And man has that time flown, where the heck did all that time go? Anyway, I wanted to give an update on how to be really successful here at Wealthy Affiliate! Except.... I'm not. I'm one of those people who have to do it the wrong way first. And I'm not through the wrong-way phase of my progress yet.

Oh, sure I've made my first dollar, I've had a couple people sign up, do nothing for a couple of months, and then drop out. I've learned enough to have created a few awesome websites for other people and even have one who pays me to maintain that website every month.

And that doesn't mean a hill of beans. Because I'm still a novice at affiliate marketing.

I wake up in the middle of the night with ideas screaming in my head. I dream of having unfathomable success with my website. I work on it every minute of every day, every chance I get. I've worked through the Online Certification Training and I'm halfway through the Affiliate Bootcamp. But alas, no real success.

It doesn't matter.

I know I will get to that point where I've learned what I need to learn and I'll be experiencing the success I know is possible here because other people have done it, LOTS of other people have stayed on track and worked at it with monumental effort, and made it. I will make it. I KNOW I will make it. No ifs, ands, or buts.

Promise me!

If you are reading this post, that you will NEVER GIVE UP. Giving up should not be in your vocabulary. Never ever ever quit. You are so CLOSE to being at the peak of success. One person summits that peak in three months, another one takes two years. What if absolute success for you will take two and a half years? Three? Is that success any less admirable? Are you going to quit a MONTH before you make it? You have to put your time in! No matter how much it is. The only ones who don't make it, are the ones who quit.

Look at it this way, once you get that plane off the ground, the sky is the LIMIT! You just have to get it off the GROUND!!!
