Success: First commission and first deal!
My website will be 2 months old in 6 days, and I have already made my first commission from Amazon!
Someone bought a computer monitor from my amazon link, although it was not the one I recommended and linked in my post, however it still counts since it happened from my link!
The price of the monitor is $200 so I guess my commission is $8 if it's 4% right?
And another good news I have is that I was interested to make a review of one laptop which would fit in my website and my readers would love to hear about that product.
But I had a brilliant idea instead of making a review and collecting commissions from affiliate, I contacted the company asking if I could get a free sample in exchange for a review of the product and promotion of their company on my website.
They agreed and we are sorting out details, I will just cover the shipping!
The product is the laptop, and it will be my pleasure to review it and get one for free for just reviewing it. :)
And I contacted one blog to pitch a guest post, and it's going to happen after I brainstorm many ideas for the post and they will pick one out.
My website is iAppleRebel .com and it's not even 2 months old.
In the last 30 days my website had 325 sessions in which 68 of them were organic.
And in the last 30 days my website had 1.534 views, 504 of them were organic.
Although, I don't even have any post on Google's first page. I have many of them on second or third page.
I lately lost a little bit of motivation because I didn't have many ideas for new posts but after this good news I am full of motivation again.
I write 3 posts a week so I always need to come up with new ideas and sometimes I don't but if that happens to you it's okay.
A good relax, keyword research and I am back on the track!
Thanks for reading my progress so far, and I hope it will lead to much more success in the upcoming months.
I am currently on the Course 5 Lesson 9, and this first commission really surprised me today when I logged on my Amazon account. It's a huge motivation.
It will happen to you too if you keep working hard!
I had doubts in the beginning but not anymore, keep working hard.
Another good tip I have is to keep yourself around motivating quotes as much as you can. They help a lot :)
That's it guys, I wish you very best!

Thank you for sharing. Your success belongs to us all. Now i will be more motivated to find time to go to WA everyday and take one more step. Persistently and painstakingly placing one block on top of the other soon brings results when the blocks become a house.
Exactly!
That's true and I wish you good luck man.
I hope you will experience success very soon.
Cheers!
you are thinking creative how to make money - you never know what you will come up with - keep it up - a number of us are searching also - we need to share. Keep thinking!
This is an additional comment from the comment below. So read that one first. :)
Ok, I just read your blog post above. Thanks for that! I really enjoyed reading it through, I'll refer to it often!
They are giving you a laptop for doing a review? You lucky guy:)
You have definitely found your niche and you good at it!
I'm still so excited for you!

Lemy, I did not even finish reading your post, lol! Sorry about that. It's only because I'm just so happy for you. And quite frankly, I'm not surprised with respect to you receiving the fruits from your labour.
Way to go my friend and that's great news!
There's more to come. You'll see, just wait!
Becky :)
Thanks so much Becky.
It's very possible, it only takes time, dedication and works to achieve it.
Work hard and spend some time on it now, and then enjoy later :)
Thanks for supporting me, I am glad you liked my post! :)
I wish you all the best Becky, much success in the upcoming journey!
I just read that today. Put in the "Time first," with a good measure of "Hard work." I'm just starting to create content and thought I would finish it all this weekend. Nope!
Thanks for your blog post! And again congratulations on your first sale with Amazon. :) Who knows where you will be six months, a year, two years, from now? In a better place by the sounds of it.

That's so true, I like that quote.
Exactly, in the training, Kyle is telling us to make goals and he is helping us understand that this process is for not getting rich overnight, and he is even telling us in one lesson that in 3 months or 6 months from now we will be way bigger and our business will be way-way better.
Thanks for being so kind Becky, it's my pleasure to talk with you :)
That's great Dario! I might try that idea with the football boot site I've currently got, to see if I can keep and test boots!
I agree results come with hard work, which is why I'm going to keep on creating content on a daily basis!
All the best to you!

That's a great idea as well, you can try that option or you can always be an affiliate if they say no.
However, make sure you don't get discouraged.
I have asked 5-6 sellers and only one agreed to it.
And you never need to stick with only one seller or a brand. There are always different options.
And you don't always need to keep them, you can try them, make a review and sell the product if you don't need it - it will still bring revenue that way.

You are missed. Continue on your journey because success waits.
