This is my 4 month mark, and I am on my way to creating more!

Today we ask ourselves a huge question. This is THE biggest question we will have to answer for and one that will be the most important question we ask especially in internet marketing, and ESPECIALLY here if you're a WA member.

That question goes something like this: Is what I am doing at WA even worth it and will I ever see the success I want to see? (That success is based on the success YOU envision for yourself).

The Foundation for Success is Laid Out By YOUR Work Ethic, Your Actual Work, Desire and Motivation - WA Simply Offers The Tools

Let me say something. If YOU don't show up for the work, the work will not get done. No amount of information at Wealthy Affiliate will simply magically perform the work for you.

Yes, knowledge is power, but having the knowledge alone is like a supremely talented actor who never puts himself out there to land the role. He can act in front of the mirror all day, but it surely won't pay the bills.

Putting what you learn here to work is the only way to move ahead in the internet marketing game and all it takes is some know-how and for you to show up consistently.

With All That Said and Done, I Haven't Made a Dime in 4 Months.

I haven't shown up enough and I haven't done enough work. That's the ONLY reason I haven't seen success yet.

No, the WA platform is not a scam. No, the WA platform does not promise you anything other than to teach you the know-how necessary to perform work which is backed by evidence of others' success.

WA offers to teach you the ropes. I am learning, and I haven't done enough yet. Maybe one day I will make a dollar, maybe I won't - but if I never do, it's because I didn't show up to do the work that was taught.

You Know, Some Most Famous People Suffered HARD CORE Before They Made It Anywhere

OK, do you think that Brad Pitt had an online course for "how to be an actor in 4 simple steps... choose your niche, set up a webs...." you get the idea.

HELL NO!

But somehow, he made it to the big screens? Do you even understand how much bull crap he must've had to go through to get there? Yes that's right. And somehow he still managed to make it.

We have all the tools at our disposal - we seriously have ZERO excuses as to why you can't do it!

Some excuses might be:

• I suck at website building
• I suck at English
• My skills are lacking in my niche
• I don't know much about any computer let alone internet marketing
• My chosen market is over saturated
• I can't bring myself to write many blog posts
• I don't have time to work on my website because of work/other obligations
• bla bla bla

These things are ALL under your control! YOU have the ability to change them. You can learn how to create a beautiful blog. You can learn how to be better at English. You can learn ALL the skills necessary.

You are literally the only thing standing between you and your success, not some lame excuses I get all the time.

I see so many people in my personal life blaming everything in their lives besides themselves for their lack of success or forward motion - yet they don't factor in the most important aspect of their failures - THEMSELVES!!!

Alright, Now I Want to Know How Long it Took You Guys to Make Your FIRST DOLLAR?

Yes, I'd like to know. I know it's dependent on so many factors, and I don't care how much you make now - I just would like to know everyone's experiences with their VERY FIRST DOLLAR. That's it.

How did you do it? And how long did it take you? Did you have any experience with making money online before or were/are you brand new to it?
