Earning real money online! - YES finally :)
Hey folks,
I am so happy to share with you today, that I have finally made my first real money online!!
I cannot tell you how surprised and thrilled I was yesterday to look at my bank statement and see a payment of 14 $ from one of the affiliate networks I signed up with a while ago.
It came as a BIG surprise, as I haven´t actually been active on my site or WA for the last 8 months or so.
Even sweeter to see my little online asset sending me some surprise cash :)
When I checked the affiliate network´s report of earnings, I realized that I actually earned my first bucks back in May 2021 already, I just hadn´t realized this, because the amount was too small to be paid out.
So, if you are at the beginning of your WA journey, I can tell you - the training works:
- It took me about 6 months to get consistent traffic on my site (and I have had consistent traffic, although I haven´t published anything in the last 8 months)
- It took me about 9 months to earn my first $$ from my site
The training really works!
Thank you Wealthy Affiliate Kyle & Carson & community - I am thrilled to bits :).
Have a grand day, everyone!
All the best, Drea

A sweet sharing with me. Thank you for sharing the information to me that the traffic maintained without posting for 8 months.
I have plans to drop my website for a few months since my first grandson needs my attention anytime. Thank you for your timely posting to share with me such a good news.
I fully agreed with you, WA is far better than we think. Not only the website brings profit to us, but also a lot of surprise opportunity coming to us.
Hello Stephen, I am glad that my story has helped you. I just want to give you some more info regarding the traffic, as this might help you further:
So, I did my last post in June 2021 and since then my monthly traffic has more than doubled. About 50% of the traffic came from organic search (based on 30 posts on my site) and 50% from social. I was quite active on Pinterest in the first half of 2021 and one or two of my pins have been very successful in driving traffic to my site and helping the conversion.
Looking at organic traffic in isolation: monthly traffic has also doubled since last June.
So it is definitely not all lost, if you need to concentrate on other matters for a while and you still have a good base to pick up from when time allows it again. All the best to you and your grandson! from Drea
Thank you for your addition advice about the traffic. Before I can do 3 posts per week but drop to 1 post per week.
My website has 245 posts with traffic at new height of 9.1k. If I can continue for another month, possibly, can break 10k. That is my worry, but happy to hear traffic can maintain.
Thank you and wish you a successful year in 2022.
Well done Drea! It can take a while to earn your first commission, and you’re doing well. It’s also good to hear you’re getting traffic even though you haven’t posted for a long while. Yes, definitely this works. Wishing you every success moving forward 🙂

Hi Drea,
I'm happy to hear about this great news. Your case is very common with what many of us go through down the road.
That's one of the best parts about being in online business. Specifically with the WA training, you may not make money right away. But eventually, (as Kyle has said so many times), the dividends come later at some point.
It's important to understand that the work we do now will pay off later. That's something a lot of people don't get, and why it's easier to quit early on.
So building a viable digital asset can help no matter what. I'm glad you earned that commission recently.
Kudos to you- thank you for sharing. Keep up the great work :)
Regards,
-Eric
