Thank you all for your replies, gosh its good having this community, Im going to stick to my Bootcamp Website after reading your blog post Scott, I was just having my doubts but now I know its the norm and ive just gota keep going, thanks again for all your replies :)

You are very welcome Liz!

I know exactly how you must feel about now and I experienced the same thing during my first couple of months here. This is perfectly normal and not something you should worry about.

The WA affiliate boot camp will end up paying you a whole lot more than $4. This is one of the best ways to build up your residual income and continue getting paid month after month for work you did months or years ago.

If you need any more advice or have any questions please let me know.

Hi Elizabeth,

I thought you were enjoying the boot camp and promoting WA? I think you have come a long ways since you started here 3 months ago. I know you are only going to continue to get even better as time goes on.

Why would you want to start over when you have put so much time and effort into your current website? Trust me once you start getting traffic and sales it will be well worth it.

As far as your domain name issues go, I'm not sure what to tell you about this. I would start adding content to your new domain name and try not to worry about your other site right now.

How much traffic are you getting to your money abundance site?

It took me around 3 and a half to 4 months of lots of hard work, dedication and motivation before I got my first sale. Read my full story here----> Would you trade $359 for $3500?
What if I had quit right before I made that first sale? Where would I be now? I probably would have never got the chance to meet you and it has been a pleasure working with you so far Liz.

All the hard work that I put in during that time has definitely paid off and is continuing to pay me to this day.

Stick with this and don't give up and you too will experience lots of success. Keep in touch with me and let me know how you are getting along and if you need my help with anything.

You have come too far to look back now
Let's do this
Your Friend, Scott

I know how you feel, I've been there myself, more than you can imagine. LOL

I know how tough it is going daily without seeing what you want to see. I've had my irritating days too and still have them after a year. LOL I think I've experienced more bad days than good LOL

I've wanted to quit so many times, but somehow I kept the faith. I personally think you're doing a great job with your site. You just gotta be patient and keep adding content,

I wouldn't recommend building another site, till you learn how to make money with the site you already building.

Just keep pushing it girl, you got this. :) Evelyn

You are promoting WA, I see, so if if you want to try a niche about your passion, just leave the Wa site out there to care for itself for a while and make another site. Maybe you want to go back to your WA.site at a later time. You can have many sites here, so it's only the 10 dollar cost of a domain and you are good to go. Give it a try, it's hard to do good work on a site if you don't have special interest in the topic, good luck.

Don't give up Elizabeth, I wrote a blog post about the 3/4mth "danger" period. Is it working

Yes you can

Imagine you got an entry level job at Walmart. One day you dream of being manager. But 3 months in, chances are you're still going to be stacking shelves. On the face of it, you wont have progressed much.
But, if you sit back & think about the past 3 months you'll be surprised about what you do actually know about the business. From your own experiences & from talking to those around you & learning from them.

At Walmart you're going to have to keep slaving away, making very little progress in your career for years & years before you get a good income & nice car.

But things happen faster online. Although they don't happen instantly.
If you're building your website, you just keep going with the content and slowly getting into the social media side of things. It's going to take time, maybe a year or two until you start to see the fruits of your labor. Think of this period as your internship.

So you need to stick with it. On the way you're going to learn a whole lot about making sites & promoting them. You'll learn enough that you could decide to make sites for other people, or teach them how to do it in order to make money.

The books aren't a great idea. It's going to be easier to try to sell one item for, say, $100 than 25 books for $4. So you're probably going to need 25 times the number of visitors to make the similar commission.

Thank you for your reply, would you think it would be better for me to do a website on something I am very interested in over something I am not completely interested in (but have already started)... what would you do?

Doing a site on something you love will make it easier to keep going - that's for sure. It won't feel like a chore.

You might not even have a plan about how it can make money. But you're going to discover that other people are interested in the same things as you and they're going to be searching for your content.

Making money wasn't something i thought about when I made my first site and that's still going ( and now making quite a lot of money ) 15 years later.
