Hi AJ
Welcome to WA. Thank you for following me. I'm following you, too.

I'm originally from Boston and lived in a city named Medford. I believe that's how you got Medford, Oregon.

Have you ever been to Northeastern US? New England area? Much more charm than Pacific Northwest, lol.
Portland area much like my home state.

PS. I lived in the Memphis area for seven years. Tennessee is a beautiful state.

Looks to me like you already have your Niche locked down.

Awesome, some of the largest markets online are in the Making money online niches and Leadership.

So you would have a lot of value to bring to the marketplace

Great to meet you and thanks for adding me to your network have done the same.

Welcome to the WA Community and platform and will look forward to your success

BTW

Never get stuck in the mud, if you do reach out for help its all about keeping up with the momentum.

Cheers

Hi AJ, Welcome to the Wealthy Affiliate platform.. I am sure you will enjoy your journey here with us. The education and training is second to none and the walk through videos that Kyle presents are clear and concise. There is also a live webinar every Friday night (canadian time) with out trainer in Jay Neill (rank 3) and there are questions and answers that come in from the community and Jay himself answers questions at the end of the 1 hour session. If there is anything I can do to help you please feel free to contact me and I will do all I can to assist you to achieve your goals. Just an aside - that is a drastic move - Tennessee to Oregon - where in Oregon are you moving to... I lived in Tide River for a couple of months - right near a river - was simply beautiful

Hi, AJ, nice to meet you and thanks for adding me to your network. I'm happy to add you to mine as well.

I also want to extend a BIG WELCOME TO WA and I hope you are enjoying all that is offered here. You're in the right place to make your goals come true.

All the best as you continue this journey and I look forward to connecting from time to time.

Moving Forward,

P.S. Oregon, that's only a few hours south of where I live. Hope your move goes well.

Hello and welcome to Premium. This website is full of wonderful helpers and I have learnt to always use the search tab at the top of the desktop, the answer is usually in someone's free training. Type in topic, rather than long question.
There is an answer to just about every question, all you need to do is ask..
Aside from the Certification and Bootcamp courses, there is heaps of extra training. Check out the training classrooms as well as the live events. There are current as well as past events in here. You can find both these tabs on the left-hand side
Start playing with tabs and boxes on your dashboard, there is so much hidden information, just keep looking for it.
Enjoy Wealthy Affiliate. There are lots of people here only to happy to help you along the way with encouragement and helpful tips. Wealthy Affiliate is about training, but that is just a small part of this wonderful community. If you participate as well as train, you will gain so much more.
cheers

Welcome to WA and Premium;

You will find at WA a huge amount of information that it is almost overwhelming. Sometimes the first impression is to think, "I can't do this!"

But you can! The great thing about this site is there is step-by-step information about how to go from zero to having a wonderful website which you can monetize into a wealth-producing asset you could sell or pass on to your kids.

There is also a wonderful community here that can help you to really accomplish great things.

We are not in competition here either so there are always great people ready, willing, and able to help if you get stuck.

Many other "opportunities" and certainly scams out there would have everybody promoting the same thing so you are in competition with everyone else! - Not nice.

I am hopeful you will seriously give this a serious try and I am sure you will be pleased with the results.

Dave.

Hi AJ and welcome!
Thanks for the follow, I’ve returned the favor.
This is a wonderful community of people who help each other achieve success.
Don’t be afraid to ask questions, you will always get the answer you need.
Good luck with your move.
All the best,
KyleAnn

Hi, AJ.
Paul Mindra here from Ontario, Canada.

Thank you for inviting me to be a part of your network. I graciously accept by following you back.

Welcome to the Wealthy Affiliate Community.

I am very pleased to make your acquaintance and look forward
to learning, sharing, serving and earning alongside with you as we all move forward here.

Kindest regards from Canada.

Paul.

Hi, AJ.

Thanks for following me and joining my network; I've returned the compliment and followed you back.

Welcome to Wealthy Affiliate. WA is a great community. In addition to the online discussions and articles that member's post, the official training is fantastic. There is so much to learn. I am here most days. I learn something new every day.

I've been a Premium member of Wealthy Affiliate over 18 months now, and I don't regret one day!

I'm a business analyst myself, in my day JOB.

Keep moving ahead. However your day may be, take a little step forward. Some days you'll make significant strikes, other days you will not, but do something every day, however small in building your business.

You will read many stories of WA members succeeding with their online goals. Some have achieved this in a few months, for others, it has taken a couple of years. The common theme for those that have reached their goals is taking action. Everyone who has succeeded has taken small steps every day. Do something, however tiny, every day, and you will reach your goal.

Pace yourself and enjoy your journey.

Best wishes,
Paul.
Be Happy!

Hello and welcome to WA Premium!! You will not regret your decision to go Premium!! The information available here is never ending!! And the training is incredible, and you won’t find anything like it, anywhere else!! Take it ALL in!!

Follow the training! I cannot stress this enough. Do not skip around. Do the lessons in the order in which they are. As well as the tasks that follow each of those lessons. I often jumped ahead in training, on my own, to only later really regret it. Take my word for it, it’s not worth it.

Go at your pace. Slow and steady is my new rule. You'll find you can't wait to learn more in the following days. You’ll want to learn more!! It ignites a new passion within you. It did me! Gave me back my purpose for living! There were a few lessons that I had to watch twice. If that's what you have to do, do it!

And soon you will have yourself an awesome website. Amazing direction, and the tools that you need to succeed in whatever it is you want to do!

You CAN do this!!

Be awesome! Be amazing!! And be successful!!!
Laura

My Name Is Ray gbu and you're family and welcome to the team I pray that you take advantage of the great opportunity that is offered here at WA, and remember it is totally up to you to make this work for you and you're family. Fact is they offer some great training here at WA and you get to put it into practice while learning it. Well best blessing to you and you're family.

Just a quick update...

I just completed my first article, not including the About Me page, of course. I would love to get everyone's opinion on the new site and my first article (link on the right below).

When I did the keyword research, my QSR was a tad high over what is recommended, coming in at 136, but I went ahead with it anyway because the AVG was extremely high at 9369, and more importantly, I felt a "What is..." article simply made the most sense for what I am trying to accomplish.

BTW, I'm still in the building phase, so I already know I don't have an opt-in--haven't reached that lesson yet. :-)

Cheers.

AJ

Hello AJ and Welcome To Wealthy Affiliate.

Since you joined you may well have come to the conclusion that internet marketing is a steep learning curve.

You must keep referring to the training (it does get updated from time to time).

If you get really stuck on anything then can I suggest you browse some of the 460 blogs I have published within WA.

Feel free to send me a message anytime you get stuck and I will endeavour to point you in the right direction.

You have decided to follow me and I will follow you as well.
Have a great day.
Robert

All the best to you,

mitch

Thanks for the following AJ!

Hello AJ,

I think you are going to find out quickly that WA will hope teach you everything you need to know to achieve your goals you have mapped out for yourself on your profile page. The only thing left is for you to take action LOL. I’d like to be one of the many members here at WA to congratulate you, on making what I believe to be an excellent choice toward a sustainable profitable website for securing your financial freedom in the near future, and that was upgrading to premium here on the WA platform.

I hope your stay here is long and very lucrative. I believe in leading by example although my back ground is not affiliate marketing directly, I have been involved in organic SEO marketing (that’s what is taught here) for over 15 years. So, if you ever need any additional help please don’t hesitate to ask I will be more than happy to answer any questions through PM’s that you may have.

I think you are going to see there is plenty of training on this platform rest assured it can seem overwhelming at times, but just work at your own pace, and go through it one step at a time: you’ll do just fine. Here are some locations that you can find addition training besides the two training modules:

1. Straight above in the black WA tool bar (the gray box just right of the WA icon) is a “Search Box” that has a cornucopia of information anything A-Z about online entrepreneurship, website design, and other aspects relevant to your new online business. You can find all that information and so much more hidden in that gem.

2. “Live Events” tab on the left – here you will find Jay’s weekly Webinar advanced training they are held on Friday evening 8 pm US Pacific Standard Time is when the live events happens or you can wait about 12 hours then (under the same tab) the recorded version will be available to watch.

3. “Live Chat” tab on the left side - if you cannot find your answer in any of the platform’s resources you can always ask in the member’s 24/7 “Live Chat” (please remember these members just like you).

4. “Help Center” - Issues with billing problems or membership inquiries should be addressed under this tab. This is where you will submit any ticket for site support also. Here you will also locate your premium coaches Carson, Kyle, and your referral affiliate.


WA is a “NO SPAM ZONE”, they consider posting your Domain name/URL/Social Media links/links to your own blogs/logo/company name without being asked to do so, as “self-promoting or spam” here, and this action is not allowed anywhere on the platform. Here is a link the Kyle’s posted copy of the WA rules: Spam is a NO NO! There are a couple of spots that you are allowed to openly post your Domain name or URL (but no logo’s or company names are to be posted anywhere on this site) on the lower far right of your profile page there is a spot just for them (not in the profile introduction itself) you can also post your social media links there on the lower right area as well, and then for your URLs there are 2 platforms which can be found by clicking the websites tab on the WA home page and they are site feedback, and site comment.

What most members do is put all there personal links in the lower right hand corner of their profile page then when you ask someone to look at your site they will know right where to go to find the link as long as you are both following each other.

Once again Welcome to this wonderful community!

Affiliate marketing is our priority: where content is KING and consistency is the KEY to your SUCCESS

If you’re looking for some more advice for the newer members, I recommend you check out my blog about golden eggs the link is located on my profile page. I think you'll find it to offer a wise list of things to concentrate on in your journey toward your success.

Helping you, achieve your success,

Calvin

Hi AJTrimble1! Congratulations on your decision to upgrade your WA membership to premium status. I did the same about a month ago and I can truly say that I have no regrets. I came to WA as a complete "newbie" with no idea as to how to create a website. Since that time I have been able to create a site and actually have it ranked by Google! Trust me, if I can di this, then I know you can as well. There is much to learn but there is always someone there to help you out then you get stuck. The support you get is great and there are many WA affiliates waiting to help you. I wish you much success in your endeavors here with WA!

Welcome to premium, this is such a wise move on your part. 
Let me tell you why; 

1) you have just taken a huge step towards securing the future you want.
2) There is no better training available 
3) The community here ROCKS, but you already know that 
4) It shows just how serious you are about making a change The Prize Keep up the great work, so glad you found WA

Blessings ~ Frank & Tina (free4life)

Hi Aj! .. Welcome to Wealthy Affiliate Premium! .. 😊

Joe

Congratulations on making the move to premium. There are many talented and helpful mentors for us here. Good luck progressing quickly toward your goals.
Joe

I hope things are going well. I know you are getting rolling within the training and there is ONE thing that always tends to confuse people and that is "what is my niche?".

I know, same thing happened to me when I started.

I just wanted to reach out and let you know that I am here if you ever want to run any niche "ideas" by me or you have any questions about finding your niche.

Get back to me when you get the chance! :)
