Keep calm and carry on. I get it now.

I love to learn, but I get really frustrated when it takes too long. This has been a process for me for sure, with a lot of unknowns. I can't dedicate myself full-time as I have a full-time job and 3 kids, so the progress feels like it's moving at a snail's pace.

I have 3 blog posts, I have changed my wordpress theme over 5 times, I have changed my niche several times, I've toyed with so many different domain names, I have worried I'm too broad, I've worried I'm too niche, I haven't made any money. Too many doubts and unknowns floating around. Thinking about giving in...

But, Keep calm and carry on. I'll push through the training and see where I end up.

What's next for me?

>Finish training

>Continue to build out content

>Focused marketing

Hopefully, making some money. I know it's out there. Check out "notsosimpleliving.com" and let me know your thoughts.

It is going to take some time for the affiliate income to start coming in. This is not a get rich quick type thing. There is no such thing!

Here is what Kyle says about the process you have started:

MONTH 1: Accomplishments
Website Set Up
SEO Set-up
Initial Framework of Content
Indexed by Google, Bing, Yahoo
You have 5-10 posts on your website
Earning Potential: A few sales, just getting your business foundation started

MONTH 3: Accomplishments
Content Starting to Get Ranked
Experience Some Big Breakthroughs in Search
Have Made Your First Sale or Two
Traffic is Cumulatively Starting to Grow
Search Engines are starting to give your site "authority"
You have 30-60 posts on your website
Earning Potential: $0-$500 per month

**Note: It took me 3 months to make my first sale online. Here I am 15 years later full time online, if I quit in the first month I would have never gotten to the experience of lifelong and very fruitful business online. There is something to be said about being patient and not expecting "instant" success in business.

MONTH 6: Accomplishments
Traffic is starting to flow, ideally 100 uniques per day
Sales start to increase with consistency, several per week
You are truly starting to gain some expertise and brand
Bing/Yahoo start indexing your site at a higher rate
Engagement on your site starts to increase
You have 60-100 posts on your site
Earning Potential: $500-$3,000 per month

ONE YEAR:
Traffic is really starting ramp up. You can expect 500+ visits per day
Google is granting your site with some serious authority
Companies and other blogger start to reach out and connect with you
You are making WA sales and other affiliate sales daily
The Vegas Super Affiliate Conference is in your sites
You have 100-150 posts on your website
Earning Potential: $3,000-$10,000 per month

TWO YEARS:
Your business is truly starting to thrive
You are definitely a noticeable force in the search engine world. Google ranks your new content with 24 hours of it being posted.
You are earning a full time income online
Vegas is yours, you have most definitely made it
You have 200-300 posts on your site
Earning Potential: $10,000-$20,000 per month

5 YEARS:
You are a brand/authority in the industry
You have a full time+ business online, likely 6 figures plus annually
Google, Bing & Yahoo love you
You are taking earnings and spending it to drive your business through paid channels
You likely have made several hires, including writers, design help, and a virtual assistant
You made Vegas in the first 1-2 months of the year (with your sites on the 3,000 sales)
You are in a position to double your business annually
Earning Potential: $10,000-$50,000 per month

But remember, you are building a business here. You get OUT of your business what you put into it. Ask any successful person what the fundamental reason why they are successful and others are not and they will usually say one of two things. Hard Work or Focus.

Don't quit! Keep working at it. Success will come!

Thanks Howard! Great advice and I like the way that you laid this out. The roadmap really helps. I definitely don't have as much time to spend as I would like, so it feels slow going, but I'm going to keep at it. Thanks for the post and the vision!

No problem, but as I said this is from Kyle. He set this up and I thought it was so good that I pass it along when needed.

I am glad it helped!!
