A bit frustrated but i will pursevere!
So its been just over a month now and the frustration has set in..I've been creating content..completed tutorials 1 through to 4 and set up a Facebook page..I've even promoted it and got 100 likes but try as I might I cannot find my website using any of my keywords in google.
I thought I'd hit a result when I found one of my keywords ranked on page 8 (woohoo i thought!!!...im easily pleased)but then all was lost when i did the search again and I now cant find it!..I've got analytics all set up and webmaster tools but it seems the only people that have visited my site are pretty much all here at WA..
So is it time to call it quits??
Well you know what..i don't think so..im enjoying it..yep I've had only 100 visits to my site and no one has clicked on any of my links but I have to say I'm proud of my little website..its proof that I can create content and build something that in the long run may just may make me a pound. But it's not really about the money for me (although that would be nice) it's more about seeing if I can drive traffic to my site using the things I have learnt here, and I've put too much time and effort in to stop now.
So i guess ill just keep on writing the content and trying to engage on Facebook and see what happens..only time will tell but I'm going to give it a year at least!!..right..off to look up some more keywords i suppose and ya never know this time next year I may have got a following!
oh and ps if you would like to follow me on facebook my page is

.Hey Pete...Frustration is part of the game online...take a break, go for a walk and reconnect with the world around you...Tomorrow is another day. We have a website that has been live for over a year , it is on page 2 of Google....haven't made much money off it, but it sits there and the other day we made $140 commission from a product we were advertising on the site. Came as a nice surprise. So you will get results and build a following over time...a month is really not much time. I would get frustrated sometimes because I am used to getting paid by the hour, so if I worked an hour there was some cash...But
online, you work and work and sometimes money comes,definitely a different way. Trading time for money can be more satisfying in some ways especially when there are bills to pay. Hang in my friend you will do well. Wishing you lots of success.

You can't expect results straight away, it takes time to build your business, you need to do a bit at a time, remember the saying "Rome wasn't built in a day" . You have a lot to learn here as well as all the training that is in WA, Wordpress is a subject on its own that you need to master, just keep going and do a bit each day and the results will follow!
