Take Baby Steps on Your First Website

In the world we live in today, instant gratification (IG) seems to be the # 1 reason for people to get things done!

The downside is when you don't get the IG, your emotions can range from disappointment to anger. All because you 'didn't get what you want'.

So, here you are at one of the best platforms for showing you how to make money online, and yet, your expectations are to make money instantly.

Ha!

Even with a j-o-b, you still have to do the work before you get paid, right?

Same with online business, do the work and you will be paid, sometimes later rather than sooner. But then again, the niche you selected to blog about is a hit-or-miss scenario, that may or may not pay out...

Here at Wealthy Affiliate, we learn....LEARN....how to make money.

And it takes time to really learn it well enough to apply it.

We need to take Baby Steps and really understand what we are doing.

My martial arts instructor (Sensei) explained the rank system to me in this way.

Here you are on a breakneck pace to hurry up and finish your website so you can start making money, yet, you get discouraged because it doesn't look right, feel right, it's not perfect, etc.

Frustrating, isn't it?

To ease your frustration, I came up with a plan that helped me.

• First, break it down into smaller steps. Create quality not quantity.
• Focus on one page at a time. Here, we start our About page.
• Create an outline for each page/post for best continuity
• Write a rough draft first, then go back and edit. It doesn’t have to be perfect on the first try.
• Utilize tools like Grammarly for proofreading, Block editor from design and layout
• Once a page is done, review it and make any necessary adjustments before moving to the next.
• If possible, get feedback from someone else. A fresh set of eyes can catch things you might have missed. See Kyle's post: Website Feedback

Follow these steps and you'll have your pages completed before you know it.
