Hello Community,

I am coming up on the close of my first month here at WA and I want to talk a little about my progress.

Let me start off by saying I have not made any money nor did I expect to this early! What WA has taught me is this is just like starting any business, it is going to take a lot of work and a lot of time so I am perfectly okay with that (for this month!).

In the three weeks or so I have been a part of this community I have:

  • Chosen a niche
  • Built my own website on my own domain
  • Learned A LOT about affiliate marketing and SEO (More than I have ever knownbefore!)
  • Wrote five articles, two of which are reviews (I definitely need to write more content!)
  • Added affiliate links and banners to my content
  • Ranked on page 5 for a couple keywords and page 7 for a couple more
  • Ranked under 500 on WA!

Now let's talk about the traffic to my website, I will attach a picture of my google analytics since inception of my website (Unfortunately it would only let me post half of the picture but the important stats are there). Although most of the traffic is from WA, I am still proud that I have about 200 visitors per week!

Lastly I will leave you with my goals for next the next month.

  • Increase my rankings to at least page 3 for a few keywords
  • Write content more regularly (Much easier said than done!)
  • Finish the WA training

All in all, once I wrote it out, I think I have accomplished a lot in the short time that I have been a part of WA. I am struggling with whether the monthly payment is worth it while I am not making money but I am going to continue to take it month by month and continue pushing!

Thanks for reading :)
