Hey everyone!
It has been quite awhile since I last blogged in WA. I've been really busy with full-time work and part-time studies. I've been trying to post 1 article/review per week on my WA site but I still have slip ups here and there with it.
On December 10, I had 3 blog posts and 2 pages and 4 months later, I've grew my site to 16 blog posts and 8 pages. Well, not much but it was the best I could cope with. So here's some stats for the hard evidence people (like me) who love to read progress reports with numbers.
This is my organic traffic from Google. I've seen my traffic grow from about 5 clicks (in Nov 14) to 120 clicks per month and I've passed the 200 impressions mark daily. Considering I've only 16 posts, I think it's a good effort. :)
And yes I do have keywords that are ranking on the 1st page.

Now what about referrals?
I'm sure you are dying to know that. Yes, I do have referrals. I won't reveal how many I have but I can tell you that I'll be receiving my first payment from WA next month. I believe if you provide good value to people, referrals will naturally come. Just look at Vitaliy and Nate, they are living proofs of that.
What I've learnt so far?
Affiliate Marketing must be treated as a long-term business and time is needed to build up your business (same for a brick and mortar one). Being in WA for more than a year, I have seen people come and go. Some don't even last for a month because they want instant money and instant results (which scams promote).
However, those who succeed are those who continue working on their site even through discouragement, problems and limitations e.g. lack of traffic, writer's block, lack of time, technical knowhow and etc. I think a year is a good timeframe to test things out. Anything shorter than that is giving up too quickly.
If you have worked on your site and you still don't see results, don't give up. Your big break might just be round the corner.
Cheers, Jane
