Hi,

I started my affiliate website just a couple of weeks ago, and adding new content every day. Wanted to ask from the old sharks, how long did it take for you to get a first signups? I've already got decent number of impressions and clicks, but not a single sign-up yet.

Thanks for your attention!

For me it happened like this...

I want crazy adding content, coding a lot (because I went after progressive jackpots and decided to pull them in automatically), and then stopped about 4 months into it. Minor clicks, VERY minor $$ (not enough to get paid. Then I checked back about 2 months later (6 months into the whole process) and found that I had a big player. My first commission check was $600 and I was very happy with that. :)

That lit a fire under me... so, it was 6 months before I had an actual commissions check.

Yeah, I think about 6 months for me to start earning significantly too.
Can't remember 100%, but I think my first site went live in March 2006.
By the end of July just little dribs & drabs added up to about $500 total, but then in August I had my first BIG player and earned over $1,000 at Bet365 alone!
That spurred me on to do lots more work on my site, but it still took 4 more months to get another month over $1,000.
I didn't record sign-ups back then, so I don't know how long it took for them to start or how many I had.

For me, I worked on my first site night and day for about 3 months. Then I had to return to life when I got a regular job. I pretty much forgot about my affiliate site, checked back a few months later (when I was in desperate need of money) and saw I had a balance of 1100. Every friend I had told me at the time, 'Its a scam, you'll never see that money'.. Longest month of my life.. When that first commission payment hit my bank, I started working on it again non-stop, about 6 more months went by and I quit my 'day job', and its been my only source of income for the past 3 years.

I had the similar experience as the previous posters. You should see results of your work after 6 months. Of course, signups and first players could happen earlier, but after 6 months you can expect real results (With a little bit of luck, knowledge and lot of hard work)

Good luck. :emoticon-0148-yes:

Thanks for the great answer! When i had idea to start, then timeframe of around 6 months was in my mind to see some results (putting in daily good volume and hard work).

Also thanks for others for your replies.

Do not worry so much about what you earn, first try to get your pages to rank well in Google and thats can take some months. Better rankings then it will be better income :)

Do commercials for all casinos and not just world famous casinos.

Six months is a good time frame I think. Fighting through the doubts is defiantly the hardest part while you don't know what will happen. Unlike Online18Casino, I was unable to get another job while I was figuring this out so it was "get it right or starve" for me. Thus the 20 hours a day worth of work to learn how to build a site and how to do anything online really with zero promise of anything was all I had...

I would still do it again, but I would probably have a stroke trying. :D
