I have made the leap.

It's quite a nerve-wracking feeling, taking those steps towards potentially making money. I'm not expecting to make anything for a long while, but I am now affiliated with both Amazon and eBay, and it feels great!

The pressure is now on to make those 3 sales in 6 months, to make sure my accounts are not deleted (this is the case for Amazon, anyway). Now I have some sort of deadline, I can get my arse into gear - isn't it funny how I work much better under pressure?!

I am intensely focused now, on getting through the final stages of training, and driving lots of traffic to my site. I am quite lucky that I have my cats as an aid to attract people to my site (my niche is cats) - they are my secret weapon! Videos, photos, blog posts and updates about them are going to be the thing that gets people visiting me, and the more engaging content I create, the more traffic I will receive, the more Google will trust me as a unique site, and the more money I can potentially make. I am determined to make those 3 sales before the 6 months is up.

BRING IT ON!

Here's a picture of my disabled cat, Kieran, just to add a dose of cuteness to your day :)

Good for you, Ash. You just keep going and with your can-do attitude, you will go places. All the best to you and keep it up.
BTW, you are right, your cat is cute ... look at her 'sitting' ... so adorable. Thanks for making my day.

Hi Ashleigh. You will need to write lots of good quality content and streamline your website. If you don't get any sales in three months you simply reapply to Amazon. Jim

Hi Jim, I am super determined to get the best quality content on my site - WA is so great at motivating you to get it done! I'm hoping that within the time frame, I'll write a post that says I made my 3 sales :)
