Three Months! I'm All In!

I am just past my three month mark as a Premium member with Wealthy Affiliate.

I took my Free Look for two whole days, and enrolled for the year. I was all in after I saw the quality and depth of the training, the amazing community involvement and the sound website support, including daily backup, templates and JAAXY!

I am so glad I did.

I want to share my Google Analytics results of these first three months with you...I hope they encourage you as much as they are blowing me away. (I am going to put in Month, followed by Highest Week, and Highest Day for all three to make it easy to follow, I hope!)

Month 1- December:

Users: 17 17 8

Page Views: 58 58 29

Bounce Rate: 36% 36% 36%

Month 2- January -

Users 1 1 1

Month 3- February

Things are happening,

and they are getting better and better, day by day!

Why? How?

First and foremost, I am following the training I am getting. I have complete the initial training, and am on Phase 2, Lesson 9 of the Affiliate Bootcamp. I am diligently implementing every single aspect of the training I am receiving.

Second, I am part of the a beta training with Bo Tilton. He has generously shared his extensive knowledge with a group of us as a beta test group, and is openly and generously sharing in Wealthy Affiliate. (Those of us in the beta test group are also sharing what we are learning - it's all part of the pay-it-forward mentality here at Wealthy Affiliate!)

Third, I have worked hard. I have 51 posts on my blog. I have 353 comments, including my responses to each and every one (and my gratitude for them!).

I am active daily on Facebook with sharing, comments and postings on related pages.

I comment on my team members blogs, which are really great quality and information! I also comment on high draw blogs in my niche, daily. I comment on You Tube, with my profile set to include links to some of my blogposts. These all give me backlinks.

I have lots of affiliate links, of course. BUT I am very aware of the need to build a relationship with my readers. I am NOT a sales site. I am an information site and sometimes products help my readers get the specific solutions they are looking for.

I have internal links that tie my site together. That is good for SEO.

I use my post real estate well, with relevant keyword-laden titles and descriptions, images with keywords in the alt description. I do not have any keywords that are over 3% of my content.

I have a couple of EBooks, and have set up an email system. I have a very few subscribers so far.

Is there anything new in all this?

The answer is NO! I did not invent any new tricks. It is all in the training.

What I am doing, is doing it! In January, I concentrated on building the website and SEO. In February, I began to work on driving traffic.

I was warned by Kyle early on, that it takes at least three months to begin to get recognized and get results. Well, that is happening, and it is just as I hit the 3 month mark!

Am I making money from all this yet?

No.

It is coming, Kyle tells us. I am doing the work. I will keep you posted on my results in another month.

I expect more and more acceleration. I expect my email list and subscribers to grow. I expect some income to begin.

I am sharing this to encourage all the other newbies here to keep on plugging. Yes, it takes work. And Yes, the system will work for you if you let it!

Let's make 2018 absolutely amazing!

In peace and gratitude to all of you,

Annie
