Waiting For the First Sale at Wealthy Affiliate
With only a month into the Wealthy Affiliate, it's hard to believe that I am already waiting for the first sale. One might ask as to whether I am not impatient or getting demoralized when day after day the balances reflect zeros from top to bottom. Fortunately, the Wealthy Affiliate program has taught me that potential buyers are people like you and me and that they go through the same buying circle that you and I go through when deciding whether to buy a product.
Waiting for that first sale is, therefore, a human to human thing.The insight that I have gained from the WA course has placed me at a platform where I blog or review products with the intention to give value to the reader. That I had chosen the right niche for myself thanks to WA, makes blogging my type of thing. I have joined more than enough Affiliate programs and have stopped looking to make it possible to be able to paste links from all my Merchants.
That I am waiting for the first sale is actually not the major event, it is the fact that I am starting to get traffic that should make the headlines. I have had hits in all continents, there is a stiff competition between returning and new viewers, the average viewing session hovers around 2 minutes, good for a 4 weeks old website. The statistics are also very pleasing since the graphical presentations keep pointing to rising growth.
To test my impact on the Google Analytics statistics, I elected not to share some posts to the social media networks. What happened is that I started witnessing a drop in the statistics. I therefore at this stage to decided to share to the social sites, the statistics as expected shot right up and brought with them organic traffic.I have thus decided to share to numerous relevant Facebook groups that I have been steadily joining. This should in all logic undoubtedly increase my traffic.
The issue is therefore how much more valuable content I should keep posting in order to create a consistent following. A big challenge? Well, it's Party time! with me. Why? I am doing what I like, my passion, relevant even so to my University training. At Wealthy Affiliate, you turn your passion into passive income. So, I am going to keep posting and observe as my traffic grows steadily, hopefully, the growing traffic numbers will increase the probability of me getting that first click. And this is under a month of work?
I hope this article will be helpful to those of you awaiting the first sale while building their digital real estate. Let's keep updating our pages and posts as Kyle keeps expanding our horizons.Time for me to pen a post. I just can't stop writing:)
Cheers, and thank you for your kind attention.

I feel the same way... people keep asking me "have you made money yet??" I say "no, not yet. But I'm very pleased with my website and it's getting better by the day. Everyday I have more and more people coming to visit it and leaving comments." I've only been here for a little over a month as well. I'd like to check out your website if you give me your link. :-) here's mine colormemelon.com
