What An Awesome Summer!
Hi, my name is Angela. I work as an Educational Assistant from September to June, every year. So, most summers I am looking for things to occupy my time until school starts again.
This summer I decided to look into online businesses. The first business wanted me to purchase an expensive product in order to be able to promote it. Well, I wasn't big on the product and I did not want to spend thousands of dollars. So I scraped that idea!
The next company also wanted lots of money to get the information on how to set up an online business. Since I am technically "laid off" during the summer without pay, I was not looking to pay out tons of money. I was willing to put in the time but not thousands of dollars ( I just don't have that kind of cash).
I kept looking and came across this awesome opportunity here at WA. It only took me a few days to go Premium. I was so excited to get to work on the lessons and learn brand new things. I have never been involved in business, ever! During the past few weeks I have been working diligently and following the courses. I am hoping to get through the 5 courses before I return to work in September. I am about to start the third one.
I have really enjoyed learning all the techy stuff ( I am a little bit of a techy person ). I have done video editing and photo editing in the past. So, I knew I would likely catch on to that part of the process. Generating content was the thing I was a little nervous about. I really wondered if I could do it. Turns out, yes, I can. I won't tell you how long it took me to write the very first one though. It would be embarrassing....lol Each post after that, got a little faster. As I am assuming they will continue to do.
My plan for the rest of the summer is to get as far as I can into the courses. I am hoping to finish them. Then come September, when I return to full-time work, I intend to have a schedule that allows me to publish content at least once a week. I am hoping that will be sufficient. I have read that some people are producing far more than that per week so I hope my goal is not too low.
My longer term goal is to stick with WA, to work hard at it for 3-6 months and see what happens. I would absolutely love to see some results at some point. I know it's not a get-rich-quick plan and I know it takes work. I am thrilled and excited about my whole experience here. I look forward to the future and learning many new things.

Hi Angela- you really are off to a great start with really good goals to build a solid foundation and isn't the training superb.
I hope once you are back to work in September you will have time to write at least 2 articles every week as this will help with Google ranking and visitors to your site
I wish you every success and kind wishes

Happy for your awesome and productive summer. Keep going and before you know it, you're there.
For me, I work full time even on summers so it's kind of slow for me, a post a week, maybe 2 if lucky.
We're in the middle of a small renovation at home plus some campings and out of towns to enjoy summer, so, I'm just taking it one day at a time.
It's almost school time and you'll be busier. But you have started something and you will find time to keep it going.
Good luck!

Hi Marita,
Yes, school is just around the corner. I have been having a blast here at WA. Once, I return to full time work I know I will not be able to give my website as much time as I have during the summer months. I plan to do my best to generate content on a regular basis.
I am impressed that you can post up to two articles per week and work full time. That is great! I have noticed the process is a little quicker each time I create one though.
Have an awesome day!
Talk to you soon!
Angela
Two a week is an exception and it happened only once I think.
Lots in my plate right now, so time management is really a struggle.
Just being optimistic!
