I made my first sale!

I made my first sale!

Today I am ecstatic!

I have made my first Amazon sale!

OK, I know that ~$2 may not sound like anything to get excited about, but to me, it signifies the opening of a door.

If I can make one $2 sale, I can make 100 or 1000.

How?

More content.

I only have 59 pages of content on one website.

After 14 months here at WA, that's a pretty poor effort. Especially given that the first 15 peices of content were awful. And that's being polite!

Unfortunately, this year, as I settle into a new, very demanding job, I'm not going to be able to build out as much new content as I'd like, but I still aim to get to 80 pages before the end of the year.

With hindsight, I KNOW I could have been where I am after just 9 months at WA, if I had just pushed a little harder when I had the time last year.

But that doesn't matter.

If you're new here or are yet to make a sale, take heart and be encouraged: if I can do this, ANYONE can.

Keep researching those underserved keywords and keep writing good quality content around them.

To our success!

Matt

P.S. I hope that this serves to demonstrate how valuable Wealthy Affiliate is. Even as new competitiors spring up, I have to say how much I appreciate this platform, the training and the positive community.
