I DIDN'T make my first commission.

I DIDN'T make my first commission.

Hello fellow members of the WA family.

This is my first blog post within the platform. For those who don't know me at all - I got here 2 months ago, but unfortunately for the past month I barely had even a little time to write on my website, let alone doing the training, or other going forward improvements.

Thankfully soon things will get back to normal, I hope, lol, and I will be able to spend more time on my website and the training.

The reason I am writing this post is because I as well want to share an achievement of mine.

So, as I said, I am a newbie. A newbie who recently haven't put a lot of work, due to a lack of time (writing at this very moment from my phone at my work). Even if I had the time, I wouldn't expect any results so soon.

Yes, I got some positive results in August - the month in which I published just 1 article, and hopefully until September I will have posted 1 more (which will be my 10th).

What is the achievement? I simply got some organic traffic. That's it, lol. I used to believe that nobody was coming to my website, as it's pretty new.

I knew that the analytics kept showing some traffic, but I tought it was my own browsering, or people I asked to give me feedback and comments.

As you see on 5th of August I got 43 sessions. But still I was sceptical. "Naah, it's not possible. Not yet. It's people from WA" I said.

Yes, but a couple of days ago 20 people came in. I didn't ask for comments or feedback, didn't share the website anywhere, and I didn't even browsed it myself.

This is what made me curious. I counted all the sessions and checked where they came from.

20 sessions from WA. (I think they should be more thou). From the different countries I could tell how much sessions came from myself. The end result was that about 89 random people visited my website. (One has even shared it on Facebook!!! That was not me, I don't feel ready for social media at this point)

I know this is not a "I got my first commission" or "I made 10 000 visitors this month", but I felt pretty amazing by the fact that actual people came to my website.

The questions "How did that happen" is still on point, thou. Jaxxys ranking could only tell me I am not ranked on the first pages. I didn't upgrade jaxxy so I don't know how well I am actually ranked. If one could share a tool which I can use to check my rankings, I would be really thankful.

Thanks stopping by and giving the time to read my post. Feel free to leave a comment. (how do you think I got this people in my website; how did your month go; share a similar story...)

Have a great day/night,

Teo
