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.
