as a general rule how much time does it take to learn the material to become good at online marketing
Here is how your journey could look, a realistic journey according to Kyle.
MONTH 1: Accomplishments
Website Set Up
SEO Set-up
Initial Framework of Content
Indexed by Google, Bing, Yahoo
You have 5-10 posts on your website
Earning Potential: A few sales, just getting your business foundation started
MONTH 3: Accomplishments
Content Starting to Get Ranked
Experience Some Big Breakthroughs in Search
Have Made Your First Sale or Two
Traffic is Cumulatively Starting to Grow
Search Engines are starting to give your site "authority"
You have 30-60 posts on your website
Earning Potential: $0-$500 per month
**Note: It took me 3 months to make my first sale online. Here I am 15 years later full time online, if I quit in the first month I would have never gotten to the experience of lifelong and very fruitful business online. There is something to be said about being patient and not expecting "instant" success in business.
MONTH 6: Accomplishments
Traffic is starting to flow, ideally 100 uniques per day
Sales start to increase with consistency, several per week
You are truly starting to gain some expertise and brand
Bing/Yahoo start indexing your site at a higher rate
Engagement on your site starts to increase
You have 60-100 posts on your site
Earning Potential: $500-$3,000 per month
ONE YEAR:
Traffic is really starting ramp up. You can expect 500+ visits per day
Google is granting your site with some serious authority
Companies and other blogger start to reach out and connect with you
You are making WA sales and other affiliate sales daily
The Vegas Super Affiliate Conference is in your sites
You have 100-150 posts on your website
Earning Potential: $3,000-$10,000 per month
TWO YEARS:
Your business is truly starting to thrive
You are definitely a noticeable force in the search engine world. Google ranks your new content with 24 hours of it being posted.
You are earning a full time income online
Vegas is yours, you have most definitely made it
You have 200-300 posts on your site
Earning Potential: $10,000-$20,000 per month
5 YEARS:
You are a brand/authority in the industry
You have a full time+ business online, likely 6 figures plus annually
Google, Bing & Yahoo love you
You are taking earnings and spending it to drive your business through paid channels
You likely have made several hires, including writers, design help, and a virtual assistant
You made Vegas in the first 1-2 months of the year (with your sites on the 3,000 sales)
You are in a position to double your business annually
Earning Potential: $10,000-$50,000 per month
But remember, you are building a business here. You get OUT of your business what you put into it. Ask any successful person what the fundamental reason why they are successful and others are not and they will usually say one of two things. Hard Work or Focus.
I hope that helps!

what is the best way to drive paying customers to my website
Hello Chico,
My advice, Get a timer like Jay suggested to us during yesterdays Video lesson, set it for 60 minutes. Spend that time on WA certification courses.
1 hour a day should be sufficient. As you progress in your training, you will be instructed on the various methods on how to drive or attract paying traffic to your website or sites. Hope this helps!
Have a blessed day,
Linda
Hi Chico! Have you started the certification training yet that is at the "Get Started Here" link?
yes I have but I have a full full time job and I do not want to spend too much time doing this training if it is going to become too much of my time. thank you
Unfortunately, the certification courses will be the best way to learn how to grow your website. Yes, they will take time. There is no way around it.
This is not get rich quick but a marathon that must be run and it will take time and work to create a money-making website. But once you do, then it will continue to create income.
Hopefully once you get going you will find the training sessions are actually a lot of fun and very well organised so that progress can be made.
Best wishes!!
if you had to say based on your own experience on an average how much time will it take to go through this training
I realize that I will have to invest time I just don't want to be overwhelmed with too many hours
Wow, it has been four years since I took the courses. Some went quickly as they just required website setup and such. When it came to writing content, that took longer before I could progress through the lessons.
There are 50 modules. I think if someone spends time each day, let's say one module a day, then in two months, you could be finished. But, I have seen people do it a month.
It just depends on how much time you want to spend each day. See if you can start with an hour a day. Just be consistent and take action every day. I think you will find once you get rolling you will spend more time just because you are enjoying it.
It really depends I do a course but during the course I dont rush through it. If it says write a post I write the post clean up all other posts proof read a few post and possible make a few changes. check my links. then move on to the next lesson. sometimes I may end up writing more than one post during that lesson. I try to get as much as I possibly can from each lesson. After I finish a certification course I move on to a bootcamp course before I do the next certification course. However during the bootcamp I am not actually doing the Wealthy Affiliate for it I ma applying everything I learn to my website that I am using for the Certification. When I finish going through the Certification and bootcamp with my one website I intend on starting the process over with A wealthy affiliate site. I know this seems like a lot but I want to be successful and I know that to be successful I have to put in the time and work.
