Proof that WA works (well if you do)

OK so yesterday was a watershed...
- I got a check from my client yesterday for $1500.
- My contract with them calls for 10 posts total. Yesterday he selected 5 of the 10 recommendations I made for the last 4 posts (yes I was good at math at school and so was he, but maybe he's not so good at contracts. But he is the CEO, and if he wants me to do 11 posts instead of 10, well...)
What does this have to do with Affiliate Marketing???
Everything.
I am applying all of the skills I learned here to do this. WA also gave me the courage to join a few other groups with more "senior" people. WA training and tools take you so far. Even the instructors will tell you having things outside of WA like Canva, Grammarly and video editing tools will get you to the next level.
So they found me because I write.
This is not something I looked for. I have a background in computers and cybersecurity. I didn't know a lot about raspberry pi computers when I started writing about them. I now own two. So I wrote some articles about how to secure a Raspberry Pi.
There is a story line in "Star Trek" future history. The signature of the first warp drive attracted the attention of the Vulcans. Propelling the human race into the space age.
All I did was write. And the right person saw it.
Sometimes that's all it takes. My YouTube videos have been noticed and commented or emailed by a couple of manufacturers, but they never did anything about it.
This gave me an idea. There must be more people like this. So I am pivoting. Again. A new website specifically to attract people like this. Registered on Upwork to get it started.
Am I forgetting about affiliate marketing? Nope. In fact it's still growing slowly. I'll post more later, but I expect this to be another great month.
Not thousands, but hundreds. It's doing what it's supposed to do. It's paying for the training.
Let's try something new.
Let's see what happens.
We have the tools. How will you use them??
