My First Affiliate Commission

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

I am in the process of selling my website, and I have been so busy working on my non-profit organization and also a new busiiness venture I am considering, that I have not logged in to any of my affiliate accounts lately. This week, to my surprise, I received a check for affiliate sales. The amount was small, but just the same, I have now joined the ranks of those who have earned money online.

Yes, I am selling my site, but I am starting two new sites. They are not exactly going to be affiliate sites, but I do plan to add a few links, and I definitely plan to have a Wealthy Affiliate Banner on one of them.

I wanted to let you all know about my first affiliate check because I hope it will encourage some of you who have not yet made any sales. It can happen. The proof is in the check, no matter how small!
