Discouragement

I was going back and forth on whether I should write this post or not. I was on my way to signing up for adsense when I was rejected. I was saying to myself how did this happen.

All of my content up to this point has been all mine. Every thought, feeling, and questions. However, they were all blog post. So I tried my first crack at a review post and I guess that's where I went wrong.

I was writing material on a product/service that I was going to advertise as well. However, in my attempt to give factual content I used some website information so that my content could be in congruence with the website.

I guess Google adsense didn't like that. So now I feel discouraged and lost. I don't know what to do next. I was trying to follow the training and task as followed to become successful at this affiliate marketing thing.

But now that I messed up I'm feeling like I failed at something and may not make it to the end of my journey. I wanted to stop so bad because of this hurdle but something is telling me to keep going.
