Hey everyone, just curious as to how long it has taken you to earn your first commission and how much traffic you got in your first month.

I've had my site up and running for around a month now and got around 250 visitors in the first month which I am pleased about.

I'm just feeling a little impatient and would like a rough idea of how long it takes to start earning the first commission?

Thank you,

Melissa.

Hey Melissa,

Congrats on the traffic you've got so far. Nicely done!

I thought you'd like to read this post from a fellow member where he writes about his experience here and also gives some great tips. All the best!

Thanks for sharing that link. It is full of insight. I think many of us do expect this to be a get rich quick strategy and that article makes a good point about having patience and making small adjustments until the blog gain traction.

You're welcome. I'm glad it helped.

And yes, it's all about patience and consistency.

All the best!

Hi Melissa!

Here is how your journey could look, a realistic journey according to KYLE.

MONTH 1: Accomplishments
Website Set Up
SEO Set-up
Initial Framework of Content
Indexed in 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+ uniques 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.

I hope that helps!!

I do remember Kyle mentioning it took him 3 month for his first sale. Consistency and patience and important at this point. I am on my second month of Premium and still aiming for that first sale. When it happens, it will be bliss...
