Something to wake up to
Hey everyone, this is my first blog post and I just wanted to share with you all my experience with Wealthy Affiliate so far.
Even though there are so many reasons that I like using this platform and being a part of the same community that we all love so much, my favorite one is probably one everyone here can relate to.
Before I found Wealthy Affiliate, I was (and still am) an English teacher in China. I like my job, but it's not what I am truly passionate about. My true passion is playing guitar and anything to do with music.
When I would wake up, all I would have to look forward to was coming home from a long day of teaching and playing my guitar, or sitting down to sketch something around my house. For me, guitar is my most prized hobby, but I never thought that I would be able to make guitar and music my future.
I always struggled to figure out what I wanted to do with my life. Sure I moved to Thailand on a whim to teach English, and have lived abroad for 3 years ever since. But I always felt that there was more to life.
Before finding this community, I didn't have much of an idea of what I wanted to do for the rest of my life, or what kind of lifestyle I wanted to live. It was a tough feeling to face head on. I would think about it every day, but would do nothing about it. I would constantly scoot on through each day just to make ends meet and come back to my guitar every day.
The amazing thing about Wealthy Affiliate, is that after finding the community and starting my website built around my passion (guitar), I finally have something that I am driven about work-wise. Each day when I wake up I think about my website and the training process.
I get excited just thinking about the next step and how I can make money online. I haven't had this feeling in a long time, if ever. I now have sometihng to look forward to when I wake up in terms of my career and bettering my life and future.
And the best part about it is that its a hell of a lot of fun. It's not even work to me because I am passionate about my niche. I am passinate about what I write content for, and I'm passionate about the mystery of the outcome of all of this.
That's another thing, I honestly have no idea if I will be able to make a suatainable living with my website, but that's the best part. It's the fact that I don't know that excites me. The idea that all of my hard work so far could crash and burn at any moment scares me, but the same fact that this could really take off and I could live the life I have always wanted to ignites a passion inside of me that I haven't felt since I picked up a guiar for the first time.
It's as if I have found the love of my life. And I'm not saying that I want to Wealthy Affiliate, but I am so thankful that just finding a link on the internet led me to wanting to chase this feeling that I now have. Its incredible.
I am sure everyone else feels the same way, and that is what I believe makes this community so great. Here we have a large number of people who all share the same goals and dreams, and are there to back up one another when the time gets tough.
Whether you are a beginner like me, or someone who has been doing this for years, we were or are at the same place in this whole deal. We share a common idea, and through that idea comes an indirect bond that allows all of this to work so well.
I just want to say thank you to Wealthy Affiliate and everything that they do in order to ignite the fire in myself and others alike. I also want to thank the community for being so supportive so far and helping me whenever I have questions.
I realize that I can't see the road in front of me, but I relish in the idea that this road can take me anywhere I want to go, and that is definitely something to wake up to every day.
Cheers,
Max Voorhees

Great post, Max!
Now, or in the future, you may want to think about re-writing this brilliant post. If you don't understand now, you will if you ever decide to get into doing the WA Bootcamp.
All the Wealthy Affiliate blogs have authority with the major search engines. Watch your "My Stats", and in particular "Clicks (Content). These clicks reflect the number of clicks your affiliate link gets clicked on your WA Blogs from organic search results!
Bearing in mind what I have said above, you should treat your WA Blog posts in the same way as you would with your website blog posts. Namely, an appropriate keyword(s) heading related to your content. The keyword(s) in the first or second paragraph. H3 tag section headings, keeping your sections to below 300 words. Your paragraph lengths are beautiful.
Building up an income writing hot WA Blog posts is feasible. Do that a couple of hundred times, and you'll be earning referral income without a website!
Piggyback on the Wealthy Affiliate's authority! Cool! That's half the work done for you.
PS. Don't forget, a few relevant images, including your focus keyword(s) or synonyms in the image Alt Texts.
These are awesome tips! I have not done the bootcamp series yet as I am still doing the first online certification course. Your words sure have aroused interest though. It would be cool to have multiple streams of income coming from more than one website.
Thanks for the help,
Max

Hi Max, wow that is a great post. I have been here for a little more than 9 months and your post inspired me. It renewed a feeling that I first had when I started here.
Your point about the unknown is spot on and so true. I look forward to more of your blogs here and also look forward to seeing your website. You will be able to add it to your profile at the bottom right side of your profile.
If you look at the profiles of people here you see their info on where else you may connect with them, outside of WA.
I wish you the best on your journey!

Thanks Bob and thank you for your kind words and tips. I can try to write more blog posts when I get the time.
