SEO at like 0 percent

Hello, My site gets like zero visits per month, even though it’s been indexed, has article titles, metadata and content seo optimized, and have spent some time submitting articles to other websites for backlinks. I would really like some momentum but it’s been like 7/8 months with almost no traffic at all. Any idea what I’m doing wrong?? So I have done what I believe is a bunch of SEO but have had zero results in 7 months even with consistent content posting. In case it matters the site is www.urbanwellnessguide.com The goal is just to have a free wellness website that gets a lot of visitors. Trying to build this brand so I can eventually sell products through it. Thank you.
