The Greased Rope.
I feel as though I am not doing things correctly. Ever have those days? Try to add something to your site to try and get some sort of affiliate thing going and you get Error 404.
I also feel like someone is setting time against me. I find that there is not enough time in my dragged out life to get anything done. I think its great that people here at WA are getting returns for their efforts, I really do. I also have to keep in mind that God's timing is not my timing. I have a lot of things I am trying to do and I don't think, a single one of them is really making a difference.
This is not a pity party. I would rather throw myself in the middle of a dung pile than try to seek out pity from others. So, why do I do that to myself mentally? Why is it that this person over here is having great success and so and so is already getting over $300 in the first few months here? Am I feeling sorry for myself or am I just not doing things correctly?
I will admit that my financial site is probably not going to go anywhere. Not with the masses like Dave Ramsey, Dave's daughter Penelope?, and the tons of other people that have their own products and programs on the market. You can't get noticed when you are in the shadows of people like that.
Ok, so I want to go somewhere else with my life. I want to write and enjoy myself. But I have a guilty feeling with trying to do the affiliate thing when it is turning nothing. I don't even have comments that seem to say, "Hey, great thoughts. I am going to apply this to my life and get out of debt. Thanks again."
People here at WA can make thousands of dollars a month. That's great. I don't want to bring them down. I just don't understand how they do it. Amazon is offlimits for tax reasons. All the programs I would like to promote are with the groups that want you to have certain traffic numbers before they will allow you to join. How do you do that when you can only get 2 subscribers between 2 websites?
At this point, I feel the affiliate rope for me is greased. Try as I will, I make no progress. I think for the time being, I will stick with my short stories and work on my attempt at a book.

Hi Zavier!
You seem to be a nice guy, but I can read that you have the wrong mindset. That might not help you right now, but really work hard on your attitude. Every little step you are doing leads you somewhere. There is tons and tons of possibilities out there to earn money online as an affiliate like through videomarketing, paid traffic, organic traffic, blogging, social media, direct selling, emailmarketing, salesfunnels,... I am sure you have heard of most of them, right?
I dont want to give you the wrong impression about myself, I havent earned so much money myself, but I know, that I am getting somewhere with WA, because if I implement the knowledge of the trainings, for example ONLY on emailmarketing (last Friday's Live Class), its going to be mental in a very positive way ;o)
Writing a book is great and I will do that once I guess, too. Before that I will write articles and blogs and stuff, trying to build an emaillist and make prospects into businesspartners here at WA and with some other great products. I am also not the biggest fan of amazon's affiliate program.
Hope that helps a little.
