How I almost earned 25,000 US dollars

In the beginning everything was wonderful and beautiful. Today you learn one thing, tomorrow another. After ten days I had a website in function. I was overwhelmed, even happy, the glittering future was ahead of me. I learned heavily and the web site has taken serious contours.

But only my cousins, friends, and colleagues from WA were coming to my site.It did not make me too concerned because everyone was saying: it's normal, be patient.

Then I invested some money in the ads on Facebook, Google and Bing. And what happened? Nothing profitable. Much impressions, little action, and zero money. The same goes for Google Adsense. My disappointment began to grow, I lost faith that I was doing something good.

And so I did not earned planned $ 25,000. Moreover, I decided to do the first year to the end and then leave WA. I hope I can carry my business with me and somewhere with a lot less money to maintain my web site.

I'm very disappointed with my mentor and it's really a shame that a man can not change a mentor.

My story is not beautiful but it's quite realistic.Everyone can not be successful because not everyone is equally talented, persistent, and smart. But something new I still learned and at least 6 months was happy.
