It Should Reassure New Webmasters, Your Earnings Will Grow

One thing that should help low earning webmasters feel better about their website is the assurance that if they keep working on it, their earnings will grow.  In fact, it is likely that new sites will experience exponential growth which will help their page earn profits in a short order.

So what is the biggest reason that a webpage’s profit grows?   Accumulation of content and links.  Problogger has a recent post about seeing his Amazon.com affiliate earnings grow with out understanding why, until he realized it was just due to general growth of his site.

The best thing a webmaster can do to grow his earnings is to simply grow his site.  As you grow your page by writing more and better pages you will quickly acquire a huge mass of content on your site.  This content will get increasing numbers of search engine hits and will display increasing numbers of ads.  Although at the beginning of a webpage’s life it may seem like it isn’t making any money at all, soon enough your site will hit a critical mass, and the profit from it will take off.

I have been asked before how long it generally takes a webpage to become profitable.  The answer is that you should give your site at least 6 months of work before you expect to see a decent profit from it.  Although it may seem excessive to work for 6 months before you get any money back, once you do start making a profit it will tend to continue without too much work for you.  However some webmasters never make it to the 6 month critical point.  They are willing to give their site a month of hard work, and once they don’t see returns they give up.

If you want to make money with your site, you have to be willing to stick with it.
