Happy New Year everyone! I celebrate with another step forward!

Yesterday, I got my first check from Amazon on over $1000! I'm so happy to see some physical evidence that everything I have worked for actually works. These are affiliate commisions. I'm not selling any products.

I was a bit concerned that the check would get lost in the mail or take forever to reach my address in Norway, but it took under a week.

Now I have to go to the bank and claim it, and start thinking on opening my one-man company again called 'Enkeltmannsforetak' so the Norwegian tax authority will be happy.

This check does not even reflect the amazing Christmas sales I wrote about in the last blog post, so there will be more Amazon checks coming along shortly. :)

When that is said, I hope Amazon will implement Paypal soon since the check method is a bit outdated in my opinion and difficult to handle. My primary bank doesn't even handle checks anymore so I have to open an account in another bank just for my affiliate checks.
Here is the proof. :) Have a nice day.
