It finally happened.After grinding away for 3 months on the site, making adjustments and consistently posting at least 3 times a week - it happened.I made my first money using affiliate marketing. Granted, it's peanuts but it's more about proof of concept. This means that it works. Now the next step is to expand it!Thanks for everything WA!If anyone would like to check out my site, you can do so here. I appreciate your feedback and support!

Hey everyone. I don't think that anyone of us started this because it was easy. Affiliate marketing is something that takes time, effort and discipline. But while you may not have an immediate pay off, you are paving the foundation for your future. Every week, I try to crank out three solid blog posts. I am always thinking of new topics.

I had a fun one today. I was commenting on a blog related tweet (financial blog related), and the original poster had a poll about something wrote an article on (financial trackers - mint vs personal capital). I post up the article, it gets shared and boom. Traffic starts flowing in.Social media can work my friends! Stay active!

Things continue to progress along here. My site continues to grow. More users continue to view the pages. Social media outlets are humming along (Twitter being my best performer as of right now).

Are there any additional things that need to be done to build that traffic traction?Is
