From Zero to Hero (Almost) – My 28-Day Online Growth Story
Family, let me confess: just a few months ago (May–June), my website traffic was flatter than a South Sudanese pancake cooked without yeast—zero impressions, zero clicks, and zero hope. I was basically the invisible man on Google. If Google had a courtroom, I wouldn’t have been called as a witness.
Fast-forward to the last 28 days. Drumroll, please! 🥁
- 23,000 impressions (that’s 23k times Google waved my website at people and said, “Hey, you might like this guy”).
- 55 clicks (yes, people actually clicked, which proves curiosity isn’t just for cats).
- 140 unique visitors from search (real humans, not bots. I double-checked).
- 576 key events (don’t ask me what all of them are, but trust me, something’s happening).
Now let’s zoom in further:
- Homepage pageviews: 363.
- Sessions: 204.
- Engagement rate: 99.51%. (I don’t know who the rebel 0.49% was, but may they find peace).
- Average session duration: 2 minutes and 32 seconds. (Long enough to drink tea, short enough to forget your password).
This isn’t just numbers. This is growth. From nothing to something measurable. From “Why am I even doing this?” to “Google knows my name now.”
And here’s the secret sauce: Wealthy Affiliate. The training, the tools, the community, the support—it all works if you keep showing up. I’m living proof.
So here’s my advice:
👉 Keep creating, even when the results feel invisible.
👉 Laugh at the zeros, because they’ll one day turn into numbers you can brag about.
👉 Trust the process, trust yourself, and maybe even trust your website (yes, even when it looks like a stubborn donkey refusing to move).
If I can crawl from zero to 23k impressions in under a month, then you, my friends, can sprint past me tomorrow. Let’s keep building, together.
Your brother in growth and humor,
John Monyjok Maluth

Sir, South Soudan called. They want you to send the yeast👍Congratulations. It is such an awesome feeling to celebrate such a feast😆
Thanks a lot, Jeff for this. It's inspiring to me as well. I was offline for long, working on a few other things. Headaches are on me as well.
Other things offline does at times take our time away from our passion on WA, but the important thing is to get back on here as soon as we can
Jeff
Yes, there's need for a balance, too. Thanks for sharing this. I'm working on my 2026 calendar, with articles for my website, newspapers, and much more. I mean, I'm planning content for my 2 customers as well for 2026 based on their business needs.
John
I also make it a point to plan ahead of time the tasks I wish to accomplish
You are ahead of the game for sure
Jeff
Congratulations on your successful project. Sometimes it becomes frustrating when you see things not working out.
It is. But when we keep trying, fixing or finding out why, it gets better and better. I seem to learn a new thing, each day. Today, I learned a few things offline.

Congrats, John! 🎉
This post had me grinning and nodding the whole way through.
From the pancake metaphor to the stubborn donkey website, you captured exactly what this journey feels like the early silence, the invisible grind, and then… that beautiful moment when the numbers start to whisper back.
But more than the stats (which are incredible, by the way), what shines through is your spirit.
You didn’t just grow impressions you grew belief. You kept showing up, even when it felt like nobody was watching. That’s the part Google can’t track but it’s the part that changes everything.
So again massive congrats on this milestone.
Keep walking. The trail is yours now.
Shawn
Thanks a lot, Shawn for this comment. It motivated me to keep going even when things don't look right or as expected. The journey is long, and we must travel it alone or as a group. I love this community.
