Creating Sustainable Long-Term Habits

Hey everyone!

How do you stay on track and keep working to build out your websites? I've noticed in the past 7 weeks since I started that I am continually tested on my resolve and how badly I want to be successful within WA and affiliate marketing/blogging in general.

I am currently a full-time student at college and struggle to find time to fit in my workout schedule, study time, creating new content for my blog, and just time to relax either by myself or with friends.

I've also noticed that although I really enjoy spending time with my friends (and roommates), they are not nearly as driven as I am in regards to studying and building content or "creating instead of consuming". Don't get me wrong, my friends are great guys - but they don't motivate me to work hard, unfortunately.

I've set a goal to publish two articles per week on my site, myaviationfitness.com, and I've been able to maintain that thus far. But it isn't easy. It really requires a lot of willpower and the habit hasn't fully set in yet.

I remember when I started at WA a couple of months ago, I could barely sleep the first couple of days because I was so excited to make content and learn. I don't have that same resolve anymore but I am working hard to form that habit of making new content.

It doesn't help that I still have no financial results to show for my effort thus far, but I know that success online comes with time. My articles haven't been indexed by any search engines yet so I haven't gained any organic traffic. Organic traffic seems to be the Holy Grail of the online world - how will I know when I can start to pick any of that traffic up? I have gotten some referral traffic from my personal circle and social media, but they aren't my target audience for the most part.

I've only been here for 7 weeks and I've learned so much already. I'm finishing up Phase 4 of the training and I already have a great site running - I'm gonna keep working and achieve my goals!

If I've learned anything, it's that consistency is king. When I started working out a few months ago, it was really tough and I didn't see results that quickly. Fast forward to today, I'm probably in the best shape of my life. That's where the inspiration to start my site came from - a desire to help others who used to be in my position. It seems impossible when you start, but it gets easier and easier every day.

If any experts could give me some insight on how they stay focused and determined in the long-term, and the timeline they had to start picking up some organic traffic and revenue, I would really appreciate it! I know it's a long term game, and I'm in it for the long-haul, but I would love some feedback from someone who's developed their own profitable site, their timeline, and how they stayed determined. Please include your authority website in the comments so I can see what success looks like, and let me know the lifetime of the website as well if possible.

Thanks for reading everyone. I'd love some discussion on this post and any help you could offer!
