Feeling discouraged
I am feeling pretty down right now. I worry that I am wasting my time, that I write and write and tinker with my site, and it is all for nothing. I have targeted low hanging fruit keywords, I have made my sites look great, and still I feel like it will lead to nowhere.
I want to utilize every moment I have to the fullest, I have such little time every day to devote to this. I love doing it, I love writing, I love feeling proud of myself for what I have created. But. I also feel down some days, like today.
I feel like I don't know what to do next. I know I should write a post, but gah....some days the inspiration feels gone. If I could make even just 50 cents from an affiliate link on my site I would be so pumped!
And yet, I see nothing happening. I feel like I am just another site in a sea of sites. Who is honestly going to click my link and buy? I never click links and buy stuff, I am also always broke, so maybe I am a bad example.
I feel like the only way I could ever make money at this is by getting into the "how to make money online" niche.
I guess what I would love from the community is some encouragement, someone to say, hey, I was there too, and I made it!
I am sure a lot of you feel this way at times. I guess I just want this so badly, Maybe I am being too impatient.
What would you say is the most important thing to do when you are feeling down and discouraged and want to just give up?

Ok, so I'll try to encourage but also give you a reality check.
I've been in WA almost 2 months longer than you and I still have had no sales either. Just keep going. This isn't a race. Perhaps we both had more to learn, or less time in our daily lives to get it moving forward, or perhaps our niche just hasn't supported our goals yet.
Kyle tells us over and over that it took him 6 months to start making a bit of money regularly. You've been in WA barely one month.
You have a choice: you can give up and never find out if you might have been successful or you gut this one out and find new excitement in learning more. I've wasted opportunity before by giving up too soon. I won't do it this time. Hopefully, you won't either.
i have been doing it for longer then 1 month, I joined WA after being at this for a few months, but yea, i know it takes time and work :)
So, don't be discouraged (a little bit for a day or two is ok - I've been there). Why does your profile start date say October 24, 2014?
There is a point in this business, it seems for many, when we hit a wall. Usually we post something similar to what you have written. Mainly, it's because our site still needs more content. I'm kind of slow when it comes to developing posts, so my site is still somewhat "immature" in that way.
Once you bust through this wall, you'll grow with the learning again.
hey Andrea, watssup
There are certain days which doesn't go well as we planned. If your feeling low and discouraged, I would suggest, take a break from your routine. Do whatever you love the most, free your mind from all negative thoughts. Take a walk or spend time with your children. Once you feel you have recharged yourself, you can take control of what you are doing. If your website is not doing well, ask for a review. Let people suggest you from visitor point that what is missing, it never hurts to ask for help. You are doing great at WA, don't let anything run you out of steam. Wish you success in near future.
