Hey guys, I'm new to affiliate / seo and I started my first website about 2-3 months ago. So far I've been posting 2-3 articles a week and promoting on Youtube and Pintrest and have the following stats:

Revenue: $0
GSC impressions (3 months): 5k
Clicks: 120
Email list subscribers: 3
Youtube subscribers: 29
Pintrest monthly views: 10k

By end of this year I want to the following:

Revenue: $500
Email list: 50
Youtube subscribers: 100

I plan on doing more reddit marketing as well as building more links through forums / guest posts

Would appreciate some tips on my journey!

Just keep posting and go after easier keywords. Reddit and guest posts should help too, it just takes a bit of time to see real results.
 
Nice progress, bro, looks like you’re putting in consistent effort.
Keep focusing on content quality and keyword intent Pinterest + YouTube combo is already a good start.
Maybe add some info posts mixed with product ones and try building a few niche-relevant backlinks slowly.
Reddit marketing can help, too, if you add value first before linking. Keep going, results will come with time.

Thank you, I haven't gotten so many backlinks so far I need to focus on this

Best of luck with your journey .
Hope you reach your goal soon .
 
Here are the stats so far from GSC, thiings are progressing but I still haven't built that many links so I need to focus on this. Also need to promote my aff links more since I haven't made any $$$. Not sure if these results are good or bad just consistently posting contnet on the website and promoting

The goal of $500 revenue + 50 email subscribers by year-end feels realistic with your consistency — excited to follow along!
 
You’re off to a solid start—keep consistent with content, focus on building relationships in your niche, and double down on email list growth for steady long-term wins!

Weekly update:

One of my posts managed to get on page 1 and is getting some clicks, nothing insane but good to know the results are starting to come Screenshot 2025-10-20 18.11.34.png
Youtube:
I'm currently editing my Youtube video to be posted today / tomorrow. I need to learn more about YT SEO. One of my vidoes got 2.5k views since then I've been stuck in 100-300 view jail.

Email:
I had a new subscriber over the weekend, so my list currently has 4 subscribers!

Reddit:
My main account that I used to post got suspended for 7 days after getting banned on a sub and joining with another account. I thought a VPN would be enough but it looks like it isn't. I need to lay low since this account has nearly 2k karma and has 5 years of age so it's very valuable

Google:
Still working away making posts, I feel like I finally understand topical authority

You're already starting to see some traffic, which is a great sign. Are you currently promoting any affiliate products on your site? If you keep up this consistency, your goal looks realistic, and I believe you can achieve it by the end of the year. Good luck! ;)

Thank you, yes I'm promoting a few offers at the moment. Pay out isn't good but I'm focused more about learning the skill

Everything has stayed the same otherwise, still posting content recording YT vids. Not much more of an update to give.
