I Am So Frustrated...

You may ask why? I have been thinking some things through and doing a little bit of rehashing decisions. I am trying to figure out how to overcome a bad decision here at WA, back in July. I decided to do the Affiliate Bootcamp training to build my site on MMO (Make Money Online - for new peeps that aren't familiar with the acronym).

The last few days I have seen many posts from experienced business owners here recommending that new members should not do the Affiliate Bootcamp, but the Online Entrepreneur Certification instead.

I have actually even read Robert's post about it and am starting to realize that it is a niche that is saturated. Even with members here going in that direction...and most are probably not new to this business like I am.

There was a new post this morning about it also...not really what I wanted to see. I feel that I have wasted my time and am just frustrated with myself that I decided to promote WA instead because I had no idea what niche I really wanted to do.

So, now what?

So, now I am at a decision point...do I leave the WA promotion site alone and start a new one that is actually a niche or stick with it and realize that I need to do more to be relevant on Google?

The thing I am realizing is that it's almost 6 months that I have been here and feel that I shouldn't have gone the Affiliate Bootcamp direction. Because the arguments that support that are valid and I have to feel that I agree to some degree.



But...

On the other hand, I have put in some work on the website and am about to embark on a new site for my wife in about 3 months from now anyway. The MMO website has 5 blog posts that are indexed, not ranked well, but at least indexed.

Starting over would mean going in a new direction and exactly like I already mentioned...starting over. I just cannot see myself doing that.


My Decision at this Point Now...

Move forward with my original plan...I have three ideas in the works already for new reviews, one of which is already in draft form for my site. I also have 5 ideas as to what my other content will also be.

I have also been told by a member here that she read my website and my style of writing kept her on my page...and this was not through SiteComments here, but she was just parousing my site on her own by following my links.

I realized that I am enjoying this niche...I like writing from the heart and hoping that will be enough to build a following and drive traffic to my site. I am hoping that I am speaking to the reader's heart when I post. I post from my own feelings and not from just trying to make money. Although, that would be a great side benefit if I got at least one referral...LOL!

Anyways...

I am continuing on with my WA promo website and stick with MMO. I just had to vent and hope that any new people here reading this realize that you aren't alone with the frustration of not making any money here yet!

So, how are you overcoming a bad decision here at WA? I know what I am doing...pressing on and not going to worry about what I read from others' posts. Because to me, it's not a bad decision and just means that I may have to work a little harder to be a success...AND THAT'S WHAT I PLAN TO DO!!

I wish you all the best!

Suzay

Loving your attitude!
Do you !
Excited for us all to succeed.

My hope is for everyone here to be a success in however we run our businesses. Some will be successful sooner than others but the ones like myself will still be successful...just at our own pace! 👍

Thanks for stopping by and reading this!

I wish you the best!

Sort of in the same boat with you Bob. That along with some other garbage life has thrown into the mix.

We cannot let other people’s opinions about what is best effect us. We are each individuals with different goals, desires and directions of travel.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and to all those who have posted comments.

Thanks for reading. I almost fell victim to the thoughts of others for me...tsk tsk...wont do it! 😜

I always encourage people to do their niche site first, make that a success, then work on an MMO site when you can actually speak from experience. That makes a huge difference in your writing.

I see the validity in that...but am going to stick with what I am currently doing. I WILL make it work for me. One way or the other. Thanks for the input. :-D

I wish you the best!

Bob I have been to your site and have told you that. You have a great why of writing you need to take into consideration that every body is different and that there are millions of people out there on the net that will find your work because of you simplicity and sincerity.

You can work a bit on putting in a few pictures on your site, more to do with that you write about. not every thing has to do with WA you also share your experiences. Pictures say a thousand words . Don't bog yourself down with what others are doing.

Remember what Kyal has taught you that it takes time . The empire stadium was not built in a day nor 6 months Six months is not very long.

Always a better way

True, in fact I mentioned you in my post and I do appreciate what you have told me. That is the one thing that has inspired me to continue with what I started.

I’m not changing a thing, except I do need to add some images. I just have to spend the time looking for what I need.

Thank you for commenting.

I wish you the best!
Bob

Looking for those images will wind you down a bit and bring you much joy. For example the rainbow this will give you a very good example of what I ment
Linda

Thanks Linda

Your website content is great. Remember that there are over 3 billion people online.
There is always room for more people to share a niche. Do you think a supermarket worries about how many other supermarkets are in town when they decide to open another? They just market more and provide good service.
You just need to do it better.
Your site is very new in terms of content. Just keep writing. You have a great style.
Some content in bootcamp is the same as the certification training, just more marketed towards affiliate marketing as a niche. Continue on and you can do the other later. It is more important that you keep adding content to your site.
As you move forward with your business you will always continue to learn. Not only with bootcamp and online certification, but by reading the other training and blogs and attending Jay's webinars, as well as through you tube and others. Any business needs to keep up with technology and the ever changing universe. Online or offline.
Keep at it. Don't throw in the towel.

Thanks for that...oh believe me. I’m not throwing in the towel...in fact as I typed that blog post I seem to get myself even more pumped.

It was something I have been going through for the last few days. I was seriously considering changing niche idea.

But as I stopped and thought about it more...decided to post a blog...more for those out there feeling the same.

Because I fought through those feelings and am pushing on...

I wish you the best!
Bob

Thanks for sharing, Bob.

Roger...thank you for reading it...

I wish you the best!
Bob

No problem, Bob.

That's right! ... You've just talked yourself around it! .... Inherently, you know what is best for you -- Y O U ! ....

.... and be true to that Y O U ! ...

keep moving onward, forward & upward to success!

yes, you can do it! .... cheerio ... 😊

Thank you for that...I did talk myself around it...LOL!

I wish you the best!
Bob

it's a pleasure -- always a delight to see you in action!

Very best wishes for every success.... ⭐️🎈

I would call that your breakthrough moment Bob.

The key can be to forge our own path, I don't really get why some folks rail against newer folks promoting WA.

The thing is we are here to learn the skills to create a successful online presence, we all come from different backgrounds, and one thing for sure there are plenty of folks in the same situations as we are in.

Plenty asking and searching for ways to enhance their lifestyles.

Pretty rude of us if we don't offer a helping hand by introducing then to WA.

Good on you for sticking to your guns.
Alex

Thanks Alex...the posts were clouding my judgement, and causing me some doubts.

But...then I realized it IS MY path to follow...hence the post!

I wish you the best!
Bob
