How long did it take you to get started and where are you at now?

I also thank you guys, and this post/question. I’m 2 months in and have made $0.00! It’s definitely discouraging because I’m devoting the majority of my free time to developing my site. I work 40+ hrs a week at my job and have an 11 mth old at home. So time is valuable and limited. Questions start to run through your head, maybe I picked a bad niche? But stick with it and keep going! I feel like I see a lot of blog posts with great success stories and it makes me a little discouraged. Also remember people tend to only post their success and they also may have been at it longer or have more time than I do to devote to this.

I’ve also started to develop another site, but haven’t yet purchased a domain. I’d be pretty happy if I would make $13 in the next month

Hey there.
The really good thing about your reply is you are still here and after a couple of months you are much wiser as far as realistic goes.
I should think if everyone knew that they would be two months in with lots of work and have no income to show for it they would hesitate to join and go look for a get rich quick scheme - translated that actually changes to lose your money fast (ask me - I should know). Here at WA it is slow and steady and then seems to go on auto-pilot but still requires site maintenance.
If you slack off totally you soon slip down the rankings.
That little 11 month old will be real proud of you soon.

This is exactly what I'm looking to know. Not sure if I realistically have the time to be successful at this. Thanks for your honesty. Haven't heard one real successful story yet.

Stay as a free member and work through the free courses in your own time and at your own pace. Then you can make a decision.

You are absolutely right. Some people are spending more time on it, but that is okay. Stick with it, and you will see results. It may take a lot longer than you have anticipated, but then again, it may not. Only time, dedication, and perseverance will tell.

This is probably not the success you are looking for, but I started one site back in January of 2018, and have made around $13 from that one site so far.

I have 2 other sites that have not brought me anything yet, but they are still in their infant stages (1 month, and 1 week).

So all in all, I run 3 sites, and have made $13 in 4ish months.

Might not sound like much but I remember someone once saying that Internet Affiliate Marketing is like trying to push a locomotive out of the station.
It takes a lot of energy and effort to get it going (and many will give up) but if you persevere and get that locomotive rolling there ain't nothing in the world that's going to stop it as it speeds up.
$13.00 in 4ish months is a great start.
Me I'm still pushing to get a decent locomotive moving. I've had a few get started only to be derailed by me not continuing to push.
@KLG-80 it sounds like you want some proof before you get started or commit fully.
Here is the honest truth - it is damned hard work and very frustrating at times because you might not (probably won't) see success immediately but ...
The sky is the limit and the only way to get to that point is to do the courses and do them exactly as they are laid out - DO NOT SKIP A SINGLE STEP!
Don't rush headlong into it.
Do your research and be sure the niche you choose is one you have a full understanding of (or better still a passion for).
Best of luck

Thanks. I appreciate your honesty!

My pleasure

That sounds like a start! Did you start with premium membership right off the bat?

Yes I did. I really don't think you can start a full time business for such a low start up cost anywhere in the universe.

No I began blogging as a starter around January, and blogged on and off for a few months. I didn't take blogging too seriously. Then about a month ago, I tried premium for a month, and then went yearly a week or so ago.

Like Bald Eagle as said, blogging isn't an easy 'get-rich quick' scheme. It requires hard work, a lot of time, and plenty of patience. If you have those, then you should do fine.

I want to join but can't afford to right now. Will I still be able to later? I need to know that I'll make that much to cover the cost.

Yes you can join us later. But you can't get offer free premium first month.

The good message

You can take your time to build out your website, besides the 10 certification course lessons and the 10 Bootcamp lessons, there are thousands of membership training here available. I just check that via my daughter's free account, and some are set to premium only, but you can access most training.

This training is about what you can do with a free membership.
This is my daughter, she has a free membership for over 2 years now The bad message

You are basically on your own, you can't interact with the community as a free member.

Yes, you can join later. It will take some time before you’ll generate income on your site. The trick is to place yourself an an authority in your niche and getting your visitors to trust your opinions...once they do they are more likely to follow your links and so on.

That said there’s something to be said for branding yourself. If you build your site on the siterubix.com domain moving to your own domain later is still possible and even if your visitors use the old URL after you do move the old URL will forward to the new.

Will I make money without joining the premium at first,?
