Hi WA family,

I feel depressed these days... Several affiliate programs rejected me even though I was constantly writing posts and trying to make my site look as beautiful as possible. They did not give me a reason why I was rejected... I was full of enthusiasm and hope and now I feel discouraged...How to raise the spirit of success again? How did you overcome these situations? Your advice and support would mean a lot to me...

Thank you,

Danijela

Hi Danijela, I can relate to you feeling discouraged. This has happened to me many times and I am sure it will happen again.

I do believe that just because one door closes, it does not mean better and more lucrative doors are not just waiting to open to bigger and better things.

This is where that perseverance, persistence, and determination have to take over the discouragements and where you need to fight for the success that you deserve.

Wishing you all the best,
Michael

Thank you dear Michael! Your words touched me... You're all right, we have to knock on all the doors and not give up because one day some will open! Thanks for believing in me. I wish you a lot of success, which I am sure you will achieve eventually!
All the best,
Danijela

Danijela, I will always believe in you. More important is you believe in yourself. I will always be around if you ever have any doubts. You can do it.

We are all on a journey to success,
Michael

Failure can make anyone feel miserable friend. I don't know where you've been requesting for affiliate programs, but there are places where your chances to be accepted can be on the higher side. Have you tried ClickBank, WarriorPlus, Or JVZOO? It is free to sign up with them.
They have tons of affiliate programs to choose from. I would start with Clickbank. After you've signed up with ClickBank, then you can choose the affiliate program based on your niche there. Or you can start promoting W.A. program packages if you haven't already.
All the best!

Don't look at them as failures, but rather "Stepping Stones to Success", Danijela! You are only truly a failure if you don't get back up and try, try again! I remember a quote I saw on the wall at my wife's physical therapy center which said

"The absolute hardest person to beat is the one who NEVER quits!"

You're very welcome, Danijela! You CAN do this! It isn't easy, but for those who keep going, it does get easier the farther you go! I am glad to hear that you will continue to persevere, my friend!

Daniel I know that failure can be disheartening, But it is a massive massive part of learning.
My advice would be to take a day off, go out and get some fresh air, exercise whatever it is you need to do and then come back rejuvenated to start again to write. Some affiliate networks will require more articles than others but don't forget all of them will allow you to reapply.

It's not the failures it's important is how you handle it and it would be a crime for you to give up now when you put so much work and effort into your site. You popped in and out of chat, asked loads of questions and Acted on the answers.
Everyone on this platform who doesn't give up makes it eventually and I can say this quite categorically having been here nearly 14 years. Don't give up dust yourself down and I will see you in here in a couple of weeks when you write your first success post

Dear Catherine, thank you for this encouraging response full of helpful tips. It really helps as much as any of your other help. I will definitely be applying again until I am accepted! Now I am even more persistent than before because I will not allow this much effort to fail. Like you said it would be a crime for me to give up. Thank you for believing in me.
I wish you all the best,
Danijela

Hello Danijela,
You have to inhale and exhale 3X until you've revived yourself.
Anyway, I also disapproved, but I accept it and think I might disapprove because my site has no content yet, and maybe my site is too young to accept. And divert my time to improve and adding content as much as possible, that's it. I hope this helps.
Don't be affected much about it; there are more available there; thank you for sharing.
Best wishes,
Joyce

Thank you a lot dear!
My site is young, has about 5 months and 35 posts, and is not much for large affiliate programs. I definitely need to concentrate on writing as much text as possible!
All the best to you.
Danijela
