Glad to see you are plugging along. I'm not to the point where I am making any social media profiles yet or posting images on Pinterest. Maybe the 1st week of august after I get all the website To-Do's finished.
Keep up the good work.
Keep up the good work.

Smart! I did that too. I'm trying to figure out Pinterest atm. So confused. Made a reddit post, it's working ok so far. It's not a huge wave of traffic like facebook. Slow and steady traffic it looks like.

Update 8:
Alright, the first week of the website being up is over. I've had actual traffic for 4 days, but only serious traffic for 2 days. Yesterday, I hit 2,300 UV and 2,800 page views. My amazon affilaite total stats are 377 clicks, 26 conversions, for a 6.9% conversion rate. Total sold revenue was $330. Pretty damn good for day 7!
Facebook is still the main traffic driver. Found some additional groups to post in that really bumped my traffic. Just need to be careful to not get banned from these groups. If I do, I will make alternate facebook accounts. To promote the site. Sadly the really big groups require admin approval for posts, so I'm going to try to be really careful to stay on their good side.
I made 1 reddit post. Reddit is harder because the subreddits in my niche are heavily moderated and don't allow any self-promotion. The post I made stuck though and is driving slow and steady traffic to the site.
Pinterest is a monster, I have no idea what I'm doing lol. My competitors get like half of their social media traffic from Pinterest, so I need to figure it out. Might hire a VA for this. Also have no graphic experience, so don't know how to make my pictures pretty. Oof.
26 now! Thank you!
26 sales now! And amazon affiliate program.

Congrats, I have got to find some good Facebook's groups. That is a ton of traffic! I think I'm on day 8 or so with my site and I've been trying to patiently wait on Google serps.
I clearly need to get into some Facebook groups! I need to find a way to find large groups most of the relevant groups I have found only have a couple hundred members

What is the actual earnings for you? Not the sold revenue.

Thanks! Not a ton of money, but way faster than I expected.
My niche is competitive and huge, so some of these groups have 300k+ members. I won't see that much traffic every day, I just had some things posted that people really wanted to click on lol.

I find the groups just be searching on facebook. They are all closed groups

Update 9:
So after having an amazing day and thinking I wouldn't hit that high again for a while...I proceeded to have an even better day. 3.4k page views and 2.7k UV. Crazy. Sales were ok yesterday, a bit fewer affiliate link clicks. Total of 32 sales as of the end of yesterday.
I got banned from 2 groups for self promotion, but they were smaller groups so I don't really care. Trying to stay on admins good side and only post twice a day. One in the morning and then evening. Made one post in all the groups this morning. Already at 2k page views and its not even noon.
Already 8 more sales today. Someone clicked one if my links and then at some point spent $63 on some lawn equipment. Easiest $5 of my life.
I applied for a niche specific ad network now that I have the minimum traffic numbers. Screw adsense. Hopefully they approve me!
Still need to figure out Pinterest

Amazing work! Can't believe how many views your getting. That's so awesome.. Tried my first post yesterday in a group and got 6 views. First 6 to my site from social media so can't hurt but hard to not be jealous of your 3500 lol.
Keep the updates coming, they are inspiring.

Following this man ... good luck ... try paid traffic (facebook ads) just test with 5$ until you find a good audiance and retarget them easy ... you are on the right way

You'll get there bro! I'm linking things that people can't help but click on
the massive groups in my niche help a lot! I'll keep updating! I think the fact that I'm making people feel like I'm not selling anything helps a lot.
Once I'm approved for an ad network, I'll work on paid traffic
I need to start collecting emails too. I'll start that with my first ebook.
