Sometimes, is good to hear it from another source. I'll die in the hill that I think Amazon is hands down the absolute best (and easiest) way for busy people to start earning online but I also have full appreciation for how frustrating it is at first when you feel like you're doing a lot of work for minimal gain.
But Kade- one of the Viral Vue boys- does a great job of explaining how this compounds and why you really just need to persevere through. This first few minutes of this will likely be highly relatable for most of you- I know it was too me at first.
He also has some great tips, advice and insight on time management and strategies. It's only 16 minutes- or 12 if you watch it on 1.5x like I did lol.
