1 Month Mark
You All Inspire Me!
Hey, everyone. I just wanted to post my 30 day mark, and share some of my goals with you. I did not know what to expect, so I made some goals that I actually exceeded in my first 30 days. When I started, I planned 90 days out in advance.
WA Networking
I wanted to network to 100 people per month, but I actually doubled that goal, by making 213 friends to learn from. I've changed my 60 day goal to 400 and 90 day goal to 600 now. I love this concept about learning from others in your network. I get to choose and pick which posts to read. Now, I'll be honest, I do not read everything. I do follow 3 people on everything they post though. Out of all the email notifications that I get, I probably read a little over a dozen a day. When I do read these posts, I learn a ton of information, from all the testimonials and most of the questions too. I learn from these questions on a daily basis, so I want to thank all of you contributing constant communications, which is keeping me informed.
Posting
My goal for posting new content to my site was 2 posts per week. To my surprise, I've actually ben able to do a few rich content posts a day. Not all the time though. For example, I'm working on an article now and it's taking more 8 days to complete it. I should be able to finish it today. So, in the first three weeks with WA, I was able to create two sites and a little over a dozen posts, which tripled my expectations. Some articles only took a short while to write. I noticed if you're passionate about something, your memory just comes out fluently, like it's meant to be shared with others. I never knew how much I loved to write about my thoughts until I came to WA to blog. I love it. Now, my goals are 3 posts per week, for the next 60 days.
Ranking
I was not sure about ranking, and I'm still learning about this field. My goal was to get at least 1 post indexed in my first 30 days, but all my posts are now indexed. To me, this was a surprise. I'm not sure what page they're considered though. Like I said, I have a lot to learn still. I guess it would be reasonable to say that I expect all my posts to be indexed, and to continue learning in this field of ranking. I'm sure if I keep constantly posting new rich content from low hanging fruit keywords, then I would be on the right track, but I would still like to understand how it all works though. It's just who I am.
Social Networking
As for social networking sites, I did create the same name for all sites. I was surprised that this happened too. I was expecting at least one of them to be different. I need to learn more in this field too, because I literally have no followers. I'm posting to them too. It's my first month, so I was not expecting to have a thousand in my first 30 days either. I never had an expectation until now. I would like to make a goal to have 20 followers by the 60 day mark, and maybe 50 followers by the 90 day mark.
Thank You
When I joined WA, I did not know what to expect. I was just a guy looking for ways to make some money. I knew it was not a get rich quick program. I knew I had to put the work into the program in order for it to work. I know I have to continue being consistent to see results. I'm not giving up. I'll continue to work the program. I'll continue to grow. I'll continue to share. I do want to mention again, "Thank you all", for helping me with the WA journey. I look forward to continue working with you all.

Awesome! I was able to save the new changes. Thank you for this information. It'll save me a ton of time clearing out email notifications. I had them all checked, but now I only have half of them checked. Thank you, Alex.

What I really like about your post came toward the end, you are realistic about your expectations in particular about things you can’t control, thus it has allowed to exceed your expectations over the things you can control, like learning, content, posts, networking.
I like this post a lot and it is full of gratitude together with strong work ethics.
Big, huge well done for far exceeding your 30 day goals. Long may that continue.... 👍
Thank you, CordeliaN. I appreciate the kind words.
