What Commission Growth Looks Like

Hey there!
I've been going back and forth about sharing this but I guess I'm going to share it now but I might get nervous and delete it later so you better read it quick, lol!!
I know there's a lot of new people in this community everyday and some who have been here for a while but aren't getting results...so I thought sharing this might help give you some encouragement.
Please do not steal my results, make your own. I couldn't open the web-photo editor because my connection is that slow right now...Yes...My connection is THAT slow... #countrylivin...
The only thing is, I can't bring up all the 'zero dollar' months that came before this.
The importance of sharing these particular results is for a few reasons. Actually, this account was originally closed beccause I didn't make enough sales.
So there's technically a bunch of zero months before these results. It came active suddenly when one of my posts that didn't rank all of a sudden gained traction.
That's where these results begin, December 2017, $10 and the account reactivateed. I had no idea that it COULD reactivate like that but it did apparently.
So now I have two Amazon Associate accounts and these results are from the one site so I can show you stats and progress for one site.
Of course, results vary so you can probably even do better than these if you work hard. And if you're not don't feel bad and compare. Your time will come too.
There is also another 'zero month' for January when I started working on it more. For 4 months I worked on it with little earnings and I wondered if I was wasting my time.
No, I decided to stick with it. In May, you can see a HUGE jump from $86 to overe $300! Completely flew passed a hundred and two hundred dollars.
So the moral of the story is not to give up just because you're not seeing immediate results. Also, note that the domain's one year bday is April and I still wasn't making over $100.
My very first site I didn't make more than $12 before I quit and I really really really should have stuck with it. I could go back and bite myself for quitting but hopefully you take my advice and just stick to the process.
Don't focus on earnings or traffic. Focus on creating quality content and helping others solve their problems.
Hope this helps :)

It's amazing to see commissions grow!! I reached my $100+ milestone in July, and since then it's slowly been growing to $150+, $250+, $300+ (August). Can't believe I was putting off Amazon for so long.
... (Here I was typing a question here about Amazon pre-order Amazon associates: do you get paid for pre-order items? but then saw your comment on that Amazon question lol.)
