Four Months with WA. Progress Report

I have been with WA for 4 months and yesterday posted my 20 th post. I think Mercury may have something to do with it!! I have written almost 32,000 words which is coming onto the size of a small book I find it takes me a long time to research and then write an article in excess of 2,000 words. Someone says we all need to write at least 3 articles per week. Frankly, that is not possible in this case. I am very disturbed to see that ths is 97% more than other people on WA. This would suggest to me that only 3% of the Membership are truly active.. I have made Google number one at least three times and a couple of times with Bing and Yahoo, but have not made any money which of course is a large purpose of the exercise. I have not completed my training as I feel I need to focus on my writing and the research required to do my real work, and my ranking on WA has been steadily declining. It now reads 7731.The reason is due to non-participation in the so called "WA Family".

I think I have misunderstood a lot of what this is about. My goal was to write Blog posts on my chosen niche, it has never been to recruit other people to WA. It seems a lot of this is geared with that in mind.

I advertise my Posts on Social Media. Facebook seems quite good but I use Twitter and Linked In too. I don't understand Instagram nor Pininterest.. I look daily at Google Analytics and am disturbed to see how page views seem to be declining. I did do a two week ad campaign with Facebook which pushed the numbers up. Clearly an opt in page for the Posts would be useful and so would a landing page. A funnel costs money, I believe. This poses another question as I am already spending $49.00 per month with WA and getting no return. The question is do I spend more money in the hopes of getting a return or do I look elsewhere for something else?. I guess I have reached a plateau.
