No sale in 6 months - Should I be discouraged?
Well, I joined WA almost six month ago. It has been an interesting and informative journey so far. I am a medical practitioner. I was not sure whether I should take up online journey because of my zero background knowledge in this area.
Affiliate marketing has been a 'alien term' for me 6 months ago. But now, I have better knowledge and some understanding.
Over this time, I have not made any sale but I have gained so much knowledge from this community. I met a number of excellent people here. WA community has been great so far. Helping me, wherever I was stuck. I know sales are important but it is a matter of time.
I have been just given an ambassador tag yesterday which is fairly encouraging but for me it simply means, more hard work.
So yes, I have made any sales so far but I am not backing off. I have a strong belief that "What Creater has decreed for me, I will get it". The main thing, I need to strive for is that the sources are legitimate and within prescribed rules.
Have a good day.

I'm only a new starter but if I was in your position I would reassess my niche. Is it in high demand? As the saying goes "you can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink". So in other words you can be driving all the traffic but the person has to want what you are offering. I'd also reassess my keywords. Are you building relevant content around these keywords? These are the questions you should be asking. Maybe you have already done all of this but just some food for thought. Good luck, I'm sure you will work it out.
We tend to put parts of our lives in silos, not realising the common thread that connects each part. I am going to assume, a very dangerous thing, that as a medical practitioner you have been successful. I would suggest reflecting back at when you started in that field how long did it take to really start to make money. Most businesses take at least five years to either fail or succeed. Give Affiliate Marketing time to prove itself. Like you I have been on a learning curve, similar to any new job or position. Most organisations give you anywhere from six months to one year on the learning curve. This should not be treated any different. Keep going you are closer than you think.
It is great that you now have ambassador status at Wealthy Affiliate and great that you are pushing forward! I believe that success will come, but everything takes time! All the best to you, Roy.
If you are doing this to survive (which I know isn't the case) then you'd be in trouble. Success may be around the corner or somewhere down the block. Either way, you're too invested to give in.
Keep Going ! Its not an easy road, we are all walking it with you, and yes you keep going. I use the same quote above on my WA site and I quote it to my tennis son a lot too ! So as Jude says, push forward. Ive been here longer than you, Im not an ambassador - paid work gets in the way - but Ill get there ! Have a great day!

You have learnt a lot over the six months and now it is time to just fine tune your sites. Ask Kyle for some feedback and other successful people in WA. It will flow on regards
