I read that lot of people give bad suggestions here... for example first at all don't run from WL niche or any other good and competitive niche. When I start doing SEO I read a lot before I start but when I start I pick 1 most competitive at that moment product with 100+ gravity and I with success rank both youtube video and website 1# on Google. In first 6 months of my SEO business, I got over 40k just from those 2 products. So believe in you, read a lot, learn, and follow directions.
One man says: If you show to 10 people exact process how to earn million dollars in the year, maybe just 1 of 10 will earn it, all others will even say at the start it is impossible or will stop after few steps.
Freddy James, I'm doing SEO mostly for clients but always when to get time I do some aff website like I start one before about 2 times, so don't have time for this and see potential in making traffic before rank website on google with this method, can you maybe share your people who doing this for you so I can test it on this new website till I make domain strong and get ranking articles on google by SEO. I already got on this one about 40 post reviews. Off course not mean really to share I mean to pay them
Today traffic becomes important for SEO almost like links, social signals etc...
Sorry for big post but one more thing to say, "noobs" don't listen all people what's is important, just start working and you will see by yourself what is important and what makes money what not. You will never find exact process to make 100$ per day, you need to learn a little... So someone tell niche is wrong that you pick, my first niche was WL, most competitive, I don't know nothing about it, I don't know good english but I earn money. Even at my start I used articles from iwriters, those crappy articles gives me 1-3 sales per 100 visits...
So all is matter and all isn't matter, someone will get 1000 visits and 0 sales with best article but low quality targeted visitors, and someone will make sales with every 50 visit with really bad article but good targeted visitors.
So believe in you and just learn and test, if you fail ones try other method and so go on...
