Just shy of my all time monthly record for Amazon sales.
I am very happy to report that I am just $5 shy of my all time record for Amazon sales commissions in a month. I have one day left to break my record which was set in April.
After a slump this summer in June and early July, with very few sales, lower traffic and lower post rankings, things picked back up in late July. First I set a new record for days in a row of sales. Then August started off great as well. Now I am thrilled that August has been my second highest month for sales to date and I have one day left to potentially tie or break that record. All the while I have been busy with work, being very sick and missing days of work, trying to get outside to enjoy a tiny bit of Alaska summer between the high pollen spring, blazing hot summer (over 90 degrees here), record setting extreme drought, massive forest fires (one is over 250 square miles now) and very dense smoke. It has really been hard to get out and do anything this year. We also have 9 rental units to manage with renovations and my husband has been working long hours at his regular job as well!
So, considering all that, I am overjoyed that I am still moving forward with my websites. I have added some great new posts recently and have more on the way.
This shows that WA gives us the tools to build up a viable business even if we have a "Life" and not much free time. How amazing is it to wake up and check your stats and see you made sales overnight!

How incredibly brilliant, well done, in fact a huge fat we done...I am looking forward to hearing more of your successes. Perhaps now just enjoy the remainder of your summer.
This time last year my partner and had the most amazing 3 week holiday in Alaska, for me one of the most exquisite places on planet earth, the diversity, coupled with the “can do” community spirited nature of the people made it very special. Your post says much about your determination and I think is how you proud Alaskans live your life.....😊
Thanks! I didn't break the record. Still a good month though. We are getting cooler weather and a bit of rain! Great to finally deal with the fires.
Well done you, you have come a long way since you joined in 2016, I remember your initial follow to me from Alaska.
Hope you're ok up there in the cold.
Not better here in Scotland either.
I think out summer is over lol
Take Care Jessica

What cold? It was the hottest summer ever here. It was over 80 degrees F much of the summer here and we had several days over 90 degrees! It is finally cooling down and going into fall...thank goodness. It is also the driest summer ever and we officially hit "extreme drought" which has never occurred before.
Thank you Robert. I am on the slow and steady path for sure but as long as I keep improving I can't complain!

I'm believing you will surpass that all-time sells record.
Wishing more success to you,
