YES! The Weight Has Been Lifted
Hello again WA World!
I just wanted to take a minute to tell you about something I recieved in my E-mail yesterday morning from Amazon Associates. At first I was a little hesistant to open it, because the last time I received a messege from them was not any good news at all. In fact, it was crushing news telling me that my 6 months of extreme hard work and dedication of advertising for them, was pretty much obsolete (well, the links for products at least). This was because I did not meet all of their requirements to become fully accepted into their affiliate program. So what did I have to do to remedy this? Well, re-signup with them so I could get another 6 months to try again, change all 1268 product links (yes I a tallied them all up) to new links with my new valid ID, and just continue adding/building onto the site. Talk about some time dedication!
Anywho, that was not the case with this E-mail. In fact, quite the opposite. This message wrote, "Congratulations, your Amazon Associates account (store ID:XXXXX) has been reviewed and approved." Reading that put a HUGE smile on my face and it felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders! Very awesome, and to add to that, I did it in only 3 month this time!
So, I want to say to everyone (and mainly newcomers) do not give up! There will be times where you are on top of the world and everything is just great! But, there will also be times where you can get discouraged and feel down. The lesson is; Do not let it defeat you! Keep Perservearing and working towards what you know you really want and it will happen.
Thanks for reading my little spiel. If this post has helped and/or inspired at least one person out there, then I'm a happy man.
Thanks again,
and as always, Keep Rockin!

Jerrick 1 Amazon 0. I love to see someone get by all their rules and regulations and make money. I do not have the patience or temperament to deal with them. Congratulations.
Hahaha! Thanks Mark!
Patience isn't one of my best qualities either. I just needed to look back and see everything that I had already done and realize in the "whole" of it all, updating my links wasn't going to ruin my dream :)
This s indeed good news, I was one of the many who received that devastating email, but like you tried again, accepted and working hard to meet the requirements.hoping for us great success.
Thanks Ruthlyn!
Yes, that first e-mail was definitely a difficult one to read. Some of the things that I did after resigning up, was; Changed/updated all of my links; then I went back to review all of Amazon's requirements; and just did them step by step.
Hope your future is full of success!
Way to power through, Jerrick! You should be very proud of yourself. Many would have given up. Standing 'O'!!! Christine
Thank you Christine! I almost did give up when I first heard the bad news, but then I basically gave myself a pep talk and pushed onward. So glad and proud that I did!
