Beaten but not downed - Another small success
Hello friends!
I will share another small success of mine.
It's been ages since I blogged here.
Life was having fun with me.
I lost my jobs 2 months ago due to "efficiency of the company". Been struggling for a month after that.
Sending CVs like a mad man.
It was like you got hit in the face and stomach simultaneously without a chance to give a single punch out.
But God is good.
Through the help of my friend, he applied for a teaching position in his sister school. Same group just at a different campus location.
This job was not easily applied. I always been a professional but not a teacher. So they hesitated on accepting me. They kept saying that I don't have a single experience as a teacher.
(even to the point of negotiating the salary). LOL
But.. hey.. we finally agreed on a number and I am officially a teacher now.
I wish that I can teach SEO but they insisted on me teaching Economics. LOL.
That was a month ago.
So yeah... that's my update for this year, so far.
My rank dropped from Top 50 to 1132. But that's alright.
My website is still making money through Amazon affiliate program even though I have not posted anything new for these couple of months. (indication that WA really works).
Hopefully I can be more active because I was beaten but I am not downed. I will keep fighting and will eventually reach my goals.
Cheers,
Arief Wibowo

Hi Arief- sorry you lost your job, but very happy you are trying something new.
I am sure you can wok some of the entrepreneurial spirit into your student, telling them stories of your work so far, and where you are going. Teaching the next generation to be independant!
Good luck with your new post, and congratulations with the residual from amazon. Maybe you need to make a load more of those and have several residuals to make a whole?
I hope you succeed with your new career.
how is the product launch coming on?

Thank you, Phil.
Yes, it was hard for me and family to be cut off from our main line of life.
Thanks to God's provision that we were able to make it through without significant loss.
It was actually a blessing. If not, I weren't a teacher now.
Hi Arief, I wondered what had happened to you and I am pleased to see that you are back. Sorry about the job loss but great news on the teachers job. Well done you.
Nice to see you back Arief. xxxx
Selamat siang, Pak Guru. Itu pekerjaan mulia. Semoga semakin banyak kesempatan Bapak untuk mengembangkan bisnis milik sendiri.
Terima kasih, Bu Melani.
Pilihan yang tidak mudah sebenarnya. Menjadi guru merupakan hal yang tidak pernah terpikir sebelumnya.
Hello Arief, it is good to see you back and I am glad you got a job! It is wonderful that you are still getting traffic and sales on your site too!

Likewise here, Jessica. I've been struggling so hard that it seems I had no time to do anything else besides praying. And yes, God is good.
Wow that is sad but exciting news for you...they say you have to fall and pick yourself back up at times but its always best when things like that work out so well...congrats and happy you are still making money...I am a Amazon affiliate myself and haven't the slightest idea how to add that our Affiliate program here.
You can't add Amazon affiliate link here in WA. It will against the rule.
What I meant that I use all the techniques taught here to build my websites that are still working just fine even though I haven't updated them for so long.
Ahhh i see...well hopefully I can use what I learn here with WA to help me with my other Affiliate duties so to speak lol
I'm here if you need any help. but expect a long waiting time for the reply. I am still adjusting to the new life.

Haven't heard from you for awhile. Glad to know that your website is still making money despite the setback and that you found a job!
Yes, Yvonne.
I wasn't able to do anything on my website. It was too hectic on the real life to think and do anything else.
I'm here again now. Still not on full speed but I'm here.
Thank you for your kind support.
