Hey, guys
So my question is, how do/did you guys deal with frustration when you aren't seeing results as quickly as you would like with your online business. I know you b
Yup, I know the feeling. Here are some things you can do:
1) Create a vision board and put it where you will always see it
2) Write down how much you've learned
3) Write down non-monetary goals and gains that you've made
4) Take a week break and come back with a fresh mind. Sometimes you just need to step away for a minute. Don't make it too long...a week is good
Hope this helps :)

lol, awesome! Yeah, it really helps. Sometimes we get swept away by life and our goals sort of get thrown under the bus and you forget what you're working towards and why. But if you always have them there where you can see them then they're harder to miss and your reinforced with why you're doing what you're doing. That way you're more motivated to keep going. :)

Taking each day as it comes, one step at a time:) I get too excited and want to start seeing immediate results and when I don't, frustration follows.
But what's sorted my attitude out is a massive sign above my workspace saying 'slow and steady does the job'. It helps me create a good quality website and encourages me to enjoy every minute of website building.
Hope you find your way of coping:D

I have a question about my post being ranked. When I search for the title of my post in Google, for me it shows up on the first page. But when I search for it from a different
When you are on your own browser it's stored in your cache and will come up on the list. Even when you clear your browser cache it's there.
Start checking everything you do in Incognito mode, it's like you are checking in a different browser and not your own. Just like you see this on a different device.
This happens all the time, as it happened to me months ago shortly after I joined. I'll leave you the link for more information. Googles False First Page Result. Yes False.
Hi, Patsy
That's not cool Google tricking us. I'm just glad you told me about it because I was about to write a blog post here telling people about it!
Oh well, I'll get there eventually! :)
I spared you!
I wrote one out then a while later a 2nd one!
I deleted both because everyone was congratulating me for nothing.
Check in Incognito mode for everything having to do with your website.

I'm thinking that a few different things could be going on.
1) Your personal search history can affect the results that google shows you. If you've searched for some related terms before and visited your site as a result, google will tend to keep showing you your own site in its results. To keep this from happening, you should do your searches in a private (or incognito) browser window. Unless you've previously used that different device you refer to, your search history wouldn't be stored on that device.
2) If you're logged in to google+, items that you've shared there are probably being "biased up" in the search results. Logging out of google+ may or may not help if this is the case.
3) Searching for the exact title of a post isn't the kind of searching that a typical visitor would be doing. While you know the title of your post, anyone else searching for your content wouldn't. They would be searching for keywords related to your content.
Hi, Bob
Thanks for your reply. I was thinking the same about logging out of Google but it looks like incognito does the same.
I was searching the title because the title is the keywords I was using. Unless I'm not understanding how keywords work.
I've only published 5 posts so far and none are indexed. How long is an average amount of time to get indexed?

Hey Brian,
Why not offer a FREE ebook where your site visitor only has to offer up their email address.
You could make the ebook about, let's say, "Beginner's Guide to Online Marketing" in which you could then offer your affiliate links to some of the BEST tutorials right here at WA.
That way, you're not as apt to be breaking any rules, though I'm not sure if there is one for your idea.
If you are adamant about doing this, then I would highly recommend you contact Kyle and ask him if it would be allowed.
Hope this helps you.
