Done With Course 2-Yay!
I just got done with Course 2 Certification, which I am very excited about.
It was somewhere during Lesson 9 that I decided I was going to write a blog post documenting my progress and journey so far. Wouldn't you know it, that's exactly what the assignment for Lesson 10 was. Go figure!
My niche is anything dog-related (is that too broad?). Most of you know I am a huge dog lover and have had dogs my whole life, so I feel I can always come up with content to write about.
My site is livethedoglife.com. Feel free to comment and/or give any sort of feedback regarding site layout, content.....anything really.
I have had lots of questions, and I searched frequently for previous post/questions regarding the information I was looking for. I was pleasantly surprised to find most of the time there was a wealth of information on the very topic I needed, usually accompanied by an excellent tutorial by Kyle or some other awesome person.
The few times I couldn't find what I needed, I posted the question myself. And my wonderful followers were quick to project their knowledge and expertise onto me, for which I will always be grateful.
I am excited to start Course 3, which I believe has to do with monetizing your website. What's to not be exciting about that?!?!
While I was doing Course 1 and deciding whether or not to become a Premium WA member, I saw that there was of course the regular Course Certification, but also the Affiliate Bootcamp. I did Course 1 for both of those, but stopped after that for the Bootcamp. I haven't started Phase 2 for the Bootcamp. I have been putting all my time and effort into my main website.
I did, however, get a domain and make a very basic website as part of the Phase 1 Bootcamp. So I guess my question is this---should I work on the continuing the certification for my main website while getting the website for the WA Affiliate Program at the same time, or should I just focus on getting my main website up and going, then worry about Bootcamp stuff once I am done with the certification courses?
My journey here at WA is only just getting started. I am excited to continue with my training and certification.
As always, any help or guidance is appreciated. Wish you all the best <3

When I first started here, I wanted to jump right in to building a few different sites, but I was really overdoing it. With lots of help and support from others here, I realized I should only work on one site at a time. You're doing great and making terrific progress. Keep it simple and you'll be fine.
All the best to you,
Sue
Congratulations on your progress. I think the consensus from members is to stay focus on one site until it is successful or at least until you feel comfortable with its progress. I'm actually just doing the Bootcamp as I didn't really have a strong niche to develop with the Certification course. I think they both reinforce the basic principles. You'll know what you can handle. Continued success.

You're right about the general consensus of staying with my niche. That is exactly what I plan on doing. I definitely value other's opinions and will heed their advice.
Fantastic Betty on finishing Course 2. I really enjoy reading your blogs on your website. I am a dog lover also, I have one dog, Eddy, he is now 16 years old, in his twilight years so to speak.
Myself personally, I haven't even looked at the Affiliate Bootcamp as yet, just concentrating on the Certification Courses, getting there slowly but surely as I run my own business in Oz which does take up a lot of my time.
Keep up the great work, you are doing really well.
To your success, Caz
Will do Betty, he is lying on his doggy bed at the doorway of my office as he usually does, snoring away Zzzzzz!
He certainly does live the dog life :)
Hi Betty, It sounds like you are definitely on the right track. You are doing great, stay positive and keep moving forward. As for doing the Bootcamp.I tried doing them both simultaneously and it got very complicated. I think that you should finish the certification course first and build your Dog Site. Then do the Bootcamp. I wish you much success. :-) Frank
Congratulations on finishing course 2.
I originally did the certification and applied it to three websites. I just thought I would get bored writing about one subject. I then did Bootcamp and realised that, it was all about my my make money online website. Still at least I was ahead of the game when I got there so to speak.
If I am honest 3 was, is too many. I would stick to your niche one until you get to the end of the certification and then do bootcamp and build your make money online one.
I often got sidelined by having three and it meant applying everything three times. Too much and I don't recommend it.
With Grace and Gratitude

Well done, you are progressing through the training nicely. I recommend completing the training for your main website. Once you feel you have a handle on it, you can continue on with the WA bootcamp. That is my plan anyway. As far as your site goes, I will leave you a PM with my feedback.
I looked at your website and you have done niches within dog related matters. If you were writing about dogs in general then that would be too broad but you are not. Can dogs eat cinnamon, for example, is a great niche for dog lovers wanting to know about food for dogs. Your blogs are not broad they are very good in my opinion.
Congratulations on completing level 2! The prevailing wisdom here, and I agree, is to finish the certification course first. This is especially important if you're are relatively new to affiliate marketing.
WA Ambassador Boomergp08 has a training, take a look and decide for yourself. Bootcamp or Certification Courses Which to Choose First
I love your domain name too! Great find. You can refine your niche over time and you can market WA membership with your niche site. Keep working on that. You can always build another site later if you want. There is no benefit trying to do both now. Keep your focus! ~Gina

Awesome news Betty, congrats! I have been creating to-do lists and find it useful in determining what to crack out first. I think you can do a couple sites at a time by updating one to be 90% complete while finishing up the WA Affiliate Program since that will generate leads while you complete the other. Hope that helps create a better solution for you.
