My First Commission! Woo Hoo

Now I can truly say that I'm astounded and thrilled. Not that I ever thought that creating a business on the internet wouldn't work. Just that I didn't think it could work for me. I'm not the sort of person that has that kind of luck. But it wasn't luck at all, I did the work and the study.

My commission is a small $19.79. But it's from a guitar company in Australia, who really need the support and sales during Covid. It's decimating our music industry all over the world in lock down and no gigs. Musicians and new learners are taking this time to buy a guitar and learn more online.

Part of my success has to be passed onto this awesome learning platform called Wealthy Affiliate. It really was a fortunate day when I tripped over a review of WA and joined my friend Jack Cao on this 10 month journey. Without the support of Jack in those first few weeks I would have quit! I couldn't get my website to look the way I wanted so Jack fixed it, I'm lucky he is my coach. I'm in awe of Kyle and Carson for creating such an affordable and adaptable training course.

The rest of my success has to be attributed to the wonderful people who have followed me and shared the journey here in this community. Many times you lifted my spirits with your own stories and the kind thoughts that you sent on my blogs and on my website posts.

I've made some great friends all over the world, who are always there for a chat or some advice. You are so precious to me, thank you, Heidi, Dave, Janie and Christine. There are many more of you who have reached out and I thank you too, you know who you are.

An extra surprise in creating a website has been the skills in web design and content creating that I've had to learn. These skills have made me more confident in working online and being up to date in our changing world. Skills that I can sell in the outside employment world.

Whatever comes in my life I will always have a business that I can grow, by creating content and affiliate links. That is such a liberating thought.

In our crazy world, many women over 50 are finding themselves unskilled and out of work permanently in Australia, with great hardship. Wealthy affiliate is one way that anyone can up skill for their future and even better from home.

Creating content is still a huge challenge for me but I keep coming back to the training modules and they get me back on track again.

I'm so glad to be here with all of you, new and old alike, I wish you the pleasure of reading that email to say you have confirmation, that you can create an online business for a brighter future.

Wishing you all the success you dream of in the years to come.

Baby steps, everyday!

Love Lily
