Before anyone gets upset that they didn't have a shot at the title - there is no officially sanctioned triple crown category here at WA. It's more of a fun way to self motivate, create a little solo competition as it were. However, if there were such a category for newbs this is the criteria I'd use.
Build A Following
My first category for the Wealthy Affiliate Triple Crown is a following. My official number is 500 of which I'm about 68 short. The reason I picked this number is for the Daytona 500. It's a nice round number, certainly not any type of record at WA (kyle is over 19,000) but it's an indication of the amount of time I've been dedicating to being in and around the environment.
Make Your First $$$
Category number two is the elusive 'First Sale". I've yet to attain that statistic as well. I have the feeling that I'm not far off. I have good quality content and a good % of new visitors at my sites but not a huge amount of traffic which is my next target. I've dedicated a plan of action for article writing to get my backlinking and my name brand recognition. My initial goal was not 'about the money' but more about trying to learn this business and get established. The first sale benchmark is more about achieving success in learning what it takes to make money rather than the actual dollar amount.
Get First Page Google Rankings
And last but not least, the third category in the Wealthy Affiliate Triple Crown is a first page Google ranking. This also is a benchmark in the training process here at WA. Achieving that result proves two things; first that the training is definitely here to reach your objective; and second that I successfully followed the training. My first page results were both on the same day!
Anyone Can Do It
I'm proud of my accomplishments but when I reach my Wealthy Affiliiate Triple Crown, I'll have to set new goals to keep me motivated. Everyone has a different strategy of how to achieve their goals but the point is to have a plan, follow it, and make it fun and attainable.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
