First $120 Not from Affiliate Marketing

Hey there!

Today I earned $120 not because of my affiliate links but because of creating a birthday video for a friend.😍

I have been posting on my website, Pinterest and Facebook page about my accomplishments at WA. One of my friends asked me to do a video presentation for her child after seeing the video I made for another friend. Since I know how to do it, I gladly said "YES!".

Ready to put this into action?

She was delighted with the video and paid me $120. I know it's not that big but I am grateful for my first earning.

Building my website somehow gave some sort of authority and reliability on my part when it comes to digital marketing.

I am now thinking of promoting my skill set on my website while waiting for it to monetize through affiliate marketing.

Thank you all for reading.

Cheers!

Ruth
