I Must Apologise

Hi all my wonderful WA friends, this won't be a long post as I just wanted to apologise for my disappearance recently from our friendly community. I've really missed chatting and helping but have been having a rough time health wise.I've been a diabetic for most of my life but recently it all blew apart and has been a roller coaster. Most days I'm staggering to do an hour or two of work on my websites. So recently I employed someone to help while I get my sugar levels back to normal.I've focuse

A Simple Question?

Hi, my lovely community of entrepreneurs.I have a question and I don't even know how to research the answer here in WA because it's complicated. So I thought I would ask all you talented people and maybe someone will know.I've created a landing page on my website, not a post. But I want it to be the place people are sent when they Google my website. I've noticed I'm getting a lot of looks just to my website URL and it would be great if they saw my Wealthy Affiliate promo page when they do.So my

Keeping Perspective

Hi wonderful WA family,I feel like it's been so long since I blogged as well as doing a tutorial but I was thinking deeply this morning about my holiday with my mother last week.I'm certainly feeling refreshed (although I did post pre-prepared articles on my website every day.) After 2 + years of study and building my websites I decided I needed a head break and my mum is 84.As you can see from the picture she really enjoyed the carriage ride around the local wineries and this was a lovely plac

Time to Step Back as an Ambassador

As many as you know, I am thrilled to be an Ambassador and be there to answer questions on a daily basis. But what we do here at Wealthy Affiliate is not a game. I cannot believe how quickly we have jumped into 2022 and it's almost March. I've been reflecting on where I want to be this time next year and that has made me decide to step back as an Ambassador and put that time into writing more content for my websites.I'm sure my ranking will go up and down most weeks depending on my input here.T

Another $100 Commission

Hi my fabulous WA family,I just wanted to share this exciting moment as it's a confirmation of why I have been working so diligently for months now. Waking to a Paypal notification that more money is rolling into my account while I sleep is so exciting. This was for a Bluehost sale.It started me thinking about the concept of passive income and how it is misleading to think that we can ever make money by doing nothing (passive) unless it is an inheritance.Personally, I like being paid for the ef

Are You Made of the Right Stuff?

Hi, wonderful WAer family, I'm waxing philosophical today as I've found myself pondering on some of the blogs and comments that come across my computer daily.We all recognize and applaud someone who is successful (making money) but do we ever stop to think just what their journey was from where they started to that success?I've always enjoyed reading success stories and there is always a struggle. Which is fascinating when it isn't happening to you. He heBut success always comes from struggle.

Hi Fabulous WA family,Thank you to my over 3000 followers, I truly enjoy reaching out to you and becoming friends.I hope that you have lots of good plans in place for this new year ahead. Many of you have been working hard at your businesses now for a few years and I really applaud your persistence.It's one of the unsung skills to dig in day after day and just 'Do It!' We all come from an employee background and sometimes we almost miss having someone to tell us what we have to do (almost.)When

Reflections on my 60th Birthday

Good morning, evening my WA family!What an interesting time of my life. I looked in the mirror this morning (after breakfast in bed that my husband cooked) and thought who is that old woman? LolNo really, I'm totally comfortable with reaching 60. Gone is the young body and face but the thousands of special memories of a life well-lived are reflected in my smiling face.Through hard work and some design, I live in a comfortable old home with a nice view near the beach, shops, and amenities. Away

The Devil's in the Detail

As a newbie, sometimes we get so bogged down in all the information that we are learning here at Wealthy Affiliate that we forget that we need to put in place systems for ourselves.Every new trick you learn to build your business is something that you want to remember. Some of these tips you need to use each day on your posts. Perhaps it is doing SEO, or it's the way that you add Images or even how many internal and external links that you put in.Now that you are your own boss you need to devel
