It takes a while to grow a website, and it won’t make any money in the beginning.” — This is what my readers say when I ask them about reasons for not launching a website.

They seem excited and willing to work on their websites, but they are afraid of uncertainty.

Even the most experienced professionals won’t tell you how much time it takes to grow a niche website.

Based on my experience, it takes at least six months for content to rank on Google and attract first visitors. However, it depends on your niche and efforts.

Beginner bloggers get thrilled when their content attracts users from organic search. However, they forget the primary purpose of business blogging:

Your content should help you earn money online. Blogging for traffic is a wrong strategy that will only drain your energy.

I learned this powerful statement from Tim Soulo, Ahrefs CMO, who well-pointed that your blog should be a customer acquisition channel, not a traffic generation channel.

If you keep this statement in mind while growing your blog and apply the monetization strategies that work, your niche website will start paying off.
