The key to truly understanding online business is understanding where revenue comes from. The short answer, is it comes from TRAFFIC.
So the better question one should be asking is "How long before I start getting consistent traffic?"
Building traffic takes good techniques put into consistent practice. Traffic begins as a trickle, then grows into a stream, and then finally blossoms into a river. And when it does come, that river is a strong one and the time you took building your business patiently will pay off more than you can imagine.
And with consistent traffic comes real revenue.
The great thing to note is that the training you get here at Wealthy Affiliate gives you all the tools necessary to build that precious traffic. It is just a matter of putting them into practice. Google doesn't reward new sites overnight. Google wants to see if you're in this for the long haul. Are you ready to show Google that you're determined to succeed?
Let's take inventory now as we head to the last page and confirm exactly why Wealthy Affiliate sets us up for success...
Success comes in time, but there is some hard work to be done in between and as you pointed out, if you get the foundation right it will come in time.

I work for a spa and started my own business after graduating from Massage school in 2012. I got no clients really my first year, second year I ran Living Social specials just to get my name out there. I called this sweat equity because I made nothing per client. LS made the most of it. Maintained some of them but life got in the way, divorces, lost jobs and moving. So again I was at scratch one. My point, I never gave up, still have my office, still work full time at the spa. Was named Best MT in 2015 in my area. I've got referred clients coming in. My problem is that I work way too much now. But I never gave up.
I hate failure, it pisses me off to the umpteenth level. No matter how frustrated I get or how much crap I talk I will press on. I've given up in the pass because I didn't want to do the work. I know what it takes just didn't want to do it. Now I don't have a choice. I can't continue at the pace I'm at.
Took a break for a few days from here. Got my piss and vinegar back, lets get it done. Working on bringing that traffic I need.
Welcome back.
It's to those that this training is pointed at to help them focus on just how good we got it at WA so it's a little easier to stay patient and driven.
Stay patient and driven, even if you have to bitch about it. That's my way of dealing with my lack of patience. Venting is good for the soul.
