Week 2 Progress

I just finished Course 2 and my final assignment is to do this Blog.

I can't believe how much progress I've made in a short time (2 weeks tomorrow). I knew nothing about building a website or affiliate marketing before I got here. Next to nothing about marketing. What I did know? That I had desire. Desire to share my experience and lessons learned with others who may be just starting the journey I survived. I jumped in with both feet (even though I can't swim!).

I'm not afraid to try new things and WA makes it so easy. And the people are unbelievable too. (See Carla, I can use it the right way! lol) I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks. (But almost 42 is not old, right?)

Now I have built a website, my baby. (Hmmm, I always said I would never have any more kids. One was enough. Go figure.) Sometimes I can't contain my excitement. I have 12 blog posts, 31 pages (granted, a few are just headers), and 13 comments!

Check me out: http://mosm.siterubix.com/

I have three affiliates besides WA. My Amazon has gotten 5 clicks in the week since I opened the account. WA stats: 15 clicks today and 36 for the month! And those are unique clicks, not raw. (I just learned the difference today.) If you don't know, here's the link that explains it: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/getting-started/what-are-raw-and-unique-clicks

I don't even care (yet) that I haven't made any money, I'm excited about the clicks!

My 3 month goal is to be able to buy my own domain and in 6 months I hope to have at least one sale, I don't care if it's only $1.

Thanks for taking the time to read my story.

Angela

Hello Angela, Very nice post.Great job done by you again.Ken

2

Well Angela, I've got 2 weeks on you. I remember when you started, and now you've left me in the dust. I say "Congratulations! and Full Speed Ahead".
You may want to consider aiming your goals I little bit higher. Mine smoke yours. ;^)

2

I'm sure we'll plateau somewhere together :)
I have a lot more free time than most people though. I'm home all day with my grand kids. Right now I'm typing while Nyla (3 yr old) is watching Gnomeo & Juliet and Cornell(2 yr old) is crying his head off because he's mad I won't let him type too. lol Such is my life but I love it (most of the time - HA).
I do have higher goals but I don't really consider them goals. They are possibilities that I will still be okay if they don't happen.
After 42 years (almost), I have learned I don't need a lot to be happy. matter of fact, I have gotten rid of a lot.
But we are all different and together we make a great family!

1

Now that's just nasty, rubbing my nose in it, tell me you're beating me like a rug while you've got little kids hanging all over you.
Young lady, you have a real mean streak in you. I predict that you'll do very well. 8^)

2

lol, well that's what my daughter says too. Only she says I'm bitchy. ;-P
I think we will all do well. We have the tools and a great support family.
I can't wait to get on her every day and see who I can help and who can help me. :)

Oh and by the way Phil, this coming Sunday will be FOUR weeks since I've had a cigarette!

1

Wow, that's great! Now here in NYC, one pack of cigarettes would buy you your very own Domain Name.
May I ask how were you able to stop?
Are you a Happy Non-Smoker, or do you feel like you gave up something?

2

The same here just about. I used to smoke Newports but with not working and someone else paying, I had to go to a cheap brand.
I stopped by taking Chantix. I didn't have any of the side effects. I have heard a lot of people say they had nightmares. But then, I never remember my dreams anyway. Rarely anyway.
I guess I'm of a mixed feeling but more happy than not. I smoked for 20 years. I liked it. But I can't afford it any more. Now I have health problems to consider to - degenerative disc, diabetes and whatever else my doctor comes up with next lol.

1

I used to have nightmares about touching a cigarette ever again. You couldn't pay me enough to ever touch one. Good luck.

I like the picture. She's gorgeous. Keep up the good work.

Thanks!

2

Awesome Angela!!! I'm just as excited as that little girl in that picture for you!! You already know I'm a fan of your website!! You Go Girl!!!!

Thanks Jim!

Hi Angela, I took a look at your site and left a comment for you! Great job!
Ki,

Wow! Your site is awesome Angela! I think you are going to have great success! You are offering so many pages of advice, humor, product reviews, and other things that single mothers need and want. Wow again! I am very impressed! I may be looking to you for some inspiration!

2

Thanks. Sometimes I feel it was too easy and maybe I'm missing something. I just have so much I want to share. I have even more pages I'd like to add like legal advice for custody, visitation and child support issues. I may have to branch to a new site but don't want to if I don't have to. My whole idea was to have ONE place to go for information. If I don't have the right stuff, I'll at least give you a direct link and save you time. Single moms and new moms don't have a lot of free time.

I understand that as I was a single mother for six years. I went to college and worked during those years and it was very hard to get help. I work with single mothers and their children and I try to provide as many resources as possible. I will be adding your site to the list of resources I offer. You have really done a great job! Don't doubt yourself. Maybe make a list of all the topics you want to talk about and then add them one at a time to your site. I always feel better addressing one topic completely and then moving to the next item on the list. It helps when I get overwhelmed with having so much to say. You've got this girl!

Great progress, keep the train rolling! Love the photo!

2

Thanks, I felt it was my inner child who finally came out lol.

2

Glad for you and continue, you're on the right way.

2

Thanks. Feels like it's the right way!

1

Good for you! I am excited for you! :)

2

Sometimes I feel like I can't contain it lol. My daughter probably thinks I'm crazy...well crazier than she all ready thought I was.

2

WOOT! You are doing fabulously, Angela!

2

Thanks. I have to pinch myself sometimes lol.
