First Successes First Sale!
I signed up with my favourite fitness company as an affiliate, and I got my first sale!
$55.00 in commission!
(I am not sure if I am supposed to be talking about money) but I will anyway because I want others to know that this IS possible after all!
We All Have Our Doubts at First . . . but Keep GOING!
When you get to a point where you can't see where all your efforts are leading, this is when you have to PUSH harder!
Results will come so don't be fooled by months of fruitless work - the results WILL happen!
The screenshot is meant for inspirational purposes and to prove that yes, you too, can become successful by practising what is taught at Wealthy Affiliate.
Google AdSense
Also made $4.00 in AdSense revenue!
This is the time to take a deep breath and figure out HOW I am going to push even harder now. Let's be honest. It's difficult to keep motoring along when what you're doing doesn't see immediate results.
This isn't how the game works. It's actually how no game works in life. WHen you want results, patience will be your best friend so just keep going!
If I Can Do It - SO CAN YOU!
I have one of the most wide "niches" you could think of - personal development and fitness. This is very broad but I was still able to manage to get readers interested enough in my content to drive a sale.
That's not to say that my main focus at WA is to sell stuff but let's be honest - it's definitely going to be a factor that determines whether I keep going with it or not.
I obviously wouldn't keep blogging for years and years if I made zero revenue from it.
It needs to sustain my life eventually.
Thank You Everyone for All of the Support!
Without you guys, without all of us working together, I couldn't see any one person making anything out of their online blogging adventure.
It's with all of your help that we continue to find success and remain a successful community so here's a massive shout-out and thank-you to each and every single one of you - tenured or brand spankin' new!

Congrats on your first sale. I know it is a process and takes time but I can't wait for my chance to say the same thing.
Congrats! Thank you for sharing. I agree that it's so hard to stay motivated when you don't see any return from your hard work yet. Your post gives me hope and motivates me. Thanks again.
I am glad I was able to provide you with some inspiration! Keep at it. Results take some time to see but if you're putting in the work, there's no reason it should NOT work for you - it will!
Awesome Mike, congrats! Albeit your niche is broad and wide, you can hone in your brand and make it more specific (branching out with time).
You will never be short of things to write about, there are literally millions of potential keywords that you could target within this space as well!!! :)
Keep up the great work!
I owe a lot of my keyword knowledge to @RICH, he has really shed a lot of light onto the whole keyword thing.
And it goes without saying the training by yourself and Carson as well of course.
Keywords was one of the most tricky things I had to wrap my head around but I am getting there!
Thank you Kyle!
Hey Jimmy! I haven't seen you around in some time. It's nice to see you again. Thank you!!
