Hello to everyone out there in the world of Wealthy Affiliate! Today I wanted to share a little something with you that hopefully you will find encouraging and inspiring. This will be especially important if you have yet to get your business off the ground or you haven't seen any money coming in yet.

It's quite common for people to get very frustrated when creating an online business. Despite everything that we have here at Wealthy Affiliate, it can be hard to push forward when we aren't seeing the money roll in. Building an online business never happens overnight! How quickly you start earning money will entirely depend on the time and effort that you put into your business.

Today I wanted to share something with you that just goes to prove how your business can grow and evolve over time. I started building the Make Money Online Zone website in October 2015. It took around 4 months before I saw any sign of money. I could have done things faster but I was working on another project at the time. Going on previous experience before I joined Wealthy Affiliate I knew that I had to gain the trust of Google if I was going to get good search engine rankings.

After writing around 50 articles for The Make Money Online Zone website, things really started to pick up. During that time there was a noticeable increase in traffic and I was starting to make a few sales.

2 Of the products that I promoted at the time are still paying me a monthly commission to this date.

To this date, promoting these two products have grown into 65 sales and over $2000. And that is just the tip of the iceberg... Since creating my website I have moved onto promoting several other products, including the Wealthy Affiliate membership. My site has now made thousand of dollars, for which I am truly thankful.

You can see more about my online earnings in these two blog posts.

So does Wealthy Affiliate really work?

There is no doubt that the Wealthy Affiliate training really does work. But if you have yet to see any signs of success, let me tell you the secret...

The real secret to success within Wealthy Affiliate is in creating content on a regular basis. I first noticed a change in my site when I got to around 50 articles on my site. Since that time I have published many more! My site grows stronger the more I publish. The more keywords I target, the more traffic I get.

I believe the key to success is in targeting your audience as much as possible, creating quality content and sharing regularly on social media. And that's it!

Hopefully this post will give encouragement to the newer members of the Wealthy Affiliate community and those that are yet to see their business become successful.

Have a great day guys!
