20 Months with WA: How's My Website Doing
Hi WAers,
It's been a while since I posted my last website update.
To be honest, so there's not so much time to post regular update here because I've been focusing on growing my website.
But I want to continue motivating you, whether you are a new WA members or existing ones, to follow WA lessons in order to reach your success.
Here's my current website stats:
Pageviews:
I reached 100,000 monthly pageviews, wohooo...
One of WA members recently interview me what's the secret of reaching this level of pageview, and my answer is very simple.
Follow WA lessons, use low-hanging-fruit keywords in your post, write good quality content, repeat.
E-mail subscribers:
I started growing my subscribers May last year, and today my e-mail list is growing on auto-pilot.
I almost reach 3K subscribers, with 100 new subscriber joining each week (in average). If you are wondering what did I do to grow my e-mail list, feel free to read my previous blog post about offering freebies to your audience-> https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/fiftarina/blog/8-f...
Income:
To be honest, nothing change much compared to last year income. I was almost double my income when Amazon released the latest commision change. So, it sinks again, lol.
It hurts, but this opens up my mind that I should not depend on Amazon too much.
I started to try other income source, which is ads.
If you follow my website update, you may know that I got rejected by Google Adsense earlier.
But, now that my pageview has soared so high, I decided to apply to a very popular ad-network, which caters to bloggers with high pageviews.
And the result?
It's less than 2 weeks since the new ads was installed and I'm happy to report that my ads RPM has increased so much from $0.31 (with Amazon CPM Ads) to $5.61. Wohoo...
The best thing is I don't need to tweak the ads by myself, my ad network do all of this for me.
If your website has a decent page views, say 50K or higher, I highly recommend you to apply to one of these ad networks:
(1) Mediavine: require 30K sessions per month
(2) AdThrive (which I currently use): require 100k page views per month.
Special thanks to @LaurenJean for telling me that I should apply for AdThrive ;)
What's next?
I'm still doing some experiments on how to further grow my traffic and increase my conversion rate. So, here's what I'm doing behind the scene:
(1) Planning some tricks to increase my Amazon affiliate earning
(2) Planning my product launch (this is scary, I've putting it off for half a year, but I'm coming back again and finally getting serious, wish me luck).
I hope this post can inspire new and existing WA members that you have exactly the same opportunity or even better to reach the same level of success that I have.
Final Tip: follow Kyle & Carson's lessons, stay focused (don't be easily attracted with other shiny objects), and take action.
Cheers,
Rina
I am with Google Adsense and my pageviews aren't that healthy. Unfortunately, I did not set up an email campaign because I didn't have anything to offer, like an ebook or something. I didn't understand the concept until I learned from another source online. one subscriber gives you the potential to make one dollar........1000 subscribers gives you 1000 dollars... and so on and so forth
I am so angry with myself. But I will see this through like any other hurdle. You are so right that the opportunity for success is here for everyone. Better planning and following the training are required on my part.
All the best,
Maxine

Thanks for your awesome post. It's a teal help to me.
Wow, 100K visitors in just one month. Amazing! This tells me you have some great content. Thanks for sharing and I'm also following you as well. ;)
Thanks for sharing.
Yes, I still rely on keywords with Low searches, yet the visitors reaches more that 100k per month.
And most of them (more than 60%) comes from Organic traffic.
The only reason I can give you is once a post ranks for a particular keyword, essentially it also ranks for a lot of related keywords, and thus the number of visitors add up.
But everyone has a different timeline for that. Don't be discouraged if you have not reached this state yet.
I am not a fan of any form of ads, apart from small buttons I would place myself on the sidebar or something towards affiliate programs.
Afterall, you can always try and if you hate it, just stop doing it =).
I think if I just keep doing what I've been doing, I should gain more of Google's trust and be able to get onto page #1 with no problem!
