Hello everyone,

How time flies! It's been a busy first year since I joined WA so I thought I would look back at the figures to determine my progress.Am I happy with the results? Yes and no I want to do better to fulfill my dream of making an income for my impending retirement.

One year ago I discovered WA thankfully, prior to that I tried making money on the internet so many times without much success. Do I feel successful now? to a certain extent yes so let's look at the first year figures

My website is in the health niche mainly because I have had great success using natural supplements for some health issues that I had.

The first year has been about creating quality content as taught by WA many thanks to Kyle, Carson, Jay and all the people here at WA that have contributed.

The figures

50 posts 51 pages 36 blog posts

6,000 users 58% organic 28% direct 7% social 7% referral

69.59 % bounce rate 1.33 % session duration

I am affiliated to three supplement companies

1. Affiliate site 828 clicks 12 sales 0.94 conversion rate Commissions 321.00 Dollars Average commission per sale 26.70 dollars

2. Affiliate site Amazon 231 clicks 8 sales 3.00 conversion rate Commissions 9.92 Dollars Average commission per sale 1.10 dollars

3. Affiliate site 9 clicks 1 sale 9% conversion rate Commissions 2.26 dollars Average commission per sale 2.26

SUMMARY

Seems like an awful lot of work for little money but that is the nature of any business in the early years. Looking at the figures I almost broke even on my investment in WA.

The figures are underwhelming, others have had much more success than I have had but as the saying goes

" Rome wasn't built in a day"

I would love to hear other people's first year stories

All the best

Hi Fintan
Everyone I have asked tells me to work hard- really hard for 2 years and after 18months the $'s will grow but only if I keep working and adding content consistently so I hope this encourages you to keep on going as often as possible
Go well
