My 10 Month Progress Report

70
10.7K followers

This Friday, Dec. 2, 2016 will mark my 10 month anniversary with Wealthy Affiliate. These are some of the things that I’ve been able to accomplish during that 10 month period:

  1. I have created 4 websites, all in different niches. One of the sites has a 100% site trust, another one is at 80% site trust and the other 2 are much newer so the site trust for both is much lower.
  2. I have written 4 training modules
  3. I have created 10 different social media accounts, none of which I had before joining Wealthy Affiliate
  4. I have managed to follow over 34,000 Wealthy Affiliate members
  5. I have almost 7,400 followers
  6. Between Wealthy Affiliate commissions and Google Ads commissions, I’ve made less than $300 US. While it is not a lot, it’s more than I ever made with any other program I tried out
  7. I have joined a number of different affiliate programs but I’m only actively using 3 of them on my websites
  8. I have met a huge number of friendly, caring and knowledgeable Wealthy Affiliate members
  9. I have tried to provide answers to questions from other members that I knew the answers to and I’m hoping to help out more in 2017

Unfortunately, I have only had 1 sale through one of the affiliate programs from all 4 of my websites, so I’m a little frustrated with that small amount. Perhaps it's the niche selections that I've chosen, I'm not sure.

On the positive side, when I visit Google Analytics for my different websites, I notice that the traffic numbers continue to increase, so I’m happy with that.

All of the things that I’ve been able to accomplish here were all done because of the training that I’ve received through Wealthy Affiliate.

So while I am not happy with the income amounts that I have made to date, I am very happy with all of the other things that I’ve been able to accomplish. I knew going in that this was not a get-rich-quick scheme.

I just have to continue to work hard, continue to add new content to my sites, continue to follow and/or review the training, continue to find ways to drive traffic to my sites and ask questions if I get stumped.

Finally, I have taken advantage of the Black Friday deal and signed up for another year with Wealthy Affiliate. I won’t have to renew again until February 2018.

I think, all in all, it has been a very positive 10 months and I look forward to the next 14 months with Wealthy Affiliate.

Thanks for reading!

Thank you for your kind words Veronica! I just feel like I should be doing more, but I've only got so much time given that I'm still working full time.

I wish you much success for the rest of 2016 as well as 2017.

Shawn

That you've decided to invest the time to your sites and be active within the WA community, while having a full time job, is something to be proud of Shawn.

Thank you Veronica! You're making me blush!!!!

That's great, Shawn! Keep up the good work!

Thanks Rebecca!

It's been 3 months for me. I've only made a couple dollars with Google adsense, but I got a high amount of traffic to my sites with many good comments!

I'm sure that your numbers will improve over time Karin.

A great move and well done, you have accomplished a lot :)

Thanks Tosh! I always feel like I should be doing more.
