Well almost lol

So I finally launched my website that I've been working on for the past 4 months. My other account was under a hotmail account, so I had to make a new one.

This was my post back in November: https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/co...keep-crawling-into-my-head.64094/#post-501501

This whole journey has been a roller-coaster of emotions, and this is NOT easy but I know it's possible.
I really wanted to thank you all for your encouraging words and advice.

I was promoting my website and people started Shouting it out and I was getting messages like, "Man this will help a lot of people!". Also, some people(people who I considered my friends) were like, "Bruh, what if nobody F*cks with it? Why would tell people about it?" Yea man its really true, see who your friends really are once you start a business.

My journey on the Fastlane is only just beginning, but at least I buckled my seatbelt!

Congrats man, hopefully it keeps growing. I started my app business 4 months ago and even though its making small amounts of money still, seeing it grow feels way more fulfilling than when I was making $34/hour.

Is your traffic paid or organic?

Congrats man, everything has a beginning. And one buck is just the beginning. (Just think, Facebook started with ONE LINE of code!)

seeing it grow feels way more fulfilling than when I was making $34/hour.

I remember when I was just getting started, was probably making a high four-figures a month, not a lot, but plenty to live comfortably; I told a friend that I could be offered a job at $1M/year back in Chicago and I would have declined. I don't think people fully realize how much freedom is valued until they actually experience it.

I'm spreading the word and making it better everyday.

Is your traffic paid or organic?

It's all organic. Would paid traffic be a good idea?

I'm probably not the best person to ask about that, but I know some people are way more successful using paid traffic. You have to take into account how much it costs you to advertise and what you could expect to make from that traffic

Hi!

First of all I would like to say: Congratulations!

I also would like to aks if you coded your page by yourself from the very beginnig or used some kind of ready CMS and edited it?

Finally aren't you afraid of being sued when you refuse to remove negative review?

Congrats brother. Word of advice, set up your email newsletter if all of your traffic is organic. Reason being is to improve your customers long term value. What happens with organic search is, google tends to shuffle the S.E.R.P.s occasionally. One day you can be on page one for a specific keyword and the next you can be on page 2. Page 2 is very bad if you're relying solely on organic search for traffic. When you build your email list, you'll build an asset.

Focus on paid ads if you can. That way, google can't take it away from you!

Congrats bud. Keep pushing forward and turn that $1 in to $100 next month.
