Still haven't made any money from my affiliates yet however I can say that my journey in building my website and in writing blogs has definitely improved the number of jobs I am being hired for as a face painter and "party artist". Having a professional looking website and blogs has helped me really define myself as a party entertainer and has opened a lot of doors for me, as well as leading to new and interesting ventures. So I can't complain.
Being that my focus isn't really on making money from affiliates right now but rather on making a name for myself locally for my art and online for my ideas, I would say I'm doing pretty well and am not all that surprised that the affiliate end of it is not making money just yet. But like Kyle teaches in the training, the focus especially in the beginning is in building quality content.
I will continue to give updates about my progress and success here at WA to give the newcomers a realistic idea of what to expect. This is NOT a quick way to make money - if you do stick with a niche that truly interests you, you will begin to build a loyal audience and the trust you build will eventually lead to success. Right now I have between 80-100 return users to my site every month so I must be doing something right.
This would be a smart time for me to add a newsletter signup or something similar and to find out what type of articles my loyal audience would like me to write about more.
Anyway, just remember, slow but steady wins the race. Stay focused and enjoy what you do and don't stop until you reach your goals. That's my formula to success and I know it works because I've done it before, so I know I will do it again if I follow those 3 simple rules. And I know they will work for you too if you follow them

Great post with lots of inspiration. I am really glad to hear that your local business for face painting as taken off and you are getting a lot more traffic and return visitors. Keep up the good work.
Yes, you are right, building quality content is important, but building quality contents with engaging and interesting contents on a regular basis is simply challenging, lol. :))
Congrats on yr number of jobs, well-done and keep it up!! :))
