Hi WA family, I am so very excited to write this post as I have been working very hard for eight months now to accomplish the milestone of my very first sale.

Yesterday I was listening to the training 4.9 where Kyle talks about setting goals. He also mentioned that probably most of us might have earned revenue at this stage. I felt a bit defeated receiving this message, as for me this very first sale didn't happen yet, despite my hard work.
It was only earlier that day that I decided that I would let go of focusing on my first sale, I would focus on producing high-quality content.
I thought to myself. I am probably just not good enough yet. I am still working very hard on my writing skills to produce good quality and readable content. My time will come...
When I checked my email this morning, I was amazed to find an email from one of the merchants I affiliate with stating: 'Congratulations with your first sale'. I couldn't quite believe what I was reading. There it was, my very first sale, is this real? Eight months I worked very hard to reach this point, never quite sure if I would get there.
When I logged in to my share a sale account to check out my sale, I was reading the following details:

I thought to myself, wow that is not a bad sale for a first sale, that means I would get around $8.70 commission. When I was investigating my sale further, I saw the following information:
Wow, a sale of 875,70 is made through a link of my website, that is amazing. My first commission to receive is $87,57. This just blew me away. I feel so happy I have reached this milestone. I would have been pleased with any amount of sale, a sale is a sale, but an $875.70 sale just blew me away.
I am felt like celebrating with champagne as this will be a memorable day for me. I want to say a big thank you to Kyle and Carson for creating this fantastic platform where anyone has a fair shot at making their dreams come true. (I can still not believe this is true, is it? Somebody has to pinch me).
Big, thank you for all you who encouraged me and answered all these questions to come to this point where I am now. I appreciate you all very much.
Thank you

A special thanks to @Jay and @Jk-west(my sponsor), @Dave07, @Micheal(Greensail), @Rudy, @HildeRegine, @DianeScarpio, @Triblu and @MarionBlack, I wouldn't have been able to reach this point without your endless support and training, you are truly appreciated!
I know what they say, if you can make one sale, you can get more. So hopefully this is what will happen for me, and this wasn't just a lucky dip. I do think this was very lucky for the amount spend though and I don't expect this to be an average amount spend in the niche I am in(I don't complain though).
If I can do it, you can too!
When I started at WA, I didn't know anything about affiliate marketing, and I still see myself as a newbie with many things to learn. I am very nontechnical, and I have to practice so much more to improve my writing skills.
If I can do it, you can do it, don't give up. As long as you don't give up, you can't fail, keep learning and improving your skills.
Thank you WA family, I appreciate you all, and I am so excited for the journey ahead, my first sale gives me a boost of energy to continue my journey on to reach for my next goals.
