Silly Me! What Was I Thinking?

I feel pretty silly. I didn't even realize what I had here. But at least I can say I learned from experience.

I have tried using Facebook ads a little bit recently. Although I didn't get the results I had wanted, I thought it was pretty good when my Cost Per Click (CPC) would get down to 15 or 16 cents per click.

Then I compared it to what I get with my Wealthy Affiliate sites. And that's when I realized how silly I was.

The training on Wealthy Affiliate, the Jaaxy keyword search tool, and the community here have helped me so much that... well... I didn't even realize how much.

Google Search Console clued me in to reality.

For a one-month period (June 30 - July 29, 2019), here are my stats for one of my websites that I have built with Wealthy Affiliate:

Total Clicks: 777
Total Impressions: 16.1K
Average Click Through Rate (CTR): 4.8%
Average Position: 8

On my second website, I didn't do so well, but I haven't really been working on it recently anyway. So in the same one-month period, my stats were:

Total Clicks: 22
Total Impressions: 1.53K
Average Click Through Rate (CTR): 1.4%
Average Position: 40.1

I have started a third website, but I haven't added it on Google Search Console yet, so I can't count anything on that one.

Now, adding together the clicks on my first two websites that I have here with Wealthy Affiliate, it's 799 in one month.

IF I were paying full price for premium membership, my CPC (Cost Per Click) would be 6.1 cents ($49 ÷ 799).

But I'm not even paying that, because I got the Black Friday special for a year. So my CPC is only 3.1 cents ($25 ÷ 799).

Even if all I got with Wealthy Affiliate Premium Membership was the clicks, that CPC would be TOTALLY AMAZING!

And I'm not even that good at this stuff yet! I can't wait to see what happens when I really get rolloing!

But it's not just CPC. There's so much more to Wealthy Affiliate... the web hosting, the training, the tools, the answers to questions. Just so much!

I've been doing this for a little over a year, and just thinking about the value blows me away!
