Believe In The Process
Look, when it comes to content marketing for driving organic traffic to your site, we all know the process.
It's the core of the training here in the WA. But the biggest thing (I feel) that is challenging for many people is believing in the process.
Unfortunately, we are in a "I want it now" world. Many people want instant gratification and if it doesn't happen. Many people abandon things and move on.
And a lot of people do this over and over again. And by doing so never achieve what they want to achieve.
And it's because they didn't believe the process. And another big thing is they have little to no patience.
As a content marketer your biggest asset is your patience. You'e not going to see things happen right away.
But if you’re following the process don’t panic. Things are working, you just can’t see it. But when you do – that thrill is amazing.
I’ve been a fulltime affiliate marketer since 2005 and I’m still amazed when things happen. For example, I wrote a review about a MLM business opportunity and published it on August 17, 2021.
And like all my content I did my keyword research, checked my competition, and then wrote an in depth review (3459 words).
So today I got a notification of a comment. And it was for that review I wrote. So, I answered it and then I decide to check were my review was in the rankings to see if this is how this person found it.
And guess what? Because I followed the process and I believe in the process. The review I wrote on August 17 of this year is ranked on page 1 in the 6th spot in Google. And that’s not the only review I have on the first page of Google.
Now maybe you’re frustrated because you don’t see things happening right away.
Relax, Believe In The Process. It's Working.
Now let me add a cavate to that. Not everything you write is going to rank well or even get indexed.
It’s NO BIG DEAL! You’re in this for the long haul it's all good.
Believe in the process.
I believe in you

Hello Leo,
Thank you for your blog post.
I hear you big time! I also believe that many people give up far too early, probably just before they are about to have success! The other fact is that members need to understand that it takes a lot of work to grow a business whether it's online or offline. I believe that many members do not realise the amount of time it really takes to create an online business.
I like your last sentence; "believe in the process"!
All the best to you.

Once you understand things take time, then things do get easier because you understand. Not to say you're not going to have challenges. Hell, I still want to through my computer out the window at least once a week - lol.
All the best to you as well.
Thank you for your reply, Leo.
Your last sentence reminds me of when I used to use Windows XP; I wanted to throw my PC out the window on a daily basis! Thankfully, Windows 7 and Windows 10 have worked so much smoother for me! I also have a much more powerful laptop and desktop, which I believe makes a huge difference. I remember rebooting Windows XP several times a day to try and make it work more efficiently! Thankfully those days are over!
Enjoy the rest of your day.

Oh I remember the days of 7 and XP - glad those days are done - 10 has been glitch free so far - finger's crossed it stays that way.
I actually found Windows 7 okay, maybe I was one of the fortunate ones! Or maybe after using XP for so long it was a pleasant relief! Indeed, let's hope Windows 10 stays glitch-free!
Have a great week Leo.

I total agree Leo believing in the process is the hardest thing to do. I keep having little wobbles but I'm keeping going as I can see my traffic increasing slowly month by month. My blog is 9 months old now and it's getting there. :-)
I'm doing my best so far I have written 259 posts in 9 and a half months. Trying to get to 400 by the end of December :-)

Thanks, Leo -- a good, positive message. Yes, I believe in the process. It doesn't always happen fast and it might come about in some surprising way, but looking back, I can see the results. It is just important to keep believing and keep moving forward.
I believe in you as well.
As long as you're taking one positive steps forward each day no matter how big or small - you will get to where you want to go.
It's all about belief, trust in yourself and always moving forward.
