I did it
I did it. I had a week to think about it. I had time to learn about the program. I couldn't find any reason not to, so I did it. I became a premium member today. I just took a leap into learning how to create and maintain my own web based business. The best part of all this is that I am not alone--I am surrounded by a whole community that has also taken the same leap. This community is willing to share their disappointments and triumphs. This willingness makes for a strong, unified community. I am so glad I am here. I am so glad I did it.
The Search is Over
Its taking me about 5 years to finally overcome my fears of starting an online business. I spent that entire time, searching for the right opportunity, I tried to stay away from the scam sites as much as I could. But I will admit, I did get duped by a few.
As a disabled vet, I wanted to have an opportunity to have a second income. Financially, things can get pretty tight on a fixed income
So anyway, I just took my time and kept searching. One day I just happened upon WA. After more than five years of searching, this was the first site that said "hey, check us out for free! So I did.
Now the search is over.
I was not disappointed, Everything I need is here, especially because I'm a newbie. WA is a community of like-minded people. Its a cultural of sharing that has been at times quite overwhelming for me. Anything I need to know I ask.
Now of course, I've only scratched the surface of all the information available. I learn new things everyday. In fact, as much as I'd like to generate an income right now, I know that all I have to do is to keep following the steps and I'll get there. I'm sure of it.
My goal is to generate $100 a day from my site, then add other sites. I'm sure that by that time I'll have a good grasp of things.
Eventually, I want to know enough to be able to help other people. That's really what this site is all about.
Thanks WA for such a wonderful opportunity.
My "6 Month" Results With Wealthy Affiliate
I've been with Wealthy Affiliate since 2013, but I didn't start work on my new blog until 20th January 2014.
Before I jump in to the results from my work, I just want to say that this is my 3rd attempt at blogging since I failed miserably over the last few years with the other two blogs.
One blog I quit working on because I lacked self belief and the second blog was with Empower Network, but I will let you figure out for yourself what happened with that one. (SCAM)... Cough Cough!
I think we all have to fail our way to success at some point, depending on how bad we want it. So, I refused to quit, started on blog number three and it's "3rd time lucky" this time round :)
It's not been an easy ride and there have been very tough times, but it's all part of the journey to success, don't you agree?
So here are my 6 month results...
My Blogging Results

Wealthy Affiliate Bootcamp Results
I'm also an affiliate of WA and here are the results for this year:

And all this is on top of commissions received from other various affiliate programs too.
After applying Kyles training and working hard, I'm extremely proud of myself at how far I've come. Not to mention all the help and support from "YOU" too, so a huge Thank You!
After seeing the results I'm getting from my efforts, I'm now more determined than ever to reach the "300" sales mark for Las Vegas 2015 and also my goal of Financial Freedom.
Through "Self Belief", "Hard Work" and "Determination", you too will achieve all of your goals. Keep plugging away at your online business and great things will come to you.
6 Years With WA...
I woke up this morning and checked my profile, I joined November 21, 2007... 6 years ago. What an exciting journey this has been...
I feel very lucky that I am in the place I am right now where I can spend so much quality time with my family and friends.
If somebody would have asked me 6 years ago...
Where do you see yourself in 6 years? What are you working with? Whom are you working for? How are your hours spend?
... my answers would have been:
Have my own business, being my own boss.
Working from home so that I can spend quality time with my kids.
Run a business that I can take with me, that will allow me to travel.
Decide my own salary meaning that I will not have a boss telling me what I am worth, telling me that this is the x amount of money I should be making...
With that in mind, I am living my dream :)
I put a lot of hours in and there are ups and downs but it is all worth it!
There has been a lot of changes in the internet marketing industry the last years. I thought that I would share with you what my last year looked like, what changes I have made...
Focus - If you have been doing affiliate marketing for some years you know that back in the day (we are talking 4 – 5 years ago :) ) working with small niche sites were very profitable. A lot has changed and today authority sites is the way to go. So for the last year I really put my focus on one site. I still dabbled with a few of the other sites I had set up but my main time, effort and focus went to this one site... and that turned out to pay off.
Stay focused on one project at the time. For some this means working with one or two sites... forever. For me this means I set up my site in this case I worked with it for about a year, now I feel that I have gotten the site to a place where I can be more hands off. I outsource my content, I outsource some of the videos I use for traffic and that frees up a lot of time... There is still a lot of work and maintenance that needs to be done with the site and the profit needs to be calculated :) but I feel ready to take on another project... project 2014...
Traffic – If you know me a little bit you know I have been a big fan of article marketing... That did change during 2013. I still use article marketing occasionally but it is not longer my main traffic source.
Submitting well written content on a regular basis to my site has been a major factor to getting traffic. Another one that has drawn a lot of visitors to my site is video. I have the past year both outsourced videos and doing my own screen cast videos. Submitting these well optimized videos on a regular basis has given me lots of first page Google listings.
Monetization – this site is an affiliate site. I took it one step further then most my competitors and I compared the products side by side so the visitor could pick and choose the product that suit them the best. I have NO selling what so ever. I provide them with information I don`t pitch a product because the commission is better I don`t pitch a product because the price is higher... I compare side by side and let them make the choice.
Did It Work?
The result and growth of this site month by month has been incredible. All I can say is I am so excited to see where this site will be in another year... or two...
Thank you Kyle and Carson for providing a great community. Thank you all for your support, knowledge, help and wisdom you all know who you are :) oh and Rich for always "challenging" me with or without flying monkeys.
Here are some more Wealthy Affiliate success Stories. These are real stories of the members who joined WA.

- Working from home so that I can spend quality time with my kids.
- Run a business that I can take with me, that will allow me to travel.
- Decide my own salary meaning that I will not have a boss telling me what I am worth, telling me that this is the x amount of money I should be making...
I put a lot of hours in and there are ups and downs but it is all worth it!
There has been a lot of changes in the internet marketing industry the last years. I thought that I would share with you what my last year looked like, what changes I have made...
Focus - If you have been doing affiliate marketing for some years you know that back in the day (we are talking 4 – 5 years ago :) ) working with small niche sites were very profitable. A lot has changed and today authority sites is the way to go. So for the last year I really put my focus on one site. I still dabbled with a few of the other sites I had set up but my main time, effort and focus went to this one site... and that turned out to pay off.
Stay focused on one project at the time. For some this means working with one or two sites... forever. For me this means I set up my site in this case I worked with it for about a year, now I feel that I have gotten the site to a place where I can be more hands off. I outsource my content, I outsource some of the videos I use for traffic and that frees up a lot of time... There is still a lot of work and maintenance that needs to be done with the site and the profit needs to be calculated :) but I feel ready to take on another project... project 2014...
Traffic – If you know me a little bit you know I have been a big fan of article marketing... That did change during 2013. I still use article marketing occasionally but it is not longer my main traffic source.
Submitting well written content on a regular basis to my site has been a major factor to getting traffic. Another one that has drawn a lot of visitors to my site is video. I have the past year both outsourced videos and doing my own screen cast videos. Submitting these well optimized videos on a regular basis has given me lots of first page Google listings.
Monetization – this site is an affiliate site. I took it one step further then most my competitors and I compared the products side by side so the visitor could pick and choose the product that suit them the best. I have NO selling what so ever. I provide them with information I don`t pitch a product because the commission is better I don`t pitch a product because the price is higher... I compare side by side and let them make the choice.
Did It Work?
The result and growth of this site month by month has been incredible. All I can say is I am so excited to see where this site will be in another year... or two...
