I never thought that things would become tough along the way, all I thought was: 50 niche websites? wow, that's great! Even one website is enough to drive me some extra income after all I have some good marketing skills why not give it a try.

Try, I did, actually am now in my third month since I joined WA and now am coming into terms with accepting that building a successful online business requires effort, time, and patience. Without those three the chances of progress are slim.

Well, without blowing my whistle blah, blah, blah. I want to share how thinking about those three principles has helped me build a roadmap to success and hopefully with my changed direction things will get better. No matter when quitting is not an option.

Let's look at these three principles and how they can have an impact on your progress in any area of life.

Merrian Webster dictionary defines effort in four simple words: "conscious exertion of power" that means that effort requires hard work on your part. Take for example if your goal is to achieve a healthier well-being, you will probably start a routine of doing some jogging, going to the gym etc. These things require energy but you will not see results there and then but you know that such a routine pays off.

Having a similar approach to your online business will pay off. Set a routine for content, keyword search, debugging your website etc. You won't see the results now, actually you might check your google webmaster and see that nothing has changed but, that routine is important for your site health. Don't give up!

This is the most valuable asset you have, in fact, many have equated it to money and for a very good reason. Buying out time for your business is prime. You can't understand your niche well if you don't set aside time to research, understand the trends and more.

True, with the daily concerns like work, family etc, balancing isn't easy but there are good tools within WA like Jaxy they can help you do research without exerting yourself very much. Even Google has some free tools that can help you understand what your target audience is looking for.

The point is we will never have enough time for everything we want. Therefore, the same way you buy out time for other things that are important to you, buy out time for your business for it is one of those important things.

Patience is the ability to wait or continue doing something despite the difficulty. In my country, many are basically farmers. These farmers have a very good proverb that they use when cultivating - 'The joy of harvesting is medicine to the pains of cultivating'.

For any business to successfully pass through its initial stage of growth, one has to project, anticipate the results and the potential gains otherwise no business would thrive. Your online business needs a similar projection, anticipation and looking beyond the current pains.

So, be optimistic about every niche you write, work hard at building a good site health, create time for your website, and be patient while projecting your potential. Think of successful affiliates, at one point they were where you are now but they no longer remember that why? they are harvesting from their pains.

Wish you the best in your online business journey.
