When A Four Cent Profit is a HUGE Success

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

As I've mentioned before, I have a lot of websites, but I've only been steadily making about $40-100 per month passive income from them, and that's not really cutting it for me.

I joined WA a few days ago to unlock the secrets of how people make REAL, life-changing money...a LIVING, from affiliate marketing. In the back of my head, though, I told myself that there was absolutely nothing to learn here. It had to be a scam.

I was a HUGE skeptic, to say the least, and I very grudgingly started my free account, then about 2 hours later upgraded to Premium, only because of the special, low introductory rate offered to me.

I absolutely WAS NOT going to start a website through WA's site rubix tool. But, as I went though my course certification classes, I decided, with a furrowed brow and frown on my face, to try it.

I started my site. "Hey, SLL is free??" I thought. Yep. My other hosting company (where I still at the moment have all my other domains hosted) charges $25 for an SSL certificate. They're free here at WA.

"Oh and there's a free keyword tool included in my membership?......Oh." Am I starting to eat my words? Um, maybe.

I wrote my first blog post using the jaaxy keyword tool. Ok Ok....I'll admit it.... Jaaxy rocks! I've never before gotten the hang of using other keyword tools. So, I've written literally hundreds of blog posts on my "other" websites... ya know those ones that only make me a few bucks a month? Yeah those. Well I embarrassingly admit that I've spent time writing every single one of those blog posts without using any keywords and doing NO key word research. So is it any wonder that they aren't generating much income?

My new site I built with Wealthy Affiliate's tools very quickly got indexed on Google.

I've only had it a few days. I've had my other sites about 4 years. And guess what I just saw when I logged into my Google Adsense account? I've made a few bucks on my old websites as usual, but I've made 4 CENTS from this BRAND NEW website that I just started through WA.

4 cents is a SUCCESS, and here's WHY.

If I can make 4 cents through ads on a website I JUST started, a site that has no content other than one lame blog post (it uses really good keywords, though, because I used the Jaaxy tool)...but if I can make 4 cents already...how much can I make once I finish getting the darn site set up and post actual GOOD content on it!?

THE SKY IS THE LIMIT RIGHT!?

I'm only on Course 2 Lesson 3 in the certification process, and I have a LONG way to go to get through all of this info, and my site is already generating income.

So, this is an example of how a profit of just 4 cents can be a HUGE - I MEAN HUGE - success. I'm still the biggest skeptic you've probably ever met, but I sure am taking a shine to this Wealthy Affiliate stuff.

You might just be winning me over, guys. ...you might just....
