The main question we see in live chat, on blogs and in the Activity Dashboard here at Wealthy Affiliate is: "How do I make money?"
I want this quick and easy tutorial to be a quick guide for anyone who has arrived here and needs to see what they will learn, and how to apply it. This guide is based on my own experiences and situation, and it is entirely based on how I myself ended up replacing my job after joining Wealthy Affiliate.
If you are interested, the following process has taken me about 7 months. Your own results will probably vary.
In my opinion, Wealthy Affiliate is simply a place for learning, with a few added benefits and some extra useful tools. If any users reading this know something I don't, please leave a comment or a private message and, if I see the value, I will add your advice too.
Let's get to it!
Love how you wrote from your own experience. I see that you have a very specific plan of action and it's interesting to learn how you diversify your income streams.
Personally, I found it better to focus on one specific strategy such as targeting low-competitive keywords and building my knowledge upon it.
I still have a long way to go, and can relate when you said that the hardest thing is when you put in loads of efforts yet didn't make enough money. Building an online business is easy in that you don't have a huge overhead cost, that said, you need great self-motivation to succeed.
I'm curious, what is the biggest lesson you've learnt from making money online?
Thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Anh
I really have to check myself when people ask in discussion, quite frequently, when will I make money. I check their profile and they are on day 2.
That's on me not them. It took me 7 months to get my first referral and 9 months to get my first sale.
I agree, the hardest part is when you have been working hours per day and you are on month 4 or 5 or 6 and nothing. The best advice here in my opinion here is:
Get back to it. Just keep going. Nice write up JessHop. When I feel my irritation starting I will link people to this article.
