The Four States of Every Blogger

The genius,


It would be a disservice for me not to offer the world my pearls of wisdom. I have got this blogging nailed. I don't need anything, no nothing, I am sorted, I was born with a pen in my hand.

I am in the zone

The Not so Sure; State

I don't know what I am doing state, which is closely related to this is never going to work for me stage, which can be induced by looking sideways too much.

State number three;

I need some training and knowledge to make this work, and there's got to be something or someone online that can help to show me the way state. I must be missing something. I usually do.

StateNumber four;

Hey, this is kind of cool, and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel state. I have to keep going.


There is a fifth, and by no means final stage, one morning you wake up and you just kind of know stuff. I am not sure when this happens, but it does. .When it does everything starts to fall into place, I guess a way to describe things is second nature.

Your onlinning becomes your second nature.

We will have all experienced that at some point in our lives. The same thing happens with online marketing. You could call it maturity or understanding.


An exciting time of the year.

This is a kind of weird time of the year that leads up to Christmas and the new year. It is always a time of reflection. Here in Wealthy Affiliate, we are leading up to the WA Black Friday promotion. Some will be waiting with huge anticipation to get in a great deal; for some, it will be business as usual, he says matter of factually.

For some, it will be that time of refection and fence-sitting.Will I, won't I renew! The decision-making process can be results based on observation. If you are going yearly for the first time, then best wishes to you, one of the best decisions you have made in a long time.

Renewing, then another good year awaits. If you are sitting on the fence, then make that decision and go for it sign on for another year.

You may be thinking, hey Alex; this doesn't work for me. I have given it my best shot and have fallen short of the mark. Why should I listen to you!

Well, I belong to this club, free to join, open to all comers. It is not that you have never thought of quitting; it is just that you carn't; there is a big difference. Because there is nowhere else for you to go.

You don't have to be the best. You just have to be the best you can be. And believe me, that is good enough. I went through this looping phase a while back. We are talking a year or two, one of those experiences that stays with you, somedays you are full-on and then some days you are not there. If I am honest, at times flying by was a struggle. Some of the things you read are diametrically opposed to your energy flow, is a diplomatic way of saying it.

One of the things that kept me going was the realization that I had achieved before, I am sure that everyone reading this will be able to relate. Just stick at it that little longer, it will come together for you.

Rejuvenating

I had one enjoyable day today, set up a new website, one that has been on the radar for some time. For fun. I revisited the training, and you guessed it worked through it step by step, just like in the beginning. It was empowering.

The big difference no overwhelms, just clockwork, as I said at some point you know stuff. The realization we have it all here, the platform, is designed to help us succeed if it doesn't work; it is down to user error. I would say that 99% of issues are down to user error. That may sound harsh, I look at the times and ways I have goofed off through the process and that is more than the national average, and the lack of can be laid at my door.


The thing is that Kyle and Carson want you to succeed; they have set in place all the ingredients; they care more than you think. The truth is that your fellow travelers want you to succeed.

I think in the mix we can lose sight of that, it is one of the unique aspects of WA. The whole gig of paying it forward establishes that tenant.

If in doubt, give yourself another year, six months at the very least, and then give it you're all for that time. That is all that it takes to change the situation. Your situation. Trust the processes here in WA they work. I wouldn't be saying that if I truly didn't believe it.

If you sign on make that commitment to your self, you owe it to your self to do this.

And the thing is you can even if you think you carn't you can. I know there are some sitting on that fence, part of the reason for writing this post. You may know of some in your network that are going of the boil.

Reach out.

Best wishs to all.


Alex Evans.

Thanks for writing this Alex! I think I go through these five states almost every time I sit down to write, haha. I do however like to spend more time in the first state.

Hi Ryan feeling comfortable in our writing skins is the prime place to be.

Something we can all grow into.

Writing can be a Rolla coaster.

Thanks for sharing.

Alex

Thank you Alex. I love those blogging stages. Thinking about annual membership & Black Friday, this cartoon came to mind. Steve

Absolutely love this cartoon! What a statement on the thoughts that go through our heads...thinking we have to judge ourselves by the success of others.

Thanks Steve!

It's a great thought starter, Ryan. Thanks. S

That is flipping awesome Steve, talk about 1000 words.

It projects it so aptly.

Thank you.

Alex

Well said, Ryan, or adding go off and try and copy others instead of following our own path.

Alex

Thanks Alex! Yes, exactly!
