Notification of Payment Received: It has Been a Long Time Coming.

To my surprise this morning when I checked my emails I found TWO 'Notification of payment received' emails from PayPal, which is a repeat of last week.

My patience has paid off and also inspired me to do more to continue my journey of making money online with 'my own products'. I must say it has not been an easy journey, but ever so rewarding.

I Built a Foundation on Which to Grow

The importance of building a foundation was my rock over the past 18months of recovery while my websites sat on the back burner due to a head injury.

Fortunately, I had created a few PDF Sewing Patterns before the injury and was in the process on having them on my Website and Trademe as well has having a Facebook Page in baby stage at about 200 likes.

Taking a Backseat for a While...

Then it happened, February 2018, I felt like life stopped... and in fact it did! A car accident with a head injury...

I needed time to heal, and while I was doing so, my website was still getting traffic. FaceBook was starting to grow at a rate I was not expecting, and is currently over 2000 without any regular posts.

While, on top of all of that, my PDF Sewing Patterns were starting to sell on Trademe, not many, but at 100% profit, while growing my own 'Brand' was pretty exciting for me.

Reaping the Rewards

My website is 3 years old, is mainly information based, with 11 of my own products and I am now in the process of adding affiliate products.

It has been great and I have had the odd sale, but to have two sales in two weeks kind of surprised me and then got me excited that much that I need to brag to someone....

I am pleased to say my website is gaining momentum, and can now see the potential of the possible rewards once I get things ticking along regularly, as well as increasing my pattern selection.

All the best to all of you starting out... build a foundation first! Follow the training, don't be too eager to monetize your website... build trust!

Cheers
