BOASTFUL BEGINNER

If you read through several of my early blog posts here designed to motivate and encourage you'll see a pattern. Although it was not intended to be so, I was boasting things like I will make a six figure income online. They were 'see you at the top' and 'onward and upwards' posts.

Little did I realize just how much work it would actually be.

But I stuck with the stuff and didn't give up. I did not let the lack of results get to me. I couldn't - I was telling everyone that I was going to make it big time. I was reading success posts daily and telling myself it was only a matter of time.


PROLONGED PROCESS

Days of enthused writing turned into weeks. I climbed the rank ladder all the way up to the top and held it there for about a day. The buzz of daily PMs, comments and replies, and countless likes. I was making it. I thought. Honestly I was not making any money but I was learning how. I was learning what works. What to do and what not to do. I signed on with a few affiliate programs and began posting reviews. Submitted for comments and feedback. Got ranked. Ranked again. Ranked again. But still no sales and only a little bit of traffic.


NEW DIRECTION

I was promoting Wealthy Affiliate. Not on a dedicated page but in the side bar of my sites. But I was getting discouraged to be honest. Something had to change. So you know what I did? I changed my niche. That's right. That sacred, deeply personal, and passion driven thing. I went in a new direction. I didn't stop what I was doing. Paused a bit and will get back to it. But I changed my niche. Added a new product line with 20% commission paid weekly. I added a new website and focus.

And you know what happened?

SUCCESS!! Finally, Success!



SHOW ME THE MONEY

Within my first month of developing my niche and building my website I had a half dozen brave souls join me on this adventure. My plan was to combine the efforts of many to make something powerful. There were several who talked about it with me. Some who decided it worth giving it a go.

So within my first month there was progress but no money. I thought. SHOW ME THE MONEY. Then in week 5 I made $5.80 -- hey it wasn't much but after 8 months of paying out here and not making a dime it was something. Then in week two I made $8.28 -- this is where my story ends because I am just now in the middle of week 3. BUT I have 19 consistent visitors. I have had several decide to click through and make a purchase. Finally, I am seeing results.


Conclusion

DON'T GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAM!

Keep at it. It will happen. You may need to change some things along the way. Perhaps change your niche. Maybe it is too narrow. Maybe too broad. If you need help to figure that out feel free to PM me. I would be happy to help. But don't give up! You have come too far to quit.

You may have to change your niche. IDK
You may have to build a new website. Possibly.
You may need to try some new channels to get your links out. Probably.



But don't give up!

YOU CAN DO THIS!
I AM CHEERING FOR YOU!

I know long time no post for those of you who have been following me. Best wishes for sustainable online success to all of you. With a 50% increase in sales and commission in just one week I am sure I will be posting more success stories here. Stay tuned. And stay in touch.

Kind regards to you always,

DCarl

Wonderful! Small gains are great successes, and lead to even greater ones!

Thank you Kaju! The funnest part is that I have been able to share my new found niche and make friends in the process. Although that can be true of my still active previous niche where I made no money. But it is fun nevertheless. :0)

Congrats bro, wish you all the best

Thank you Ngoni. I really appreciate that friend.

Good for you...success is a journey with many ups and downs. The only way to get to the end is to kero moving forward.
Debbie

Thanks Debbie. I will kero moving forward! Long time no chat. Thanks for the comment. Kind regards always. -DCarl

Thanks for the very encouraging post! I have no intentions of giving up and want to do what I can to succeed. Sometimes it might just entail changing niches just as you did or getting out of ones comfort zone a little more and find new avenues in your niche that you didn't know about before. Anyone can succeed here through perseverance and hard work.

I absolutely agree! :0)

I'm happy for you Carl. Thanks for your recent support!

You're always welcome Mike. Thank you for all of your ongoing support here. Lert's skype sometime. I had to ask someone what 2000 EDT US was. But some time at 8PM EST US let's set a date. Kind regards to you my friend. -DCarl

Congratulations on your success. I am aiming for that success too. I have been here six months now. I am glad I am learning. Which niche is your new website in?

I wish you all the best. God bless you.

Thanks Nick. I really appreciate that. God bless you my friend. There is a bit of a stigma attached to the new niche so I will PM you about it. Talk to you there. :0)

Congratulations Mr. Dill!

Enjoy and keep going!!

Wayne

Wayne long time no chat! I do miss our dialgue my friend. Thank you for the congrats and cheer. Cheers to you bro. Kind regards always. -DCarl

It's brilliant that you keep inspiring us and thank you for sharing your optimistic and positive results! Excellent work!

I was out of action for a while after a small stroke but, I am feeling better lately!! Just picking up some confidence again. Lol

I just had a little think and that $8.28 is admirable steps in the right direction and I thought to myself, 40 years ago, when I was 12, I earned the same amount delivering newspapers to homes 7 days a week, early morning and afternoons!

That doesn't mean anything, its just one of my thoughts! Bla bla bla! Lol

You will achieve your dreams Carl because you are a wonderful sharer of your experiences in life or perhaps a co-creator these days! Very uplifting and thank you very much!

Your successes will be shared and appreciated by many!

Keep sharing!

Wayne

Thanks again Wayne ---- You ALWAYS encourage me!

An inspiring post, Carl, it is good to read of your successes, that sense of satisfaction can be hard to beat, taking something on and having that courage to change course midstream takes a lot of dedication, best wishes as you continue to grow your online presence.

Thanks so much Alex Evans. :0) I appreciate that. It is good indeed and often we can be so proud and inflexible that it is hard to course correct. Glad I learned that long ago and do not mind circumstantial redirection. Stay in touch. I will try also.

Kind regards always. -DCarl

Yay!! Feels good doesn’t it! Proud of you Carl. Keep up the good work. Can’t wait for your next success post.
Blessings
Suzanne
