Starting Course 3 - Making Money, again!

Hello! I just wanted to give a little update on my progress and share with you some thoughts about where I am and how my website is looking along with, hopefully, getting some feedback or advice about a few things.

So I am going to start Course 3 - Making Money, again!
This will be my second go through for this course. I got about half way through this course with another website/ niche I tried a while ago about Candles. That website went on for a few more months, but by then I totally lost interest in it and couldn't get myself to write anymore about candles, lol.

So with my new website, which involves plumbing, I am looking to follow the courses through to the end. I intend to invest 100% of my time into this site and into Wealthy Affiliate as well (You poor folks, you will be seeing a lot more of me).

As of today, I am started the Course 3 - Making Money lessons and it has me a bit concerned. My website is currently about 3 weeks old, has zero site trust and very little traffic. I look up my page positions daily which aren't doing any where near good, but hope to see that improve with time. So I know with more content, more site trust and better ranking on my articles I will get more traffic, it just takes time.

One of the issues I am looking at is the fact of whether I should be focusing on monetizing my site right now since I am not getting any traffic. One of the answers to my own question is the fact that it doesn't matter if you have traffic right now, if you get the affiliates set up on your site, when the traffic does come, the affiliate links, reviews and ads will already be on your site and allow you to start making money as soon as the traffic hits, not afterwards.

So basically, its just a matter of patiently waiting, continue to add content, pest people on the live chat and follow the courses!

:)

I would love to hear where other people are at and what kind of questions they think of during the course of their website progress!

Thank you!
