I always wondered how I would react to my first CJ commission. It has said $0.00 at the top of my page for so long that when it said $41.99 my eyes didn't register at first. Finally after 2 years of dabbling in PPC and affiliates I am getting serious and the work paid off! As a relative newb (and I know there are lots of us out there) I read these posts and never comment because I never think I will get to the level of those really successful on these boards. But I've come to realize it isn't the giant check that matters, it's the $41.99 several days in a row that keeps you going. It's all a lot of small amounts each day, a few pages added to the website everyday that then cumulatively add up to the big payout. So I finally see a spark of success, I now have 15 websites, am restructuring old ones based on this sucess and will plod along until I get to your level. But I wanted other newbs to see, that that magic moment when all your work leads to someone wanting what you put on your website, actually does pay off! I have gone to CJ about 40 times just to look at it.
Two years is a lot of time even for this business which requires so much patience. I wonder if now when you have your first success things will improve significantly. I hope it does and it would be interesting to share your progress once the first profit has been made because most of the time we read stories on someone's first steps but as we know success usually takes a lot of time.
Thanks all for the congrats. And I just opened clickbank again today after a long absence and am going to give it another try. I appreciate the support and I will report back with good news again in 2 weeks (good incentive to keep working)!
