First sale, don't give up

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

I was checking my shareasale account today and was think that perhaps I don't need the "store" section of my site, and was going to have a look at how it was going.

I had not logged in there for a while, and to my surprise this morning, expecting to see a $0 balance it instead was showing a balance of $9.

The sale came from the end of last month, so that's about 4 months time from when I started here.

So that's the thing I want to say, it might take some time, but eventually you will start to get some results. I know I could be doing a bit more, but it doesn't matter too much, the fact is that someone has found my site and decided to buy something as a result of it.

It wasn't from a review, but from some gear that I have on my site that leads to another site.

Keep at it and keep writing. Eventually your efforts will pay off!
