One year today.
What a long strange trip it has been. It has been one year since my return to WA. I was here before and left due to the fact that I was not earning any commissions. Plus there wasn't much interest in the sites that I had running.
well, I came back and this time I went straight to being a premium member . What a difference that has made, this time the niche that I chose was something that I had plenty of experience with. Particularly in my navy days.
that's right, you guessed it alcohol was the niche that I chose to write about. Needless to say, that the site has been getting a fair amount of traffic to it. However, I still have not made any commissions as of today. With this being said, I am not ready to give up.
I would like to continue to see where this can go. It is my belief that money is not what makes us successful. The fact that we are here and have a online business up and running, to me is a huge success.
The money will come in its due time.. So in the mean time, I will continue to build on my business and continue to grow with it myself. As I add to the website, I learn more and more about my chosen niche. This in itself is another reason why I feel successful.
Plus the fact that I have made it here one full year, and learned more this year than all the previous years I was here, is a success in itself. To close, I would like to give a word or two too those that are just starting out in this endeavor.
you are going to have some upset along the way, do not let these discourage you from continuing on. Push forward, if you quit at your first or second let down, you may regret not seeing it through. Take it from someone who has been there with three other sites in the past.
Even though I have not yet made any money, I am determined to make this website produce commissions for me. I will keep growing the business as well as myself. And continue to work until the payout comes.
I hope that any of you who are struggling with leaving WA because you have not made a commission yet, you will out aside the aspect of money and consider the fact that you are here now already makes you a successful person that you can be proud of. What your eight year old self say to you today if he or she was standing next you?
Sink or swim it's up to you my friends. Have a blessed day.
