Ok so you built your website congrats that’s a start and it should already be based on your selected Niche.

Just know that just because you built a website doesn’t mean it is finished and you are ready to earn money.

Know that your website is never finished it is in a constant state or progress and you continue to write build write and build your content along the way.

Then rinse and repeat.

You have to realize you are building a business online takes time to build.

As for how long before you earn money that is entirely dependent on you.

First know this Affiliate Marketing is not a get-rich way of making money fast.So ask yourself these questions.

How much time are you prepared to put into creating content for your website?

Do you really know what your niche is about is it too broad or too narrow?

Do you have experience, do you meet Google’s E.E.A.T requirements?

Are you prepared to write constant content based on your selected niche?

When you first create your website it can take up to two weeks for Google to index your site that is find you on the web.

With Google when they find your website they want to know what is your website about and also whether are you helping compared to just selling at the start.

In the meantime, you will be writing regular content and keep writing content for the benefit of your readers.

If you can, best start writing at least a min on 2 posts a week on regular basis 3 even better.

The more regular and constant you write Google will notice you more as they crawl your site.

Write unique, original, and informative content for your reader's benefit with the aim of helping and not selling to their faces.

Many affiliates may not see any money coming in till about the 3-5 months in general, normally for most till about the 12 months mark before you start seeing the financial benefits.
