It sounds like you are doing your best! It takes time to get recognized and to get traffic to your site. I did not make any money for 6 months and now it is slowly coming in! You just keep your chin up and building your site and all will work out great for you!

You friend,

Keith

I can tell you that it will take time. How much time depends on a lot of variables. I would say...give it a minimum of a year.

But that can't be a year of posting once or twice a month. You have to post a LOT. I tend to try to post once a day.

Does this mean that I write every day? No.

I write most days, but sometimes I'll write three or four articles in a day. In fact, I've written 11 articles (roughly 16000 words) in one day.

Do I post all those articles at the same time? No.

I post one a day, I'll even schedule some to be posted in the future so I don't have to think about it, or remember.

I RARELY ever post more than one a day.

Kyle has a conservative formula:

1 post is good for about 5 clicks a day (to start). Assuming 3 posts per week you can expect about 15 clicks a day for those 3 posts.

That works out to about 450 visitors per month.

So at 3 posts per week, in a month you'll have about 12 posts. So, now you're around 1,800 visitors per month.

Take that out a year and you've got about 156 posts, which is just shy of 24,000 visitors a month.

That's a decent following. From there it builds.

Now, if you're like me you're doing more than 3 posts a week. It's a numbers game.

Once you've been doing it religiously for a couple months, writing will come easier.

Eventually you'll begin to learn what works, what gets people to visit, and what doesn't.

Once you start to gain that level, one really clever or useful post could net you 24,000 visitors in a month.

Think of it like a snowball that you've rolled down a hill.

It's going to start out small, maybe it bounces off a tree from time to time causing it to lose momentum or some of it's mass.

But...if you keep it rolling, it'll gradually grow. As Google ranks your site higher and you get natural links to your USEFUL content, your authority will increase.

At some point, so long as you continue to persist, and that is key, persistence, that snowball will become a monster and a tipping point will be reached.

At that point, you've arrived. Now people are coming to you, and you're deciding if a post that some poor schmuck just wrote is good enough for your audience. :)

If you want it, I mean REALLY want it, you'll get there.

It's not going to happen overnight, and you've GOT to be willing to put in the time, and do the work.

If your audience is primarily English speaking, make sure you're proofreading your work. It's amazing how uptight people can get over proper grammar. I know people that get fighting mad over the improper use of the words your and you're.

You need to do the training...ALL of it. It gets tiresome because after you get through the first two courses Kyle is telling you to write HUGE articles practically with every lesson.

That is NOT just to get content on your site, that's to get YOU used to writing it. You have to totally give yourself over to writing content. It has to become a habit.

You asked how much time, I say give it a year of consistently writing at LEAST 3 posts per week.

If you can't commit to that with your own domain, which you now possess, then you need to consider some other business. I don't mean to be harsh, it's simple truth.

Hell Mlee, I've probably written nearly 800 words in this comment to you. Hopefully they were words that you will benefit from. :)
