Eleven months with Wealthy Affiliate
"If you do not change something today, the next five years of your life will be like the last five years."
Presently at the eleventh month mark now with one more to go to bring my one year trial to an end. I have finally figured out how to set up my websites and tie them together with one another to maximize traffic.
I've decided to take my business site TD Remodeling and have two main category niche sites handle the most specific pages and posts, one for Tools and the other for DIY. I have two other websites one which I started as a hobby test site to learn what WA had to offer and put it to practice. The second site I will affiliate with WA, to promote signing up with Wealthy Affiliate.
After eleven months this is where I stand with my progress:
TD Remodeling, page 1 position 1, now has 44 pages/ posts with 432 comments. Google search analytics is showing average position at 45.6 with my chosen keywords and all the ones that Google has brought my pages/posts forward for almost 8 months.
Home Improvement Hand Tools, page 2 position 15, has 22 pages/posts with 32 comments. Google search analytics shows average position down from 101 to 58.7 with all keywords for 1 1/2 months.
Home Renovation How To is page 5 position 56, with 9 pages/posts and 18 comments. Google search analytics shows average position at 147 with all keywords just over 1 month.
The newest site What is a Domain Name? Just launched 21 days ago has 8 pages/posts with 22 comments. Google search analytics shows average position at 282.1 with all keywords.
My hobby test site Say It With Photographs, show first four images from my site page 1 position 1 then regular text entry on page 1 position 4, with 83 pages/posts and 692 comments. Google search analytics shows average position at 18.9 with all keywords.
My two monthly newsletters have 6 websites for free tutorials that have a combined 235 pages/posts with 136 comments.
The month of March is now my last month for the 1-year test to see if I could make the WA format work for me and at the end of March I will give my final evaluation for being with Wealthy Affiliate and the community for all that I have learned and how much money I have made.
"Just want to say thanks again to everybody here for all your help, training and support and that goes double for WA."
Still looking forward to getting back with more time!

Just trying to put all the teachings of WA and community together to see how things turn out for my first year, knowing that I put an honest effort into applying everything.
You have worked really hard, sir and I hope it wouldn't end after just one year. You have invested your time and effort in a few websites, and it is worth to work on it some more. But it is all on you, your websites, your money, so you call the shots.
As for me, only after a year, I'm just starting to figure it all out, so I have a few things that I would like to experiment. As I am from Asia, paying in USD is a lot for me, but I've invested in this training and I am determined to make it work.
All the best of success to you sir!
When I first got in, I decided to do a twelve-month log as I go through WA's training to give others something to compare to and see just how long it takes to make things happen.
I was told you can expect to start making money from 6 to 12 months in by following the teachings of WA and the community.
At the end of my twelveth month, I'll give my full report, but it's only the end of these monthlies.
Each individual will get different results I guest. As for me, yes I've started to earn some online income already but nothing spectacular, just barely enough to pay for my membership. I got to think positive that if I can earn something online, it means it can be done and therefore can be double or triple. All the best sir!
Exactly, the other part that was mentioned to me by others was each year you could double your income. That could be a very powerful position to be in.
It is indeed. One more thing is that, online traffic takes time to come and therefore the same with your income too. I am now supplementing my income by doing websites for local businesses and also help with online marketing projects for another company that I'm contracted with. This is something that you can consider to get positive cash flow on the side.

I'm so jealous! I appreciate your sharing all this.
You motivate me! Good luck

No need to be jealous as time passes by very quickly and you'll be there before you know it.
HeHe! Thanks.
