One Month at Wealthy Affiliate!
One month mile mark is here! To say the least, the amount of things that I've learned during this time is no short of ridiculous!
The only thing that I knew, One month and One day ago(to be more precise) is that Affiliate Marketing was-You promote someone else s product, and if a customer clicks on your promotional link and they actually buy. You get some $.
That's not a lot of knowledge about that. You must agree!
Just to compare I'll make a list of things I did NOT know anything about and even NEVER heard of when I started.
Armed with just good will and undying persistence for prosperity and better tomorrow I ventured into the great unknown! Universe, the final frontier!
What the heck is this thing now?
- Wealthy Affiliate- luckily I came across Kyle's(not the owner) page that summed up everything important and clearly explained that this is a learning platform and AM tool for anyone just starting, and well worth the money!
- WordPress-NEVER HEARD OF!
- Traffic-I get stuck at it most of the days when going to work
- Content-Never written anything longer then a Facebook status
- SEO- Umm what does that stand for?
- Funnel-Sure, let's get that juice in the bottle
- Google-What to eat today?
- Google+-Something I had for as long as I have gmail and never entered to check it out
- Google Analytic-...
You get my point! An absolute newbie! That is fine you know. I love being a newbie it excites me, means there are new things to learn ahead and anything you want in life you need to get it from somewhere. It won't just fall from the sky!
Learn and learn and then learn some more but implement that learning and take action. I think that is the only thing that is never ever going to let anyone down. Someone, somewhere long time ago said knowledge is power, and with that one he/she hit the home run!
One Month Later.
- Ending my Course 2 training, got familiar and comfortable with the platform and its features( take your time and don't rush, soak the information slowly it will be of better use)
- I HAVE A WEBSITE! I know that's nothing that special these days, but a month and one day ago I did't think I'll ever have one. It didn't even cross my mind.
- I Know my way around WordPress and have basic knowledge about plugins, menus, widgets, themes, Some CSS and HTML ( This was like Chinese to me)
- SEO-I Understand now the principles of it, how to utilize it for you advantage and important conditions that you need to meet so G man likes you.
- Content Creation-I think I have written more words in the past month then I have in all off my life so far.
- About niches, what are they and I have realized that there are a monumental number of them where you can find great success in.
- Google-WOOOW who knew google has that many things going on! Analytics, Console, Optimize, Trends, Alerts, + , ....
- I've made not only Google+ but a Google + BRAND account! which took me quite a wile to find how to properly do, with linking few accounts to for management!
And I could just go on and on and on for another 3 or 4 hundred words!
I guess when ever I feel down or like i'm not really making any progress, (at the moment felling that is quite unlikely, but who knows) I'll revert to this post and read it, and it will get me back on track I am sure!
One advice i'd like to give to everyone is just be patient, find balance with everything you do, step by step and move forward ...and most important, HAVE FUN! :)
Thank You for reading!
Alex! :)
