My Progress
Not too long ago, 4/10 and 4/16 of 2018, I was accepted into two fairly big independent affiliate programs.
My website was only about 2 weeks old, going on 3, so I'm assuming they noticed the potential, as usually it takes more progress to get accepted into independent programs.
By April 15th, I had already made my first sale. However, nothing to get too excited about, as I kind of cheated to do it. I don't necessarily see it as cheating, more so, experimenting, but I did, in fact, jump ahead, and spent very little Google Adwords advertising.
I won't go into how much I spent, $40, :D but I used the $50 sign-up bonus I got when I was accepted into the program, so I guess you can say I didn't lose anything right?
Not putting the $50 dollars into play, I made $21 dollars off the sale, so I made a little over half of what I spent on advertising.
Although I did not profit off the advertising, I do believe it was a plus to make my first sale, as it was more of a test run. I wasn't even expecting to make a sale at all, as a matter of fact. I was just trying out keywords/negative keywords that would help me get going in the right direction.
Anyways, my website is still very young, 3 weeks going on 4, and I will not be spending anymore on advertising until I feel that my sight is ready, or at all for that matter.
For now, I will continue with what I've got, and I like where this is going so far.
Good luck on your journey,
Brandon

Congrats. Always great to get that first sale. And it's not cheating... You placed and ad, which in reality cost you nothing, and made a sale.. So in actual terms... Profit
