There is a FIRST time for everything!

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

The last 7 days have been filled with "first milestones" for me.

  • I gave away my first free e-book (and someone actually accepted it...so I now have an email list of 1!)
  • I made my first referral all at WA!
  • I made my first $1 at WA! (my first referral completed their profile)
  • I got accepted by my first niche-related Affiliate
  • And 4 hours ago I applied for Google Adsense and I just received my acceptance email!

I guess I will be creating my first ad unit tonight!

Ready to put this into action?

All of these "firsts" have given me such a huge sense of accomplishment I think I will do them all again :-)

Thanks to everyone who helped me along the way!
