven't really started promoting WA yet, and have only gone through half of the Bootcamp, but I have a Norwegian site I have high hopes for in that niche.

It feels good to get some WA dollars on my Paypal account. :) A taste of success.

The shopping seasons is coming very soon

Now, I'm looking forward to Black Friday and Christmas since my sales skyrocketed last year these shopping days. I wrote a blog post about it back then.

This year my general sales each month is much, much higher than the average month last year, but I'm not happy with my own efforts in positins my sites to this years shopping season.

Still trying to reach my goals

I haven't really reached my goals of a steady 500 visitors a day or more visiting my best site... And I have not been able to make as much good content as I had hoped for this year.

I used a ton of time writing a long list post about 130 Running Blogs (I have written a blog post about that one too - https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/andreass/blog/i-go... ) It gave me a ton of backlinks... many low quality unfortunately, but I didn't see much increase in traffic.

Now, back to work.
