Gonna make this short and sweet.
I started my first article early January. I'm an aspiring entrepreneur, so I spend my time in many different areas like Social Media Marketing, trying to do dropshipping, ecommerce, YouTube, many other things. I focused on writing articles through WA and got burnt out writing a blog which I am not that interested in.
Some of you may have seen me being active a month+ ago. I became pretty inactive but I'd still outsource my articles and edit them to post onto my website.
A few weeks ago, Mid Feb, I went into my Google analytics and I was pleasantly surprised that I have 1~4 unique visitors everyday. This was a great achievement for me as I only have 9 articles on my website. (Though they are all more than 2000 words long)
Today - 13/3/18 , I finally checked my amazon associates account, 2 different people bought through my links - all in the month of March! This was a real indicator not to give up. I made my first $3 and I'm so happy right now.
Don't give up guys. My articles are long but they are not perfect. Lack of vocabulary and bad at expressing my words, but it still worked.
