9 months in - what's happening?

Aspiring

Thought it a good idea to let others know how things are going after 9 months here.

You may have seen my blog about getting a nice surprise from Amazon a few months ago, which really reinforced my belief that this whole premise really works. It may be a bit slower than others on here, but I am only at this part time and to be honest, I'm really proud of how my niche site looks now. All thanks to the great training and tools on offer here at WA!

I've had earnings every month from Amazon, since May 2016 and now my aim is to keep on putting the effort in with content and scaling everything up to a decent level of income. One thing I have noticed is that if a customer returns an item, you lose your commission. I wasn't aware of this, but I do see how it's fair from Amazon's side. My advice here is try and stick with reviews for products that rate highly and sell well, as this will reduce your chances of commission reversals.

I'm so happy I came across this platform and stand by everything it has to offer.

Effort in definitely equals reward out, so for anyone who's feeling discouraged, keep at it and it will happen for you.Happy days :)
