Motivation? Hit me with your greatest tip!
Hi,
I just wanted to reach out and just get some motivation from you marvelous persons here at WA. Someone who has any tip? :)
I was really in a great mood for a long time and worked a lot. I really liked it and then suddenly I just...boom.. dropped all motivation.
So I took a break but it seems like it not really work.
Inside me I really want this to work. How long was it before you did your first sale? Or what is your best tip when you just don´t think it is fun but you just know that you want to do it in the long term?
Love from Ellen

You mention a daughter in your profile as well as loving the planet. But what it is that you truly desire?
Hi,
That is a great question! I really would like peace in my mind and be able to spend time with my daughter without thinking of how to make it possible. That is why I started affiliate marketing. To get an income and be able to work when it fits me.
I think maybe writing is now really my best thing and not what I love most but I want to make this work to get freedom.
And I'm thinking of doing it at youtube instead when I finished the lessons here.
Maybe this was not the answer.. but I don´t know more..

Okay, so a passion is when you enjoy doing something and are confident that you do it better than others.
Let's remove writing from the equation, what do you like to do more than anything else? What would it mean to you to be able to do that whenever you wanted for the rest of your life?
I like the fact that you're wanting to give youtube a chance, experimenting with different things is the right way to test whether or not you will find a way to enjoy the work.
What I would suggest is that you imagine a product or service that is so exciting you don't know if you will be able to sleep until you get the word out about it.
When you can picture that one thing being so exceptional you can gain all sorts of motivation to battle through a temporary feeling of discomfort.
So, perhaps you had to find the one product that could save your daughter from a terrible illness. Create that story and let it inspire you to find your inner strength to keep on with the training.
Also, if you would rather talk or have a conversation with another person you can get a voice recognition software that will do the writing on your behalf just by speaking in a conversational tone.
Thank yout very much for this great advice. I will think about this :-)
Wish you the best day! :-)
Think about why your doing it in the first place. For me it's the freedom and time i will be able to have to enjoy life.
took me 9 months to make a sale but then it snowballed and i'm now making $1.5K+ consistently each month.
I did have a full time job while i was doing this on the side.
Hi,
Thank you for this answer! Do you know what difference you did and why you get that first sale, or was it "just" time? :)
Happy to hear you now get some money from this! And I have to say that you are really strong that kept going on for 9 months!!
It was just one of those things were i wrote a post and it ranked on the first page of google in a few days. It's been on page 1 for a year now.
You just have to keep writing content and some will eventually rank on position 1 which will bring in most of your revenue.
I think 6-12 months is when you should expect to see some results on your website.
Keep going I don't when the first sale is I can't even get my head round Word Press so if you got site done and you are driving traffic stage then keep positive.

Sometimes it's necessary to alolw the brain
to rest. It's sometimes where mental fatigue comes
from. So you can let yourself breath a little.
Have a great day!

Thank you Ingrid,
I thought I took a break but maybe I need a longer one.
Wish you a great day too!
