My Journey with Wealthy Affiliate started exactly 6 weeks ago today and prior to that I had never had anything to do with affiliate marketing or anything else to do with building an online business.

For those that have gotten to know me over the past 6 weeks will also know that I have openly admitted I am a tech numpty (Dummie) and never In my wildest of dreams did I ever think I would have been able to build out a website.

Bragging - Its Not Me

Over the years I have had a lot of sucess both in my time with the Australian Military forces and in the water as a surfer and have never blown my own trumpet regarding those accomplishments and never will unless asked of course.

I also played our Australian game of AFL (Australian Rules Football) at a very high level and represented Australia as a junior boxer, again all under the radar and only spoken about if asked.

So where am I heading with all this?

46 Articles - 65,000 Words

If someone here had told me that first day that I introduced myself, in what I think is one of the most powerful tools in the Wealthy Affiliate program, the chat, that in exactly 6 weeks I will have written 46 articles containing 65,000 words I would have thought I have finally met someone as crazy as me!

However, looking at my dashboard today that is exactly what I have achieved!

Thinking about that, I wouldnt have written that many words from the day I left school 42 years ago until the day I joined Wealthy Affiliate, and the even crazier part is I have actually really enjoyed it.

If Bragging Isnt Me Then Why Write This?

For me it will hopefully help those who are still thinking is this really achieveable for me.

I am what they call a two finger typer, so my WPM (Words Per Minute... Learnt that on the internet today lol) is at the very low end of the typists scale!

But I havent let this stop me from putting in to practice what I have learned through the training and from the many helpful people here at WA.

To give yourself the best chance to succeed in this industry you will need to create content, content and more content.

So if you are like me and struggle to type as quickly as the ideas come to your head, or you are a tech numpty or you have read somewhere that you can make money a whole lot quicker their way, trust me if I can do this within 6 weeks then anyone can.

A struggle is only a struggle if thats what you think it is, I have always used the word challenge over struggle, because for me I have always loved a good challenge and this is what I have found here.

I have challenged myself everyday to write more and more words to deliver more and more content, and to make every article of a better quality than the last.

I know that I still have a lot to learn and a whole lot more writing to do before I hit another of my goals which is to earn money from this, but as the old saying goes "Rome Wasnt Built In A Day" and that is the exact model I associate with my Wealthy Affiliate journey.

Stay strong, stay focused and you will succed.

Hey that's wonderful man and encouraging, and I have found an answer to my problem, I have been struggling to write contents, but I know now that its because I have been thinking to myself that I struggle to write, and that I am not good at writing. From now on I 'm going to make it a challenge to write my contents. Thanks man, that was very helpful.
