My Progress with Boot Camp
My progress with Boot Camp? I was not too fond of anything to do with English and writing in school. In College, many of the courses dealt with writing, and of course, I had to take English and improve my writing skills. For the field, I was going in. I'm back to writing again, and I'm rusty at it. Therefore, I can honestly state, "it is a challenge, and you can't write fictional stories for my post." On the other hand, though I'm rusty, a challenge and rewarding at the same time.
What I Enjoy:
I'm enjoying the learning process and the help from the people within the WA community. Everything is a complete learning process, and I get impatient with myself. I have to take a breather and implement self-control.
What are some of the difficulties:
I find problematic in implantations of terms, such as Linking. I understand how to link to the outbound website, especially with products. However, the subject of internal linking has me completely confused. I know the process of adding posts and organizing them in the menu section, but the internal linking on the posting page is the real problem. I'm using Yoast to help optimize the pages for google, yahoo, and bing. Even in their categories, it states to add at least one internal link for better ranking in google. Presently, I'm at a stand-still with internal linking.
What is my look forward to with WA?
Firstly, my purpose is to sell products from companies to make extra income and hopefully be successful. Now, it's my focus to conquer the challenges laid out here by building a website that will generate attention and traffic. Secondly, become proficient in writing and not get burnt out. I was learning and improving on techniques so that I could help others who are experiencing what I have already had. Furthermore, this would be a great benefit in helping others and finally. I want to build a successful Affiliate Marketing website to sell other companies' products and make that recurring income monthly. Consequently, this will enable me to take care of my family and have the extra income to care for personal business.
Now I have completed another assignment on Boot Camp; so far, I have posted four on boot camp and eight on my other site. Moving forward to the next lesson!!

Internal linking seems difficult when we are starting out because we do not have content that is relevant to link back to.
Once we get more posts written then there will be opportunities to link these posts back to each other.
I have gone back through articles this way and have found opportunities for linking that did not exist when they were written.
That is done exactly the same way you would link an external post.
Simply open the post you want to link to in a different browser window and highlight the URL of that post. Then use it for the internal link, just like you would if it was external.
Do not worry too much about internal links until you have numerous articles that you can link back to.....

I will take notes, and I have already learned from each one of you; nice to know everyone is following the same training, and I'm so grateful for your help.

I have to get more posts done to do the internal links, and I'm better at understanding it. Thank you for taking the time to drop me a note.
Hi Alma31,
It's nice to meet you. Internal linking is linking posts within your website. Internal linking goes in 2 directions, outbound internal links, and inbound internal links.
If you only have 1 post you won't have anything to link to that post as that is the only post you have. However, once you get a few more posts look for another post that discusses something similar to link to.
For example, if your niche is dogs and you are writing about dog training methods, and you have another post that mentions how important it is to have a well-trained dog, You could internally link each of these 2 posts together.
I hope this helps, please let me know if you have any questions.
