Unplugged and Drained - Can I Stay Afloat?

I've recently been airing my thoughts and concerns to the Wealthy Affiliate community and have had some kind comments back. I'm currently on furlough from work since March 2020 with the potential of redundancy in the next couple of months. With this in mind it has at least given me the space and time to work on my website and niche that I started out on in November 2018.
Working Right and Working Hard
Just lately the self-doubts and lack of motivation has started to set in after reading people's sales statistics and successes on WA, one of which recently earned after only eight months in. I'm not sure if these blogs I'm reading are inspirational, motivational or just darn frustrating. I have a great niche, have worked hard on the site and am checking my affiliate platforms a few times a week for activity reports. I'm getting the clicks and impressions, but not a great deal of traffic or CTR. Am I doing something wrong even though I'm carefully following and acting on every step of the training, of which I'm still at level 3 absorbing the knowledge, re-reading the text and re-watching the videos.
Away from the training I'm posting and spreading to social media channels for more exposure, every new article or post I write up and am currently finishing off one right now. Although I'm enjoying the creative process I'd like to at least see some reward for my efforts, for one to go towards the yearly WA premium costs and to show that what I'm doing is working and I do have it. Just lately I feel I am just writing and working on posts for a "dead" website and with this in mind, demotivates me although I don't want to quit.

Amazon Pulls the Plug
Lastly, as if things can't get any worse, I've had the following email below from Amazon Associates. I really don't understand their mentally though as products on their website are promoted for FREE on my site which they will make from more than I and only because there's been no sales they want to fob me off, this is so deflating and draining. Maybe I should wash my hands of them as well. If I can't continue with them then that means editing EVERY Amazon affiliate link as text or image and text and find suitable replacements. This will be more work on top of work already. I will of course leave all my posts in place and try to re-apply first.

Drain Unblocked

I'm not a quitter and I've paid too much into this now, creating something working and professional looking. I've just got to re-approach this, rework some work goals and continue the training. Unblock the blockage and get some fresh water flowing through! If others can do it, so can I surely. I'm not drowning or sunk just yet and I'm reaching out for support, advice and help. Ideally I could do with someone going over and through my site and giving me some pointers, a personal sponsor (as advised) to guide me through the next few months or so. I've already put the site through a design revamp after listening to feedback and Kyle's advice. Is anybody else in the same situation as I, who have put the hours in but aren't being rewarded?
