Yippee! 4 more sales - I'm getting better!
I just checked my Amazon stats and discovered I've made 4 more sales in the last two weeks! Only crumbs in commissions, of course, but it proved to me that I CAN DO IT! This is a site simply promoting books that earned zilch for the first 4 months, then 2 sales (of unpromoted products) in two weeks, and now 4 sales in the last two weeks, this time for books I am actually promoting - and I STILL haven't written any articles to drive more traffic, although I'm on the verge of doing so, thanks to all the encouragement and advice I got from you guys after my last post!
IF I CAN MAKE 4 SALES IN TWO WEEKS, I CAN DO BETTER!!!! (especially if I start writing articles (**guilt**).
To top it off, it looks like all the frustration of the last 12 totally unproductive months learning about IM and how to make my own websites is about to pay off in another way - I have just been asked to make a website for my partner's work! They know absolutely nothing about websites, so I will have free rein on the process - all they want is a site that works. I LOVE making websites (even though I'm still fumbling), AND I WILL GET PAID for it !!! So another new exciting door opens up ... and I'm in like Flynn! (sorry, that's an Aussie expression)
THINGS IS HAPPENING - ARLENE IS ABOUT TO BE UNLEASHED ...
P.S. (SigH) What a pity - I'll be so busy building this website for my client (I just HAD to say that - "my client"!) - that I won't have time to write any articles - whew - saved! (You're a bad girl, Arlene)

Arlene which site? Well done anyway I am delighted for you, but see it can and does work if only we can figure out why! Then just rinse and repeat!
You've already got traffic and making sales and no backlinks (articles) yet?! That's scary! Nice catch! :)
Fantastic! Unleash it, girl! And no guilt allowed--it'll end up making you procrastinate. (I say that knowing that I need to follow my own advice!)
Arlene,
Do not make excuses, my first site http://www.classicalguitartdh.com has been ranked for over a year at or near the top of Google page 1 and it does not convert well. The fear is of success itself. I got a sale of a dressage course from a one page Squidoo lens that has no articles, so I think that must be OK! Well no that is luck the guitar site gets over 100 new visitors everyday and has more that 30 articles linked to it plus hundreds of back links so over time which will be more successful? It is just hard to do the things we have to and for some strange reason we stand in our own way! I did the 30 Day WA course with Marcus and it shows you the drive that is needed to succeed in a tight niche. Try it it will get you through the fear if you just aim to complete all of the exercises, it will work even if it takes 60 days! I am sure it will cure your writers block!
