6 Months - yeah! Struggling - boo. Am I Alone?
I just received my six-month badge!
Hard to believe I've been with WA for six months already. I have learned so much but feel like I'm still learning all the time.
Going through the training and learning all that great information really inspires and invigorates.
Now, six months out I continue to learn how to optimize blog posts, make my site look better, how to work-it on social media for success, and how to do affiliate marketing.
I am going to admit that the past month I've been pretty lackadaisical. My site does not get a lot of traffic nor am I making sales and it's frustrating and not inspiring.
At the beginning of training I got so excited and everyone was and still is so positive about making money I truly was hoping to see results by now. I've been really struggling lately knowing that if I give up I will never succeed nor make money, but it's really hard on when it seems things aren't changing.
I've also learned that it would've been better to wait on signing up for affiliate programs rather than signing up for them right away when it came up in training. I am just days away from getting the boot from Amazon and CJ due to inactivity or inability to make the required number of sales in the specified time. I should've waited until I started getting some traffic before signing up for these programs.
I see so many people succeeding here and some making really great money. I am so happy for them but it makes me question why it is not happening for me and what I am doing wrong.
How do you keep on? How long did it really take until you started making money with your site? Am I unusual that at six months I have yet to make two dollars?
Just feeling kind of defeated lately. Hoping I'm not alone.

You are not alone Elaine I have had periods were we just didn't get it. We bare knew how to plug in the television let alone install a plug in. Hang in there. We have found when we struggle to ask till we get the answers. There are so many willing to help.

You are definitely not alone. I do get discouraged because I'm not getting any traffic either. I just keep plugging through the training and writing the content. We signed up last year as a joint venture, and I just started getting serious about it around February or March. I'm the one, between my husband and I, who is taking the training and putting it all together. It's been a struggle sometimes, but I keep plugging away. It definitely is not a get rich quick scheme. It will come as long as I keep working. You are not alone. We all have to encourage each other and that helps a lot. People are making money, so it is possible.
If you keep at it, I'll keep at it! Deal??

This reply was mostly meant for Lynne. I hit the wrong reply button. Crazy me.... But maybe they'll encourage others, too.

I don't believe you are alone at all to be honest everyone here is at different stages. Some make money faster than others the way I see it is this.
No matter what life throws at us we gotta keep going towards our goals and dreams. If not and we give up we wont get there since nobody else will get you there but your self.
Just keep being consistent, putting out quality posts, do your best to keep a positive mindset since I believe in the law of attraction (ot sure if you do?) but what you put out in life you will get back in return you know?
I am not where I want to be I started here back in 2014 to try WA out then I just kind of forgot about it since I was only on the starter membership. Then around late 2017 I just got fed up with my J.O.B.
Being gone for 14 hours a day 2 hour commute to work and back home then working 10. So I remembered about WA got started got my blogs up then I wasn't all that consistent.
I got traffic to my fitness site but I didn't have any links up so no sales. Am I makng any now? not really no but for me I know even though I have been here for about a year it goes to show it is all up to you and your work ethic and how bad you want it.
I know now I want this bad and i will do my keyword research and put out quality content so when that traffic does come they will buy and I can make money while helping others do the same.
Just keep at it and don't let the traffic get to you content is key keywords are key being positive and knowing eventually with some time you will succeed to achieve your dreams
I know this was long but I hope this helped in any way I do my best to help motivvate others since that is what i strive to do I do hope the best for you your goals and dreams
