Should I Apply Affiliate Links Before Traffic influx?

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

I’m currently doing lesson 4 in course 3, and I was suppose to put in some affiliate links on my blog. Now the thing is, if I don’t have any steady visitor rate is it worthy to apply affiliate links on my site? Do you usually wait for traffic or write more content until some eventually show up?

I’d be really happy if you could post your comments about how much time it took for you to get stable traffic on a particular niche, and how many articles you had to write to get to that point?

Although I have written only 2 articles on StreetArticles which point back to my blog (where I currently have 3 posts and 1 page), they are actually on the first page of google for two highly targeted keywords. According to Jaxxy and keyword tool, there should be atleast some traffic :D
