I've been working seriously for about 4 months on my business, which is in the Computer Science education space.
Apart from probably tangentially helping me to land a bit of work by providing authority in the eyes of prospective clients, I have yet to see much tangible progress.
I have written about 35 blog posts (Blog - Compucademy), put up some affiliate links, and put a couple of my own products up for sale. The strategy I have been advised to follow is "produce shed loads of content to build a mailing list which you can then use to sell you products." I have a sign-up pop-up and embedded sign-up form on every page, and when I write a new post I share it to several Facebook groups, on Twitter and on LinkedIn.
So far, I have had 2,141 site users for the last 90 days, had about 50 people sign up to my mailing list and sold just one product from my site.
Is this par for the course please? Is it cause for concern?
