I Have A Confession
I have a confession.
Yesterday, I reached the top 200 here at Wealthy Affiliate. That's great! However, there's just one problem.
I haven't made a single sale since being at WA.
Yep, I have had my site for a year and am still having trouble with traffic, sales, and affiliate marketing in general.
I had another site with similar issues as well.
However, throughout this journey, I have learned two things:
1. Keep working
2. Create value
Those who have read my posts, both friends and family, have enjoyed the content so far, and I feel like I have provided value.
I hope that I'll eventually turn a profit on the site by providing value to my audience.
So, this post is bitter-sweet for me. I'm grateful to have made the top 200 here. But, I also know that I am not an expert at affiliate marketing yet!

Congrats on the Top 200! Everyone earns at different times. It is work-at-your-own-pace here, Robert! Keep doing what you do and eventually you will succeed! My physical business did not show its first true profit until around the 3 year mark. In November I will have been in business for 30 years!
Success will come, you simply need to persevere as you have been!

Congratulations on reaching the top 200. This shows that you have been very active in the community. That's great.
One thought that came to mind as I was reading your post s.
1) Have you been using Google Analytics and Google Search Console to get ideas on the website traffic and query word ranking?
2) Have you answered the questions related to your niche people are asking?
Here are a few resources to find out the common questions for your niche. soolve.com answersocrates.com usetopic.com/people-also-ask and Google search scroll down and find "People also ask section"
We do hope you get some sales soon.
Good advice:) Thank you! I have been using Analytics and Console, but I may need to explore those more. I mainly use Jaxy to search searchable keywords/phrases.
