If you try to rush.
I got through two stages of training in 5 days. Or so I thought. I knew my website was not finished. At best, it is around 60% of what I want it to be. Content wise. I was really interested in the making money part, so I went ahead and started level 3.
I joined the Amazon UK affiliate program, made a few links to a few reviews I highly recommended, then went on twitter to dish out my new website.
Woke up 5 hours later to an email from Amazon. They've taken my affiliate link away from me. Why? Because they reviewed my website and came to the conclusion that as it was not finished, it will not be mutually beneficial (for them). So I am back to finishing content for my website.
When you hear "content is KING", it really is. I've just experienced first hand what a consequence for not giving content the attention it deserves. It is a minor set back, but hey ho, I've given myself until the weekend to have the first draft of whole content finished.
Update 1: 05/02/2015
I've sent off a second application this morning before going to work to be an Amazon associate even though the website is 70% (at best) finished.
I just want to first thank you for all your support so far, and I greatly appreciate it. Secondly, I want you to know, if you dont take a risk, you will not know. Worst thing that can happen is sit on the fence and then regret it at a later stage. I can happily say, I will not regret joining WA.
Much love, and thanks for reading (again)!

That has happened to me too. I am still adding content to my site but wanted to link the books that am putting on there! Hopefully I will be there soon.
I've finally been approved! I took another chance this morning even though I knew the content was not finished. Fingers crossed you'll get there sooner than you think :)
