If you have started your online carrer on WA just like I did you probably got (at least) one website. I Always get a lot of questions from WA students on when the traffic (visitors) will start to find their site. This question (many times) comes to early, usually I get it from new members that have a website that is only 1 month old.
I tell them all pretty much the same:
Normally A New Site Get A BIG Increase In Traffic Around The 3 Month Mark… IF You have done Everything right.
With right I mean that you have been posting new content reguraly and used KEYWORDS the right way.
That´s pretty much it.
If you have done that you might even start to get a lot of organic traffic Before the 3 month mark.
When you get a lot of visitors then you will also most likely soon see:
Your First Sale!
Congratulations!
This is such an Amazing feeling and I remember it with an awesome feelng every time I think back on it.
To be honest this took me about 4 months to accomplish. So that mean that I had worked on my website for 4 months wihout getting paid a single cent…
I Think that is pretty normal stats for someone who is a complete beginner (like I was) and also, of course, DO THE WORK needed.
2 months after that I made my first $2,000+ month.
I had a 9-5 job back then so I could only learn (and work on my website) for about 2 hours per day at the weekdays. On the weekends I did a lot more of course.
If you want to make regular sales from your website I am absolutely sure that you will IF you want it bad enough, have some patience (at least in the beginning) and stay CONSISENT(in the Learning and publishing).
Don´t Forget THIS When You Make Your First Sale!
I didn´t think (or more correctly knew) about it..
But you don´t need to do the same misstake!
Build a LIST!
Start to build a LIST
“The Money is in the list” You have probably heard this statement in some situation by now (as an internet markter)? If not I promise you that you will hear it many times 🙂
There is an obvious reason for that, it is simply true.
Sure, it is not needed to have a list to make money, to be honest I didn´t have a list myself my first 7 months but I am absolutely sure that I would have made more if I did.
There are MANY benefits of creating your list of e-mails online and as soon as you get your first sale it is time to create one!
You got both free services for this and paid ones, I recommend a paid one as they let you collect as many names that you want and also (in my opinion) are a hell lot easier to use than the free ones. They aren´t even expensive and you will make the money back very fast when you start to use your list.
However, it might feel better to start with a free one anyway, if so here you got a popular free one:
The most well know and used by most internet marketers around the World is a paid one that got a free trial (also the one I use):
Do It The Right Way – Learn From A Pro!
When you sart buildig your list you can send e-mails anytime you want to the people you get on your list.
This is very powerful… Especially IF you do it the way it should be done.
How it should be done?
Well, first of all you should give away a lot of free stuff to your subscribers, don´t worry it don´t have to cost you anything 🙂
Free stuff can be information that is helping them out 🙂
If you want to learn from a pro I STRONGLY recommend you to read this book:
It will show you EVERYTHING about building lists and what you should write in your mails for maximum results. It is an awesome book that you don´t want to miss.
Books can change lives this one has changed many lives.

Hey John,
I’m working on two new websites. I decided to start with two because I have plenty of time as I am unemployed. I built the first one 2 months and I know that the first days I made many mistakes. Could these mistakes hold up my site by getting visitors from search engines? Also, I have made my first sale! I have 5 visitors per day from twitter.
First of all, congratz on making your first sale! You know what? If you can make 1 you can make 10, 100, 1000, 10000 and so on! That means you are on the right track. When you find something that works DO MORE of it!
Me to made mistakes in the beginning (and still do sometimes). The first site I made was full of misstakes and I actually abondoned it and started a new one that became the one that brought me my first online income. After that everytime I make Another website it is easier and easier and the sales happen at a much faster frequency.
Sounds to me like you are on your way to achieve the success you want.
/Keep going!
