I have been in this for a little over 6 months and I haven't had any sales yet either but that doesn't mean I won't. I know this program works but it isn't a get rich quick scheme. I have spent money on those already or should I say I lost money on those. This is a great solid program. It does work!! I know it does or else I would have bailed out long ago. I know you probably have heard this over and over but if you just work the program step by step you will see results. That's what I keep telling myself too when I get discouraged.

Hi Candice - I know 3 to 7 hours per day can seem like a lot, but I'll admit when I first started out I was working more like 14 hours per day... As do many other start-up business owners. Gaining the initial momentum is the most difficult part, then once that is achieved it's from there that you can begin relaxing back to a more manageable 2-6 hours per day of work with days off.

Honestly the secret is simply "do more of what you are doing".

Maybe it will seem like you're never away from the PC, but if you want money "fast", then you have to be prepared to put in a LOT of work for that to happen. Sacrifices have to be made.

Just try to focus on the long term... That's the most important part. I mean sure, working 10-14 hours per day may suck (and likely will), but heck - if you could do that for 2x months and then work 2-6 hours per day & maintain a good income thereafter would it have been worth it? Heck yes! That's the key.

Hi Candice just wondering if you buy any traffic or just relying on organic traffic?.. also be an idea to do a google analytics on your site? Check to see how many people see your site over the week, month. Have you done your SEO on your your site? You can buy traffic if you want a quick result but as Wenda said it will take time if you are only relying on organic traffic. I know how you feel about the waiting thing... but you are doing the correct thing all natural process has an incubation period, so do not give up just yet

Candice, I have read your post here, as well as the comments in reply to it. My thought to this is "WOW!" This community really reaches out to one another! :) This is proof to what I have written in one of my posts, which states, "Access to THE BEST online worldwide collective intelligence of entrepreneurs and affiliate marketers. All of this knowledge would equal millions of years worth at your fingertips!" This is POWERFUL! Keep on with it Candice, and at some point, things will start happening :)

HI Candice,I am past month 6 and pretty much doing what you are and the same.Nothing,no money except one click registered in google search console,even then i am pretty sure that was me checking on one of my posts lol......I dont know what to tell you...all i can think of at this stage for ME is to just keep on with the training modules one step at a time and write one truthful,helpful,engaging post at a time......hope this helps :))

Hi Candince!

i know im just a newbie! and a big one.. but one thing i noticed while reading your lattes post on your site is that i couldn't find a link to amazon in it.. make a link inserted into your post.. or as a picture and i am sure at least 10% would click on it and it will drive them to amazon which will eventually lead to sales!

i agree with Lauras post as well, add pictures and make your post a shiny object! :)

i hope my this is going to be my first contribution for someone at this great place!

Stick to it and im sure in time you are going to be great!

GOOD LUCK!! :)

Hi Candice,

I can understand your frustration. It can be tough and that's why I don't recommend my readers to quit their job when pursuing an online venture.

You see, I treat my online business as a side gig. It doesn't require my full-time input. Maybe it's a good idea to find an income source outside of your online business for now.

I also looked at your website and correct me if I'm wrong. It's missing a few important elements:

- You need an about page that is easy to find. Typically, people place it under their header as part of their menu. It's the second most frequently visited page on a website, so it's important to make it easy to find. (Consider adding a photo of yourself).

- I would disable AdSense for now. Since you are currently building traffic. It's counterproductive to send them away for a few dollars.

- Your website is missing a privacy/cookie policy as well as the affiliate disclaimer. You can find the template in SiteContent here on Wealthy Affiliate.

- Consider adding a featured image for each blog post. This makes your blog roll look more appealing.

- When adding images, make sure you include an ALT tag. It describes what the image is about, so Google or other search engines can index it.

Other than that, keep pushing! I've been working on my blog for about 8 months. It's finally making enough money plus more to cover all of my expenses such as Wealthy Affiliate membership, Aweber, premium plugins, premium themes, etc.

I wish you great success! Don't give up(:

Cheers,
Eric

Hi Candice,

I am sorry to hear you're in a funk. It is difficult to put in all that time and not see few results. The thing is, though, it can take a while to earn profits in this business. It is common to work at it every day for six months to a year before the sales start coming. You are right to believe in yourself and in WA, but you may have to adjust your and your husband's expectations on timing for profits. Sales almost always start as a trickle, and the fact that you have a little AdSense revenue is something to celebrate. You must celebrate those small wins to keep from getting discouraged.

That said, I took a look at your website and have a few suggestions:

1. For people to buy from you, the trust factor needs to be high. Consider adding an "About" or an "About Me" page so that your website visitors know who is behind these posts.

2. How about adding some large images. One of the posts I clicked on were mostly ads and a small photo. See if you can reverse this: large photos and fewer ads. I know that sounds counterintuitive, but it comes down to the trust factor again. Large images will encourage people to engage with your website. There is a post where you have a number of images of the different types of kindles. Try interspersing them with the text so that the images aren't all bunched together. That will help break up the text blocks.

3. Consider expanding into other topics beyond the kindle. Maybe recommend some books you like to read on your kindle based on what you enjoy reading and what would be beneficial from a keyword research standpoint. Jay had a great lesson on that tonight that you can access in live training which breaks it down step by step. The trick is to drive people to Amazon. Once they're there, they'll start buying stuff and you'll get a commission on the purchases, even if they don't buy the product you're recommending.

Good luck, Candice. Keep learning here and doing the training. Take a look at professional websites that are well done and try to emulate them. I hope you can stick with it.

Even if you’re doing everything right you’re not going to get rich overnight and I mean less than a year. Building a successful business takes time unless you already have a top selling product with many followers that want your product.

Something you might want to focus on to get more exposure is building up your social media networks.

Look into money earning potential within WA like producing quality training.

Patients and consistency are key! Try to enjoy the process don’t rush it. It’s a marathon not a sprint.

If you need money fast you might want to think about other ways to make money until your site is producing what you need.

All the best,
Marcus
