Finally!!!

March 16 I got my first real affiliate sale.  It feels good.  Plus it was my exact one year getting out of the Navy anniversary.  Next year I think I will celebrate my birthday and Christmas on March 16. (I'll be the one with Christmas lights in Spring, madly giving presents out to people, and blowing out candles on my cake.) 

I say real affiliate sale because I have been at this a couple of months and had some success getting a bit of Adsense money and little Squidoo royalties, but I made my first substantial affiliate sale on Clickbank.

I am behind the curve in this, but maybe it was just bad luck.  Talk about relief.

This has increased my focus in internet marketing by 10 times.  I am turning out content like a machine now!  It was just what I needed to light a fire under me.

Persistence paid off.  Thanks especially to the great learning resources from PotPieGirl and the Bum Marketing guys, and of course Kyle and Carson.

Good Luck Everybody.
