I'm on the path baby!

Hey guys, the other day something really really cool happened! Someone on a very popular subreddit shared one of my articles on this Anti-MLM subreddit!. On that day, I also experienced my biggest traffic day ever on Google Analytics, which brought me up to 57 users on my website for one day. Now, I still have an itty bitty little baby website that's 4 months old.

57 is like nothing for you Gods out there getting 2000 views a day, but for me, this is really exciting and I'm finally actually starting to envision myself being successful with affiliate marketing. I know that a lot of the culture around here at Wealthy Affiliate is based on a manifestation of knowing that you will be successful, but I honestly don't think like that.

Truthfully, when I came here I saw this as more like an experiment, let's see what I got, can I really get myself to rank on the first page of google? Can I really actually make some side hustle income doing this? Can I actually potentially leverage this into a full income-generating website within the next 3-5 years?

I've been scared to give this my full attention, I'm scared I'll get caught up in some way of thinking, some kind of delusions of grandeur that propels me to work on a website for like 3 years, put up around 300 to 400 posts on it and see no return on investment.

But I keep seeing small signs that I'm on the right path, little nudges such as this Reddit share telling me that I am good enough, that I can do this, that I will be a WA success story, and all I got to do is keep believing in myself, keep putting in those tiny pieces of wood whenever I can to build the foundation for my house.

Someone sharing my content tells me that I do have the ability to communicate and resonate with people, I am good enough, I CAN DO THIS!

There have been two big motivations outside of what I just described lately. Kyles post about how you can literally do amazing things in life by just making a split-second decision to just choose to do it, and the 90-day content challenge, a video I watched on YouTube from Miles Beckler.

I am really busy with my real-life work right now, and I'm kind of in-between jobs, but once I find stable footing, I intend to do my own 90-day challenge in which I show up for my audience and produce at least one blog post every single day for 90 days straight!

I'd like to end this post by giving a big thank you to Wealthy Affiliate for always making sure my WordPress website is always running smoothly, and to all the members who have answered my PMs asking about how this and that works for blogging, thank you for your teachings, hospitality, and patience!
