Just a Quick Update
I've been here for going on 3 months but haven't made money yet. That's alright though because I'm only 15 and I've got a lot of time. I will continue posting content on my website until I have made commissions. Usually I loose interest in things pretty fast, but I haven't stopped doing this. I have 50+ articles but I haven't got much traffic. Hopefully I can turn this into a full time job in the future.
Please leave me some advice :)

Seems like you are making great progress to me Tripp!
3 months is still a bit early to gauge anything really...
Just keep on learning and posting high quality content my friend and let us know how you are doing at the six month mark! :-)
I might need to take a look back. Did a little research and learned a bit about them but never added any. Ill put that on my todo list!
Thanks
It's genuinely really important, it helps Google understand the structure of your site, and how your posts are relevant to each other.
It also helps visitors navigate your site, which is a Google ranking factor.
That does sound like a good idea. Is there a video you may know of that would help me do it?
Alright so I just went and dug a little deeper within my research and realized that already have a few internal links within my posts where is one topic is somewhat similar to another, I linked a post with similar ideas and wrote a short summary of what it is about and why it's relevant. Sorry if that's a bit confusing or if we aren't talking about the same internal links.
Here's an example: let's say you are writing about dogs, and you have a post called "Why Does My Dog Twitch When It's Sleeping?"
Within that post, you could have a sentence that reads, "you may also be interested in learning about why your dog snores."
And then the words "why your dog snores" would be highlighted and linked to the relevant post.
That way, you are telling Google that you have 2 posts that cover the topic of dogs sleeping, and it also helps your reader navigate to a similar topic they may also wish to read.
Every post should have an internal link in it, leading to another post.
And every post should have an internal link leading to it.
No post should be "orphaned" without internal links, so this is something you need to fix.
You’re learning as you go. Period. You may look back at your first posts and scratch your head and figure how did I ever write that. Or things may just happen because it takes Google time to catch up. Be patient like everyone else says.
I believe that I read that it takes an average of 100 posts before you start seeing any money. You're doing good, and staying consistent. The best thing to do is to keep doing what you're doing...the money will come. 🙂
Like Jeff said just keep pushing forward you’re in a prime position so just keep up the good work.

I didn't find affiliate links on every page, and the pages where I did find them, they were near the end of the articles. By then more people than not have stopped reading. Based on what I read, you did have opportunities to include those links earlier in the content. Consider moving them higher and see if your audience responds.
I know you like white on a black background, but it is harder for people to read. Just something to think about.
