Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

First let me say I do not like doing post like this. I do what I do very quietly but I feel that this post would benefit some of my friends here at Wealthy Affiliate.

Also I hear people ask if anyone is making any real money on here. Most of the time no one answers. The proof is in the statistics.

If you want to know if anyone is making real money on here yes they are. I am not the only one and there are people here making more than I am.

When I first started I had to learn many of the things that are taught here the hard way. That is one of the reasons that I love Wealthy Affiliate so much as because people can come here and find what works and build a business without struggling like I did.

The other reason is the wonderful friends I have here.

I started out with one blog. It was only after I started learning what is taught here that things started to change for me.

I can tell you that no matter what you hear people say what is here works. I use it on the daily.

Before I learned what to do I felt like the fellow in the picture above.

So here goes I am going to show you the statistics from only two of my sites. Again let me say I only have these sites and a few others because of blogging and do what is taught here at wealthy affiliate.

To me the number one key to making money is traffic. You can have the best site in the world and have no traffic and lose money. So here are the traffic stats on the first site.

Here it shows what this site has earned this year so far.

This is what the sales have been for the last 30 days.

Here is the second site. I moved it to my own server in July and that way it does not show the traffic for the early part of the year.

This is what I have earned with that traffic. I am an affiliate for other products on this site and my margin is not as much as the first one but I am not going to turn it down.

This is how my sales have been for the last 30 days.

This is not my only two sites and not my best one. It was just easier to get the stats off these two.

Now I am not showing this to say look at me. I am showing you this to say you can make a full-time living doing exactly what is taught here.

It does work. No one no matter what they say can convince me different. I have lived it and know.

If you have enough computer skills to get here, then you have the skills to do this. I am far from tech savvy and as my profile said I grew up before computers were around.

So what if someone does it faster or slower. When I first started I had about 2 hours a night to work and that was if I stayed up late.

So what if you feel like you are a slow learner you are not. You are just learning at your own pace. That is all that matters. Do not compare what you are doing or not doing to anyone else. If you do you will get discouraged real quick

It is your life to live.

Well there it is. It works.

I totally agree with the teaching here and I started just like all of you with 1 blog and grew it from there.

Onward and Upward
