So, this is just an update. Today I had the Amazon Blues. I know many have posted about problems with Amazon in my case I found out that Amazon cancelled my Affiliate link. I did not get and email from them, knew I was coming up on my 180days trial and that I had not produced any sales yet.

What to Do Next?

That was my question. They were fair, they gave me 180 days. But how do I proceed?

Now I could have thrown in the towel, thrown a fit, called them up and bless them out. But I called, respectfully asking for help, and they told me that I could just reapply!

That's what I did. Took 20 minutes of my time and poof I have another 180 days to prove myself. In fact I did it a little diferent, I included my 2nd site, changed my ID to reflect both interests and feel good.

What was Next?

I thought, my old Amazon ID and the links associatedhttps://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/home# with it were no good, so I did some site maintenance. Yes that took some time but in the end I corrected several errors, thank God my site was not real old, and I feel good about the whole experience.

Thank You WA and everyone involved.

If it wasn't for the training and all the blog posts I have read, I would not have know what to do next. Everything I know I have learned from you all.

What You Do With Any Obstacle--

I know that obstacles come whenever you are trying for success. What you do with them will determine the eventual outcome! It is not over until its over.

  1. You can quit and give up.
  2. You can cry and moan.
  3. OR - You can overcome!

I choose to be an Overcomer.

Thanks in advance for taking time out to read this post. If I have encouraged even one person to be an overcomer then I will rest easy.

Are you sure the old links are still valid? They will work and get the person clicking to the right page, but they may not track any sales. Best to check your stats.

I have thought about that Jeannie. The sites did work but I was concerned that they were linked to my old Amazon ID and would not track or credit sales to me. I have been slow building this site because of time limits on myself so there were not a massive amount of posts with links.
Thank you for the reminder, always appreciate the help.

You made a really great job!

Bravo!

Well done mate, inspirational stuff!

That's great that you're able to reapply. May need to do that myself.

Hopefully you will have sales before the initial 6 months. But if not there is still hope. Do your best to add posts regularly and you'll be more likely to succeed.

Talk2Ray You hung in there, and pushed through the obstacles. I certainly hope you have success, generate sales, and meet your WA goals.
Thanks for sharing your story.

Well done for thinking to call them right away. We always assumed, as do a lot of members here we are sure, that you had to wait before applying again.
