A sign of success

Hi y'all,

A few days ago I finished Course 2 and just got into Course 3, ready to start affiliate marketing. It was not as easy as I expected though, once I tried to join Affiliate Networks, it would not let me. They wanted my tax info for my U.S tax forms, and I had to find other networks.

I was looking for 6 hours for affiliate networks and "independent" affiliate programs, but it just seemed like a dead end. I also tried Amazon and Ebay, but Amazon rejected me for not having enough content, and Ebay would answer me in a few days or weeks. So I started to build up my site, added a few pages, made a review and edited it. Then I retried to join Amazon and "Shazam"! They accepted me! That was a big relief for me and it gave me hope. That taught me that I should not give up, but to keep trying until I find an open door. And that lesson is not just for me, but for all of us. And as they say: "Patience makes progress".

Ready to put this into action?

I hope my blog has been helpful to any of you, and whoever is having a hard time trying to progress on their journey like I said, be patient, and you will overcome all of your obstacles.

Thank you for your time,

Michelle
