A website in the IM niche is up against stacks of competition. It'll take a while, but it will happen if you persevere.

Takes a while to get things happening in this business. Be patient, follow the lessons, do the tasks and you can't help but succeed. Cheers kev

I've just had my first sale, and I think it came more because of my blogging and social media presence than anything else. I'm not doing affiliate bootcamp and not advertising WA at all - I figured I'd leave that to the experts.
My niche is gifts for new mothers, NOT their babies. I blog prolifically about parenting and my experiences of motherhood, and then I share those blog posts on G+ parenting communities, like Kyle outlined in the training.
John, what level are you at with your Certification training? If you keep following the training and do every step EXACTLY how Kyle says, you should start to see your 300 come down soon.
As Claudia says, it's by no means fast or easy money. I've spent many a late night building and blogging and I've only just made my first $2.
You WILL get there, as we all will, if we put in the hard yards. Someone else in our WA Family put it really well in his introduction post recently - "I treat WA like school and do each assignment as I get it". Turn up like you would at a job and study like you would at school and NEVER give up. You'll get there, buddy!
You've got great enthusiasm John. It will be your greatest asset.
