I really need a pick me up today

No this is not a complain

I read a post here in WA about how newbies come all excited and then after a couple of months they come complaining about how things are not working out and how angry they are, the post also went on to say how the newbie would have 5 or ten posts on their website and complain about how they are not making money.

I want to distance myself from that scenario

My post is not about that, yes I am a newbie, I joined WA in December 2018 and I have payed my yearly subscription, and my first website has more than 30 posts and the second website has a good number of posts and I am working every day researching so I can put good quality content on both websites, the first website, I am putting two posts every week because I have to work harder on the new website.

No I have no complaints about WA whatsoever, I am very happy.

I am just feeling down because I am soon going to be dropped by Amazon from their program because I have not made any sale. And as if that was not enough, I also found out that my views on Pinterest are going down despite me working my butt off this past week pinning 3 times a day.

Then Google is dragging its feet on indexing my new site.

So no this is not a case of honeymoon phase being over, my honeymoon with WA will go on and on and on, this is a case of a newbie needing to vent that's all.

I totally understand that I am new at this and its gonna take time, and I am a very patient person, I also now know that I shouldn't have joined affiliate programs so early in the game, but I was following the training step by step, and I did not know anything about affiliate marketing before I joined WA.

I am not making excuses, I am just saying that with my new site, I am working on avoiding the mistakes I made with my first site, for example I am not planing on joining affiliate programs with my new niche until, my site is up and running and has good number of posts. Also, with my new site I had done lots of research before purchasing the domain.

So those are my thoughts, I feel much better after writing this.

Anyway, I shall go back to work now.
