My first commission!
Hi, everyone!
Last week I asked a question about how do you know if it's time to quit with that particular website (if you wan't to read it, I guess you can find it here: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/authoring-writing-...)
And after thinking a lot about what to do I decided to keep going forward. Only after few days I noticed that I had earned my first commission!! It is only about 2 dollars from amazon.com and not even from products that I promote but it still feels great :)
I still have very little traffic on my site but if I am able to get that up I am sure the commissions will grow as well.
I have spend so much time with this website (but not doing the things as I was supposed to do...) that it would be a shame to abandon it now. I need to get my motivation up and take massive action to succeed.
What about you? How long it took for you to earn your first commission? I have had this site for two years now but just two months ago I really started to add content in regular basis..
Thanks for reading and take care!

I have had my first sale too! I began my site back in October but in december and jan I started really putting work in .My first sale was last month, $4.13 - but since then I haven't had any more sales :( more google adsense clicks if anything.
Congratulations! That first commission YOU receive is a feeling out of this world! I hope you do everything you said you need to do and you will be so successful! Janice
No matter how small it is, it is still motivating. Thanks for sharing your success story! :)
Great job! Persistence does pay off. I have only begun to monetize my site. As much as I would like to see money at this point, realistically I know that will not be happening. I am just having fun with my articles and making more relevant content. When the time comes that I get anything for my efforts, no matter how small, I will feel grateful.
I know this post is a month old but big congrats on your first bit of commission! I'm only a week in so I'm a long ways off myself so I can't comment from an experience point of view, but I can say that it is a huge step getting the first one as it removes any mental barrier that you can't do it.
Before Roger Bannister broke the 4 minute mile, nobody in history had achieved the feat, but in the 12 months after he broke the barrier, another 10 or people broke it as well because the mental block had been destroyed and replaced with belief so well done again and here's to bigger and better things for you!
Congratulations Maria, that is just the beginning, I've only been on WA for a week however what I am noticing is those that are successful are following the training however sounds like you already know that - so first cab off the rank so well done!

Breaking the ice is a great way to get momentum rolling. Congrats on that first sale.
