Last month, I started a new niche site in the marketing automation niche. On the site I explain basic marketing principles and discuss tools to automate businesses (both online and offline).

I knew full well that Black Friday was coming up, so I angled my first few posts towards email marketing since many promotions by the pros on Black Friday are going to be sent via email.

I included affiliate links in a few of my posts but never expected any sales to occur so early in my new websites existence, but today I checked one of my affiliate dashboards and found that $4.95 in pending earnings. It certainly isn't anything to celebrate too much about, but it's great to be taking baby steps towards building a site that converts traffic into earnings.

That's Not The Only Income I Earned...

I've also earned $25 for writing a post about a specific tool as well as made a few dollars from some other techniques.

I'm already thinking to do a monthly wrap-up of income at the end of each month to document my journey so I will share more there and pop a link below when that blog is live.

Keep crushing it,

Shane
