Slowly starting to make things happen
Hey everyone, hope you're doing well.
To give you a perspective, I started my website in septermber 2019 and slowly started adding content, not really knowing what I was doing. I was getting no traffic, even though I was producing helpful and interesting content.
Things started slowly changing for me in around march/april, when I decided to hire a writer and spend more time and thinking on keyword research (I started utilizing ahrefs and keywords everywhere tool).
After I started going for the low competition keywords, my traffic really took off. Each month I doubled or even trippled my page veiws and now I am currently averaging around 300 page views per day.
That also reflected on my earnings. This is a screen shot from my amazon associates account for august 2020:
I know it's still very little and there are many of you that make way more. But I also know there are people on this platform that haven't made any money or they are working their butt off with no results.
For those people that haven't made money so far or doubting themselves - If I could do it, you can too. I have no background with make money online, I play hockey for living my whole life, so you can also say I am not very smart either. And english is my second language.
My best advice to you is to focus on keyword research (most important thing from my experience) and be hungry for information. There is so much information online, you can learn bunch of new things every day.
And lastly, take action. You could have the best ideas in the world, but if you don't take action on them, they will remain just ideas.
Hope this will give someone a motivation boost and if you have a question, feel free to ask - I will do my best to help you out.

Such a great way to think about the internet businesses we are trying to create. Most people may make five times as much but making anything is better than not making any at all. Congrats on your hard work so far and keep it up.
All the best.
