After a 18 months, about $1,500 invested and hundreds of hours, I'm setting aside my personalized children's books website. I had over 300 books from several publishers, 600 followers on Pinterest with 1,500 impressions. Even hired Jay as my website couch. It was my third website. Had visions of making addtional income as I reach retirement.

So how many books did I sell, three, and those are the ones I bought to make sure I had set up the comission tracking correctly. Never got more than five hits in a week on Google Analytics. What seemed like a great niche and was told so, didn't pan out at all. So I've set everything WA aside and and work on something that I know I can see resutls, creating stained glass windows.

A few things I learned: just because you've got a great idea, doesn't mean it's going to pan out no matter how hard you try. Even professional assistance sometimes can't move the needle. All the encourgement doesn't bring success. So, yeah, I'm a bit soured on the concept.

Those of you still working hard, keep it up, but make sure you know when it's not working and when to stop and do something different.
