I’ve been studying how to improve my headlines lately so I hope this one really got your attention. Don’t worry, it isn’t just hype because in this post I’ll show you step by step how you can build a business in just 5 months.
Hopefully you all are aware of my journey of building my affiliate marketing business from scratch. The is my 27th post on this blog and in almost all of them I’m sharing what I have been doing each week to get to where I am today.
To save you the trouble of going back through every single one of my posts, I’m going to go back through exactly every step I’ve taken to build my business from scratch and how I’m generating income online today. Okay, so are you ready to just dive in?
Building a Real Business
First off, my goal is to build a business not just promote affiliate products through Clickbank or any other affiliate program. So what this means is that it’s in your best interest to have your own product. But don’t panic, I’ll show you how you can accomplish this task as well.
Now having your own product will begin your journey of building a name for yourself. Sure, you can go the route of just promoting affiliate products if you want but you know that eventually if you want to have some pull, you’re going to have to put yourself out there and it depends on which niche you are interested in pursuing as to what kind of product you want your name to be attached to!
So you can start by either purchasing a product with resale rights and go that direction, which by the way is what my New Super Affiliate product entails, or you can hire someone to create one for you. Another option is you can interview someone who is very popular in the niche you are interesting in pursuing and make that interview your first product. Either way, that’s the best way to start. So once you have your product in place, where do you go from here?
Let the Fun Begin
Step 1:
Get your website and autoresponder series in place. This means you will have to purchase a few domain names, sign up with a hosting account and get an autoresponder service (and yes, these are my affiliate links so if you do sign up I will make a commission).
Step 2:
Get your accounts set up at:
- Create Facebook Fan Page
- YouTube
- EZine Articles (don’t discount this one yet)
- Create your Blog
It might take you a little while to get all of this into place but I wouldn’t drag my feet and I wouldn’t give myself more than two weeks tops to get this all into place.
Step 3:
The next step is to start generating content. You will need to start writing blog posts and articles. The articles are mainly for getting backlinks to your sites and not necessarily for traffic. Either way, you will need to put some time into creating content and you need to be consistent. Set a schedule and stick with it. This is SO important.
Step 4:
Start shooting some videos, even if you just start out with PowerPoint presentations. Doing screen capture videos and teaching other people how to do certain things is so powerful, but in the beginning, not a necessity. You just need to start getting something going.
Step 5:
Once you have some content up and videos shot, it’s time to start driving traffic to your sites. You can do this through:
- commenting on other blogs (If you need to know how, be sure to read my post “Blog Commenting, My New Favorite Thing“)
- commenting on other videos
- visiting forums in your niche and answering questions (never spam the posts with your links, that’s a big no no)
- social bookmarking your site and other content you find helpful (this makes you look really good in other people’s eyes)
- ping your content (all of it, your articles too)
- submit your posts to blog carnivals
- submit your site to the website directories
- submit your blog to blog directories
- submit your RSS Feed to RSS directories
- set up your RSS comment feeds on your social networking sites (I show you how in this video, “How to Create an RSS Comment Feed to Facebook & Twitter“)
- join blog networking communities (Blokube and Blog Interact are great)
- join giveaways
- start writing guest posts (people will start inviting you or find blogs that accept guest posts, here is a list of internet marketing blogs)
- join blogging communities (like Triberr, let’s talk, I can send you an invitation)
Once you have started implementing all of the above, you will start seeing traffic come to your blog and your site which will lead to opt-ins and sales.
Here are my stats to date:
- December I made 2 sales = $54
- January I made 1 sale = $27
- February I made 2 sales = $74
- March I made 4 sales = $108
- April I made 4 sales = $128
That’s a total of $391 over a 5 month period. So you can see how it’s slowly progressing. Once you start entering giveaways and joining other joint ventures, you will start getting more traffic to your site, your list will continue to grow and you will start making even more sales.
My stats for the number of visitors I’ve received to all three of my sites is well into the thousands but I know that everyone’s numbers whether it’s traffic, opt-ins or sales will be different. Want to know why?
Because it all depends on the amount of time and dedication you are willing to put into this project.
- How consistent will you be with writing content and posting it online?
- How many videos will you shoot and put up?
- How many blogs will you visit and start commenting?
- How much time are you willing to dedicate?
- How much money are you willing to invest?
- How much effort are you willing to put into building a business?
These are all questions only you can answer but just from my results alone, you can see that I’m well on my way to building a business for myself. 13 sales and only $391 may not seem like much to some people, but it’s a heck of a lot more than a lot of people have ever made here online. By continuing to learn, grow and implement the strategies and methods you learn, your business will continue to move upwards. There is no doubt in my mind. But it’s all up to you and no one else can do that for you.
What Are You Willing To Do
So here are a few question for you.
- What are you willing to do in order to build your own business whether it’s affiliate marketing, internet marketing, social media marketing or network marketing?
- What kind of time and effort are you willing to put in?
- What kind of investment are you willing to make in yourself?
- What kind of investment are you willing to put into your education?
Only you can answer those questions but I would love to hear what you are doing online and what type of business you are involved in. How are you doing and what type of progress have you made? Have you been working it non-stop? Have you seen consistent growth? Are your profits rising?
No, I don’t want to necessarily get into your personal business but I would be curious to know how you are progressing online and what you’ve learned from this experience. Please, do share and leave your comments. You know how much I appreciate your input and your honesty! You help me move forward and continue to grow and learn so I thank you for that!
Think I’ve covered enough on this subject for now. So I’ll sign off and look forward to hearing from each and every one of you. Thank you again for your time.

I like yours much better so will you show me how? We know it can’t be all hype, there has to be some truth to it!!! But I want to know, tell me tell me!!!
I am leading a couple of blogs. Some are on my native language, hence totally different rules apply for those. I am looking into incorporing affiliate strategy into main english blogs. Its hard for non american citizen to get admited into aff networks, so I stick with amazon associates, where I earned 4$, from one non related sale, from single link.
I intend to include more amazon links, they seem to convert more often, because of thrust factor. What are your thoughts on amazon?
Bojan recently posted..Warning- These tips can get you a raise
I don’t promote Amazon products but have heard a lot of really good things from other people about building niche sites around Amazon products. I say go with works best for you. If you need any assistance creating Amazon niche sites, check out Alex Whalley’s blog. If I remember correctly, he’s become very good at that.
Hellooo! Adrienne,

Awesome! The 5th step is much important to me. It helps me to get points on where to go. I’d like to participate it. Make a list ,do it in processing and write it with my journey.
Thanks for sharing.

This is an amazing article! This is perfect for beginners and even intermediates alike. Thanks for all your awesome actionable content Adrienne
Why thank you Edwin, I appreciate that. That’s exactly why I put this blog together to help mainly beginners or others who may need a little help or direction with where to go in their business. I do hope it helps others.
Thanks for your comment.

Hey Adrienne,
Nice tips there.I believe in the third step only writing blogs will not do.The content should be quality oriented.And with the Google panda update it has become a necessity for the blog posts to be unique.
Shivam Garg recently posted..20 OFF DODOCASE DISCOUNT CODE
Hey Shivam…
You are right, you can’t ONLY write blog posts. You need to be doing other methods for driving traffic to your site like I suggested. Putting together other Web 2.0 properties and writing unique content is another great way to go. Since Google’s Panda announcement, I have cut back on my article writing, but I’m still driving targeted traffic to my site. Maybe you can share with us what you are doing. My readers love hearing how everyone else is having success.
Thank you for stopping by and for your input. It’s always appreciated
Hi Adrienne,
This is really awesome, I’m happy for you
For me personally, I have created three products (e-books) so far. I do most of what you listed such as marketing on twitter, facebook, commenting, building relationships online, article directories and SEO. Now, 70% of my traffic comes from google which I’m excited about and it is increasing. The key is consistent growth even it is slow. My sales are increasing as well although I’m no where I want to be, but I’m getting there. Doing guest posts is really crucial. I have been busy the past month or so, hence I haven’t done any, but I’m going to get back on track. Thanks for sharing Adrienne, excellent post 
Hey Dia,
Thanks for stopping by and for your comment. You are a great example of how to create a business (your eBooks) and that by doing what I laid out that I’ve been doing, you are seeing the traffic and you are making the sales. It is a slow process but in the end, isn’t it so worth it! I think most people expect to start getting instant results and that’s not always going to be the case. Patience is the key and that’s something I’ve never been good with. But I’m getting there.
Thanks for your input, I appreciate it. Finding time to write guest posts is difficult. I’m being invited now but finding the time is hard! Prioritize, that’s the key!

Hi Adrienne
Great informative post. In regards to building a business I started by offering a service first ghostwriting which created an immediate income for me. Now I am busy creating my own products and selling them as PLR content. I really enjoy doing this and look forward to being able to concentrate on the PLR content as my sole source of income.
Off to watch your video on RSS feeds! Thanks
Sue recently posted..Ghostwriter to the Gurus Foolishly Giving Up Content
Hey Sue,
I enjoy writing but never looked at myself as a writer. Or shall I say as someone who could be hired to write. I would have loved to do ghostwriting so I admire you and others who have taken that on. I also know a few people who are writing PLR and now have their own product regarding that. I love PLR, when it’s current and up to date that is so I’m sure you will do very well in that area. I’m so impressed and would love to check out some of your stuff. So, be sure to share with me okay!
Hope you enjoyed the video…

I love when bloggers who experience success at every step come forward to share it. It is awesome and not everyone can do this. See, in just 5 months you are displaying your earnings.
To me, setting a goal, and working towards it, not matter what it takes, works great. I have adopted this strategy at my blog and I am doing great!

Brilliant post. I love that you’ve covered the essence of this process so thoroughly, it really shows that you understand the steps that you’re taking and aren’t just fishing around in the dark as so many are when it comes to making money online!
What I like the most about this post is the questions at the end. Honest answers to these will save a lot of misdirected energy or inappropriate choices further down the line, and really help you identify what kind of business is right for you…
Well done Adrienne, I appreciate the clarity you’ve put forward on this topic.

Thank you for that, I appreciate it. I’m doing my best to make this as easy for people as I possibly can. I am just so hoping that by me sharing what I’m doing and proving how this works that more people will be able to see that this is achievable. Sure hope it’s helping someone out there.
That’s exactly what I’m doing Jym, asking questions, evaluating the answers and moving forward from there. It’s kind of like a community project. Little did I know I’d start this out that way. But it sure has been a blast.
Thanks again, really appreciate your encouragement and comment. It means a lot.

I like your personal touch blogging style Adrienne. It’s a progressing online marketing journey for me too, lately I concentrate more on micro niches and Amazon products. I think it’s can help produce stable income in long term. Thanks for sharing

Hello there Rammesh and welcome to my blog.
Thank you, glad you enjoy the way I write. I’m really trying to make this journey as painless as possible for people. I’m a work in progress so just enjoy showing others how it’s all done.
I have a few micro niche sites as well but wanted to really build a solid business. You know, make it about how I can help others learn. I’m getting kind of tired of always researching new niches and building new sites. I’m ready for the meat of the matter!

Hi Adrienne, in one of your last comments on my blog you told me you wished you had met me when you first started.
Well… I wish I had met you when I first started!!! No kidding.
This is the all time fave post of the day. I have been looking forward to reading it all day as I have gone through a few of our blogging community.
I am speechless to be honest. Another thing that amazes me Adrienne is …. LOOK at your Alexa!! 27 posts … my goodness girl. You are an absolute rocker.
I am going to spend some time going through all your links… particularly the FB Fanpage. Can you believe I still haven’t had the guts to start one? It has been one of those things I have cringed at … don’t ask me why but it has instilled fear in my mind.
I am blown away… did I say that yet? If not… “I am blown away”… just so you get it.
I can’t wait to learn more about your journey and follow your advice.
As you know I am diversifying to implement a few affiliate products along with my business. I do like affiliate marketing… and I get what you said above to one of your commentators that researching and building niche sites IS a lot of work… however it is awesome once you get it down.
I’m so revved up right now I need a slap.
Great post!

Jayne Kopp recently posted..The Best Way to Make Money Online and a Wee Apology
Ah Jayne, if only huh!!! But hey, look where we are now right! We may not have even met earlier so at least we’ve had the opportunity and are friends now.
I didn’t have the guts to do a fan page either. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how the heck I was going to keep up with that one either. But here is what I learned. People who love Facebook and are your friends will support you. Also people who want to learn what you have to share will like your page. Your blog posts are so much easier to find. Just incorporate your posts to automatically post and you’re done. It’s really that easy.
I’m so flattered that you can actually learn something from me. Seriously!!! Promoting affiliate products is another great source of income, especially when you know the product is good and will benefit your prospect. Because people already know, like and trust you, they will stand up and pay attention to what you are sharing.
I’m so glad you are excited and you know that I’m here if you have any questions. Shoot away girl..
Enjoy your weekend and thanks again. You’ve just put me in an extra great mood now!

Hey Adrienne,

Hey Tosin,
Why thank you for that, I appreciate it! Persistence does pay off my friend. You just have to know what to do so now there are no excuses. I show everyone what to do, it’s up to them to do the work. Hey, if I can do this anyone can. That’s the point of this blog to begin with. I appreciate your input so thank you for that.
Adrienne,
You have the tenacity it takes. Look at all those questions; gosh. You know, sometimes we have to stop and appreciate the weight of all the questions we should be asking ourselves before we continue on.
Things on my end have been busy and the profits have been steadily on the rise. Site ranking has improved as has traffic but the old Alexa score in the U.S. sometimes does a funny dance. Such is life and you can’t base too much on that metric.
Lately I’ve been thinking about the future quite a bit more than normal. I’ve been giving it some deep thought so that I make quality decisions now.
Anyway, you’re living proof that real money can be earned online without the scams and gimmicks. Great credit to you for being a reputable example of what’s possible

Thinking about the future, oh that sounds familiar!
I have no doubt that whatever direction you choose to go, you will also have success. You just have that way about you, willing to help yet being honest with everyone with exactly what it takes to actually “make it”. I think we both help in our own ways of sharing with people that real money can be earned online if you are willing to put in the work and learn the “right way” to go about this.
Thank you for sharing that with me, I appreciate that. I can’t wait to hear just what you’ve been thinking! We’ll have to talk again soon.

Hey Joshua,
I admit, it is hard work and time consuming but it will get you well on the way to building a great following and business. I’ll be sure to pop over to your blog this week. Maybe I will learn something and stop having to call my brother every time I need something simple done.
I took notes and will be back later!! I take massive action and my traffic is sky rocketing, but the sales are not happening. I have my own book and my own coaching program.
Seriously thinking about starting another blog just to make money on. They say it can be done. Guess we’ll see! I already have the blog, but somehow messed up with the website/blog connection and am waiting on a reply as to how to fix it. Then I’m going to get to work on that and put affiliate links and the like on that blog!
Love reading your posts!

Tammy Matthews recently posted..Hide It Under A Bushel No! I’m Gonna Let It Shine!
Ah thanks Tammy, glad this post was helpful. This is exactly what I’ve been doing and it definitely works. Good to hear that your traffic is coming but a lot of people think okay, I’ve got the traffic so I’ll automatically make the sales. As you know from experience, this isn’t always the case is it!
I can give you some advice really quickly about how you can make some improvements to your blog if you are open. You need to put up an opt-in box and start capturing leads. You need to offer them some free information that will entice them into getting on your list. From there you continue to build a relationship with them through your newsletter or whatever else you care to offer and then only promote products to them that would be beneficial and geared toward your niche is. Just because people may not want your coaching service doesn’t mean you can’t help them in another way. There could be eBooks, reports, video tutorials, podcasts, something related to your specific niche that they may find helpful and beneficial if they feel they can’t afford your services or just may not be ready for them at this time. Make sense? Hope that helped…
Thank you for your comment and I love it when you stop by. I’ll see you again soon.

Hi Adrienne,
I work a lot at blogging, rather than internet marketing. I work hard to build back links and improve my rank. Next is the money making. It has been slow, I admit, but I hope for great things this year because I feel I have laid very solid foundations. I think too many people want to have it all straight away and spend too little time on the foundations of their business. I have shops offline and an ebay business selling physical products, but I guess I spend around 8 hours a day most days online, working.
Enjoy the journey.

mandy@learntoblog recently posted..Passionate Focused Thinking
Hey Mandy,
I’m like you, I enjoy blogging much more than just internet marketing. But I also teach internet marketing because it helps others learn how to get their blog out there and more visible.
I have seen you around a lot so your work is paying off. If I remember correctly, I believe I found you on Barry Wells’ blog and he’s someone I admire so I pay attention to people he thinks highly of, which is you.
It does take time to build things up and that also includes our reputation. That’s very important in this industry because people will ban you in a heartbeat if they don’t believe you are real or genuine in your efforts. But again, these things just take time and patience. But it will definitely pay off in the end.
Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it!

Great post. I like how you actually show your earnings as well.
I think that makes the post a little more legit. Great start so far.
Those are affiliate sales? I am working on that right now as well. It’s a tough go to get the money coming it but I am sure it will happen with time.
Just don’t know how you find soo much time to write all those posts and on 3 blogs! I don’t even have time to do it on one let alone 3.
Michael recently posted..How I Generate Blog Traffic – Part 2
Great to see you over here Michael.
I wanted to portray my honest journey of what it takes to build an affiliate marketing business so I share it all here. At the end of each month I show all my results and yes, those are my sales for my affiliate product. It’s work but it’s worth it.
I’m only writing each week on two blogs, this one and my main one. The other ones I have are for my affiliate products for different niches and I don’t write on those like I do these. But two is enough, thank you! I usually write my posts late at night after everything else has been done.
Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it!
Hi Adrienne, only take 5 months? Really? I’m a beginner in this field. I truly appreciate your step-by-step advice. I’ll apply it on my work. Thank you very much, Adrienne.

Hi Adrienne,
Thank you for laying out the steps in an informative, easy to understand fashion. I am going to implement a few steps I have neglected (FB FanPage) and hopefully increase revenue.
Thanks!

You are so welcome Sandi and I’m happy to hear that some of this information I’ve shared you have found helpful. I neglected my FB Fan Page as well but finally got that up. It is the best place on FB to really share with your friends more about your business and is acceptable. I don’t doubt that you will have great luck with that one.
I appreciate your comment and thank for stopping by.

You have done right.. my blog is just 3 months and I have posted regularly but recently my traffic dropped significantly and I don’t know what’s wrong as I didn’t make big changes.. What you suggestions?

As you can see, my traffic continues to increase even in month six so that has not been my problem. I haven’t been promoting my product as much which is where I have fallen down on the job. Was also discouraged with the direction my training community was going so it was a lot of things combined.
I wouldn’t know what to tell you about your site since I have no idea what you’ve been doing as far as promoting it. Writing consistently is just part of it, you still have to drive targeted traffic to your site and there are so many different ways you can accomplish that. I’ve gone over what I have done in earlier posts. Also, continue to provide your readers with valuable content and the rest will fall into place. Whatever you do, don’t give up.
I appreciate the comment and thanks for stopping by.
Hey Adrienne! I have just started with internet marketing and your post about creating a “real business” is truly inspirational for me. Thanks, Susane
Glad you found it helpful. Go back through the Archives and you’ll see some other posts that can help benefit you during this growth. If you have any questions, send me an email through the Contact Me page. I’ll be happy to help.
Regarding my business, my challenge is to really focus more and get more work done. I have the plan, the positive attitude and drive – but I need to really do much more…Any tips are welcome

Write out what you need to accomplish each day and start working on the one that’s the most important and will bring in money. If you have to, set a timer. Work for 50 minutes straight on that project and nothing else. Don’t answer the phone, email, get distracted on social media sites, nothing. When that time is up, take a 10 minute break and then start all over again. You’ll find you get more work done when you put all your attention on just one project at a time. Schedule your email and social networking sites into your day. If that’s what you want to do during that 10 min. break than that’s great. Those are my quick suggestions. Hope they help, they sure do for me.
Great information and thank you for sharing!
You are so very welcome and I hope you’ll put it to good use.
