I feel like there was a lot more involved in putting together and promoting this website that I previously had learned in the past but I have enjoyed the work and will continue these steps in building other affiliate sites. I think I need to build next around the different niches within my main galleria website. My biggest obstacle is always time and money.
The bulk of my work is done on the weekends and I always put off spending money but finally started my adwords campaign this week. After going through the steps though, I think I can learn to "batch" these tasks better in the future and get more done in the week. There are so many schemes to get rich that hit everyone's email box but they need to know that no matter what internet business they try if there is not real work involved, there will probably be no gain involved either. You have to focus on the steps given to you. I was lucky because I had already learned some of the steps so it was not totally new but I have learned a lot more. These lessons can be applied to any internet business.

Thrive Coaches Help Karin Succeed
I have had good response with the team answering my questions. I had to just get in there and try new things. Good encouragement. Their patience was appreciated. With affiliate marketing it's not just one website. You need to join many free sites to drive traffic to the blog site.
I stumbled a few times because of my own fear of writing anything. I am working on my writing skills. I was given encouragement to keep going. With affiliate marketing it's not just one website. You need to join and write for many free sites to drive traffic to the blog site. Step up and just do it. It can be tweaked later. Ask questions when you hit a snag. Work early in the day when possible so that your questions may be answered the same day. I am working with Team 2.

Thrive Helps Michael Make Healthy Progress
I have had 2 sales on eBay for a total of $46.5. We feel like we have quite a ways to go to be super successful, but we know that it will take some time. We are getting more comfortable with listing items, but it is like shopping for groceries when you are hungry you start adding this and that and next thing you know you have put some money into one listing. We know the old additive you have to spend money to make money, so we will keep it up.
The advice we have received from Team 2A on the listings has helped me become more expressive in my descriptions. Shipping costs when you list "free shipping" can be much more than the item you just sold. Will do our best to avoid that in the future. Watch the videos on shipping and supplies as soon as possible. Make copies of sales paper work and tracking numbers and keep in a file. The first was a soup tureen from Pfaltzgraff and the second was two side door mirrors for classic cars.

Thrive Learning Institute Helps Michael Make $185
I have had 2 sales on eBay with a profit of $185. I feel really excited to have sold my items on eBay. Now I know that it works and people do buy things off of eBay. Preston has been very helpful and helping me keep a positive attitude because at first I was doubtful that this was going to work but now that I have sold something I am not so doubtful. The obstacles I have overcome is my fear that this does not work Just stick with it, it will work not over night but it will work. I am on Team 2. The types of Items I was selling was an oscilloscope and a multimeter.

Annette Makes First Sale!
This was my first sale on eBay for $35.75 I was afraid to list anything, afraid it would not sell. I did list some things from home that did not sell. Nick gave me some very good tips on changing my listing that sold.
After I changed it, it sold 1 or 2 days later. Shipping is not hard if you have the supplies you need. You have to list items to make any money. You can't make any money if you don't list any items. I've only sold one item so far, but it seems like adding a picture and enhancing my listing is what sold it. I am working with Team 2. My item sold was Hand Warmers.

Martin Makes His First $250 with Thrive Learning Institute
I have had 4 sales on eBay with a profit of $250. My experience so far has been very good. They gave me a lot of good tips about formatting the description of the item, as well as how to write it. Also, they made some suggestions about making better pictures to go with it. My biggest struggle so far has been primarily ignorance. I have had some experience with this, but not much. They were able to pass on things they knew so that I wouldn't have to learn the hard way. This is very do-able. You learn how to make a proper ad and how to pick a product to sell, you can definitely make money doing this. It's just a matter of getting in there and doing it. I have sold Cell phones and computer peripherals.

Victoria Values Her Experience
My overall experience so far with the program and Team 2 has been great. I Always had prompt feedback although there were a few times when I got locked out of the site because the passwords were dumped in the process of updating. I learned useful tips in building a retail ecommerce store that I'll be able to use in other applications. Lightwave is NOT an easy, drag and drop web building application. If I hadn't had prior experience in building sites I may have thrown up my hands and walked away. This really needs to be made much more user friendly. It's nice to have tech support but nicer to be able to build it yourself. If I had a learning curve and have experience, the curve must be humongous for those with no background. My advice is don't assume you know how to do something and skip a step. All the steps make sense and you'll learn even though you may already know how something is done.
