Momma needs to cry
Hello everyone, this is my first blog on WA. I've been on WA for 2 months now but I've been on this affiliate marketing path for about 5 months. In no way am I giving up but I am finding it so hard to get this going. I have a website, I'm doing the training, I'm taking action but I am tired. I'm getting maybe one or two new views here and there, no sales, no comments and it's tough.
I've put so many hours into this, staying up late getting up early. One day I'm feeling like a super women balancing my other business, my house, my kid and then other days Im unraveling and I break down.
I have no idea what I am doing and anytime I start to talk to people I know about what I am trying to accomplish they don't get it and they just look at me like I am wasting my time.
I just want to create something that can benefit my family and give my son what I never had and it's hard. It's hard when my old junky laptop constantly freezes up or just stops working all together or when my son is pulling at my leg wanting to play and I'm trying to work.
I have this big dream for us and some days it's harder and harder to visualize. I'm not sure what this blog was supposed to be about.
In conclusion:
I'm a hot mess, I need a good cry and probably some tacos, like a lot them and cookies, a lot of those to.

Hey Kelly - don't worry what you are going through is what a lot of us go through.
i know i have and still do.
asking - really - what am i doing this for.
you need to write down your reasons for doing this and how you are going to achieve this - so, creating a..., i am creating a blog which helps people...
keep that close and take a few moments to read it every day, remember you are changing peoples lives for the better, once they have read your articles and implemented what solutions you have offered their lives wil lhave been changed by you - wow!
take a little time for reflection to remember and write down what your life will be like in 6 months, 1 year and 5 years from now.
this gives your brain a goal to achieve rather than a better life, describe it. better more reliable car, what type, what colour, bigger house, how many rooms, describe the garden - if you want one!- see it in your mind and write it down.
as i say we all go through what you are going through, you will need to allow us to help you through this.
good luck
Phil
Don’t worry Kelly we all feel like this in the beginning. The thing is though it takes time (usually around 6 months or so) of continuous work before Google starts to recognize you.
Heck I even know some people who are making thousands of dollars a month, but there first year they only made maybe 1 sale.
The trick is to just keep at it, and keep writing quality content — and eventually things will start to pick up for you. :)
Here’s a very motivational blog post here at WA that a guy did showing how long it usually takes for your website to rank and also for you to be making money: How Long Does It Take To Rank & Make Money!? Good luck on your business and just don’t give up! :)

All these challenges are normal for someone new in this online business - what I mean by that is you are not alone. I believe that is why even in the training, there are sections to ask us to take a break.
Give your business a time frame (say 6 months) for the site to get indexed and ranked. 2 months will not cut it.
Keep writing good content around your niche, diverse your marketing strategies (social networks etc) to get people to your website and over time your site will get traffic.
We are all here to help and support you. So in case you are stuck with your training, just raise a question and I believe there are members here who can give you suggestion and recommendation to move forward.
Please don't give up!
:)
