Frustration - Anyone Else Feel This Way From No Sales?

It's been a while since I've posted a blog. I just had to vent here to see if others are feeling the same.
I know this is a business and it takes time to build and do it right. In fact I have this on my wall and read it several times a day. " You Don't Build a Business. You Build People and then People Build the Business." How true!
So I've followed the training and worked 7 days a week for I don't know how long now. I never mind the hard work. It's necessary and has to be done to get ahead. I get it. What I don't get is why things don't seem to work the way they should.
I know I can count on the Wealthy Affiliate community for help. That's not an issue. But the fact is that there is really only one person here I know I can count on no matter what. He knows who he is and I will always be thankful. (And no, it's not my mentor) At least I know that there is help in the community.
I guess the bottom line is that the only one I really have to please is me and that's what I'm doing. Frustration sets in quite frequently and the only way I can aleviate that is to just keep pressing on and looking to others who are succeeding already.
Thank you for your time and I hope you're enjoying WA and succeeding! :-)

As you've said, you are not giving up and that is key to your coming success as it may be just around the corner but you cannot see it, yet.
Strive on!

First off, I think you’re doing an amazing job(I took a look at your site) keep it going! I know what you’re feeling very well, I’ve been there, it’s common and pain and failure is needed to grow but here’s the thing...
I too have a health and wellness site and I can tell you from actual firsthand experience in this field(not exact niche) and after taking a quick analysis of your site what you can improve on.
Here are a few tips/suggestions:
1. Focus on going deep not wide. What do I mean? I believe you have a good use of certain keywords but you can do more by creating similar content to your existing posts where you can then interlink your one another and once you get more data you can interlink your money post to your less popular content and vise versa. Google rewards sites with a SILO structure so you can grow this in time.
For ex: if you did a post on weight loss(for your niche) with a great keyword, then keep growing related post like best supplements for (your niche) for weight loss.
And keep going deeper. It’ll pay off, trust me.
2. Research more keywords. I added your existing keywords or a related phrase and found many others you should be going after especially some of these had a low qsr. It’ll be a hit especially when it can build off your other content
3. Focus on list posts. Think about what sells your niche and what people WANT...they don’t necessarily want to lose weight, take a supplement or listen to their spouse, they want what they can already get faster access to - foods. Recipes, enzymes, proteins, etc. Use this to point people into your pillar and money posts.
- I found a food related keyword you can use as a list post with a great QSR, good traffic, etc.
4. Have Authority. This is single handily the most important step, why?
People want to buy from people they know like and trust and it can be REALLY tough especially in the health and wellness niche to get it right. Find that ONE product and you can strike gold, but what’s most important is that you’ve likely used it(this goes especially with supplements). Then, this will get you to go more into video, ads video to your blog Of you demoing the product/service...
And just be credible. I’d ask you “what’s already working?” Once you can answer that, keep building similar content and or off of that. And if there’s very little, it’s best to go back into keyword researching the right keywords and build a list of similar content to attach It to.
Like any other niche you have to build credibility in the eyes of Google and your audience but even a lot more with the health side because at least for one, you’re fighting against the heavy industry hitters. To avoid them and get Google to notice you entirely...
You have to keep building on pillar “how to” type content.
This is just some information from a quick analysis. I hope that helps.

P.S. I recommend getting Into video to be different and you can do very
Well for many of the products in your niche.
From what I can see on your profile you have TWO websites you're working on.
That's not recommended.
You're dividing your time and focus and energy and emotions between TWO websites.
As a beginner, you should have been encouraged to focus on ONE website.
Trying to rank 2 websites when you are starting out will give you a nervous breakdown...
No wonder you're frustrated...
