Introduction
Hey guys,
I can’t believe how fast this year has gone by.
It has been 4 months since I first started working on this project.
Even though traffic continues to climb, I am already looking at producing content for another site I have purchased.
I have published a decent amount of content over the past couple of months.
With that being said, I still feel like I could be producing more to reach my goals faster.
Here is the breakdown of traffic, revenue, and content for the month of October.
Overview
| Month | Words Published | Sessions | Affiliate Earnings |

Conclusion
I still don’t expect to make much money until display ads are placed on the website.
Here is a graph illustrating the growth of the website with an exponential trendline placed over it.
If this trend is accurate then we could be seeing 30,000 sessions by the end of next month.
I should mention that November might be a slow month for me as my partner and I are planning on doing another project involving e-commerce for a bit of fun.
Thank you for checking out this months case study!
