Earned my first commission via my blog!

Today I'm super excited to announce I've made my first commission via my blog! Eeeek! Totally had to share it with those who 'get' my excitement.

I'm a mother to two beautiful children age 9 and 14 months. It's my intention to remain with them and work online so we are free to travel and learn about the world and not be tied to any one location. We'll be travelling the UK next year to get warmed up.

My journey began in late August/September this year. After hours trawling the Internet for guidance and a book full of notes I bought a domain with my credit card in October 2017. A few weeks of stumbling in the dark with WordPress, I was researching again. Happened across WA and got to work.

Between educating my children, breastfeeding and being wife I've beavered away on my website at night, during naps and even on car journeys. My site has been built almost entirely from my mobile phone. At times I've been confused, irritated and had a wobble about my ability to do this affiliate marketing stuff. With WA support I've got through thus far.

Today, only a few months in I've discovered I've made some commission from amazon associates via my website!! Only a few pounds but it's a start! I'm really chuffed and am raring to continue on my venture with renewed vigor.

Cheers to those who've helped me along so far. For those who are having wobbles or feeling doubt. Keep on keeping on. You can do it!

Off to write another post.

Bright blessings,
