Wealthy Affiliate Challenge Month 1

2.8K followers

I've been a member at WA since last year but hadn't really done anything with it.

So I decided to set myself a challenge. Build a website dedicated to making money online the WA way (?).

The initial target was how long would it take to be making $1k per month from the site.

I want this to be my ongoing main online project.

I see the first few months about getting the site and content right before implementing all the traffic driving techniques that I feel I can be good at, including PPC probably in month 4.

I've done a blog post with all the analytics and stats stuff at http://wealthyaffiliatechallenge.com/wealthy-affiliate-month-1-results

At end of month one there really isn't much to say on the stats.

For me the highlights have been...

  • Writing daily updates on the blog in a journal style has been surprisingly enjoyable (never kept a journal before)
  • Becoming more active within the WA community has been great.
Up till now most of the content has just been written without any thought to keywords and traffic.
But I feel that has to change to find easy win targeted traffic. So I may have to look to target a sub niche within the whole make money online space.
In closing I just want to thank the community members for their kind words and encouragement.
Till next time
Richard

Nice post!

Hi Richard! -

Didn't know whether to comment here or on your Website - I'm sure I will do both!

Well it looks like things are ticking away nicely for you - Great comment you made in your post about your WA journey is making You a Better person - I understand exactly what you mean.

It's giving me a real 'buzz' and certainly keeping me on my toes!
I think at the momment I'm probably putting in about 16 hours a day on average -- Of course I know I'm very lucky to be able to do that.

A 'Normal' day for me at the momment is - Get up - immediately post
3 or 4 WA affiliate links on social media - I currently have 3 Twitter accounts and of course my Facebook account -- I then look at my 'Stats' on the WA Website in the hope that very soon I am going to see a 'Referral' or a 'Sale' - must only be matter of time now!

It then go through my messages before settling down to do some reading - okay it's a lot of reading!

As I read I implement the 'steps' as Kyle teaches them!

So things are coming together nicely here too --

My motivation - apart from the FACT that I WILL be attending the super affiliate conference in Las Vegas 2016! - is that I really believe 100% that I AM in the right place - with the right people - that I Will make Money online - and that after over 4 years I can prove to my wife I haven't been wasting my time!

Well Richard - I think you've come up with a brilliant idea for a Website - and I Will be Watching You!

Best of Everything

Keep on - Keeping On

Kindest regards

David :)

Thanks so much David.

It's really encouraging hearing other peoples stories.

16 hours per day! That's awesome.

I hope I may see you in Vegas 2016.

Richard.
