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

A while ago I posted about earning $5K in a month through a single niche site, that site has continued earning and generated just shy of $9K throughout December 2016.

I'm not really doing anything different than what's taught here. Well, I haven't really started with social media, yet. No AdWords, no intentionally built backlinks, no guest posts on other blogs, nothing special has been done. Just simple white hat SEO bringing in organic search traffic.

Here's a shot of my Google Analytics so you can see I'm not joking about having basically zero social media traffic (for all of 2016):

Throughout 2017 I'll be hitting social media hard and jumping into YouTube as well. Should be interesting! Hoping to finally break 6-figures in online income by 2018!

I hope you're reaching and exceeding your goals as well!
