Deep sigh

So, is this going to work? Have I picked the right niche? Am I wasting precious time and money? Am I the only one that has these thoughts? I am going thru the training step by step. Set up my google analytics last night per Course 3 lesson 9 and that was thoroughly depressing. I checked it today and there was no traffic. It was kind of weird though because I have been on it a couple of times. I am engaging people on social networks, dropping the website name whenever I can. I get plenty of likes on my Facebook page for my site, but the traffic does not seem to be going to the site. I have ads and affiliate links up, but no hits. I am coming up on the 1 month mark. I know that is not much time but I guess I am just tired and discouraged. I don't want to be making $100 bucks a month at this 2 years from now and still stuck in the dead end job.

Sorry this is such a negative post. I just spent $800 bucks today for the hardware to hook up a woodstove for heating next year. I am thinking I need to start another website that is about home repair. LOL, so I am wondering in one breath if this is worth it and thinking about my next web site with the next breath. I guess I am hooked. I just wish that I could ditch the day job and concentrate on this.

Anyway, enough whining. Please let me know, am I the only one that is having these doubts and concerns? I know I have come a long way in a short period of time.......

Thanks,

Jerry
