Sales, Sales, Sales, and More Sales

For everyone who's interacted with me on WA, you all know I actually have created several niche website right off the bat. While it goes against conventional wisdom and is sort of "breaking the rules of blogging," I'm a personal trainer, an urban fantasy author, and I'm also big into world events and alternative media - which necessitates several niche sites at once to fulfill my impulses and bring stability to my life.

It also means it's taken me a little longer to see some sales but I'm glad to say that after a year of hard work, the sales are trickling in.

Enough to make a full-time living?

Of course not.

Enough for me to realize that affiliate marketing (as well as my own products) is a snowball effect - so long as I keep up the work. And I have done so, consistently seeing more visitors each month to my sites - where my original niche site created in October 2018 just brought in over 1,000 visitors for month of December (and counting), over 1,100 sessions, and 3,200 page views.

This is far up from the first surge I saw in June and I also realize that these numbers will likely double or triple as I head into 2020, with a record number of articles not only getting indexed in Google, but also getting ranked on the first page.

Amazing.

Oh, and did I mention nearly 700 click throughs via search engines in December?

Another record.

That said, it's off to a "long week" of doing what I love to do - blogging, training, and writing - knowing that the endgame in all of this will truly take me to where I want to go - away from the rat race and into the laptop lifestyle, living life from any nation in the world.
