It's been 6 months for my site but still no good signs in SERP.
Even after building quality links, and good on-page, I still not even able to get the top 30.
The only thing hitting my mind as a reason is Sandbox, but I don't know how long it's gonna take?

Solutions I was thinking:
To buy an old good relevant expired domain, write some articles & design and 301 redirect to money site? Will it make any difference? or Should I wait little more to sandbox period to be over.

Do you have some social media signal as well ? Try getting direct traffic.
Is your niche very competitive ?
 
You are probably right about the sand-box. It can take months.

The problem is that many people get impatient and mess up (read: buy a lot of crappy links) and prolong the sand-box.

Because that's what the purpose of sand-box really is. It is a counter-measure to black hat methods that used to work back in the day where you could spam brand new site with thousands of links and rank within days.

Do you look like a black-hat site? Well, you just got caught.

But since you say you are currently ranking it's probably just high keyword competition.

I had social media signals, but not good amount of traffic from it, was getting few visitors from quora but eventually they removed my answers

If your really have good quality links as claimed as well as proper on-page.

Definitely your niche is hard. Maybe more links and more content would do the magic for you.

It's Medium Competition
So, what you think, how long do I have to wait.

Well, speaking of links, Yes, I do have quality links some are on process and on-page is definitely better than competitors. The only thing is top results are at least 1 or 2 years or some are more than 5 years and even 15 years. other thing I noticed top 10 has average of 200 articles but I have near 70 right now.

Define "medium" please. According to what keyword tool?

Medium= no top authority domain, average DA of top 10 is 25, not many quality links to top 5 (could be hidden PBN not sure), even on-page seems to be not up to the mark. But as I mentioned earlier, My site is 6 months whereas top 10 are more than 1.5 years, most are 3+ years. And Yes, they do have more number of articles then me. Some Even have 400, but I've got 70 yet.

I can only say this: I've started about 10+ sites after the Google update in May, and they take longer to rank (and more links/higher budget) than anything published before that update. But that might just be me.

I think they're pushing people towards their ads instead of relying on free traffic. But hey, still possible to rank though.
 
The average time for breakthrough in my niche is around 2.5 - 3 years, from the data I've collected via Ahrefs (not their traffic estimations, but huge jump in number of keywords and position). If you are building and/or getting linked in a constant way (average of 300 unique domain links per year, sometimes even more). PBNs not included, of course.

During this time, keywords and top 10 keywords will grow to a certain point - seems like the pattern is pretty stable - and will triple or more for the smart ones. Hope to be one of them.

Sorry to break this to you but most likely not a medium competition keyword.

People miscalculate competition all the time. You see first hand how hard it is.

You shouldn't wait at all :)

Continue building quality links and publishing content. Focus on the homepage and build its authority.

Problem solved
 
This can probably be a sandbox. Improve the quality of traffic and user interaction with your site. Keep building quality links and publish content, gradually you can see improvements.
 
How do we know the sandbox is actually...a sandbox and not just the fact that sites will rank better after 6 months of link building? Has anyone ever come out of a sandbox with zero links?

Not saying anyone is wrong here, just trying to understand the reasoning :-)
 
Keep publishing great content and do proper internal linking. And remember you should be maintained relevance on your content.
