Hi, I'm Jean from California. I started at Wealthy Affiliate in October 2015, but given that affiliate marketing was totally new for me, I had trouble keeping up with learning and implementing what I needed to do consistently. Therefore, after staying at WA for about 3 years, I then "dropped out" for about 2 years, rejoining in January 2021. I felt I needed to develop more self-discipline and some good work habits before following the adage, "If you don't succeed, try, try again." That is, if you don't succeed with your first website, try, try again. (Although I believe in that wise saying, I think it works best if you have yourself straightened out first. For example, there's no point in trying again if you aren't able to do something consistently at all.)
At the same time, good things don't come to those that wait. Rather, good things come to those that don't wait to take action. I find that I wait less and take action quicker now. For instance, if I'm watching a how-to video on how to do something, nowadays I will take action while watching/listening to the video right on the spot instead of merely watching/listening and then (maybe) implementing it later. This, I found, works 300% better.
Anyway, I think Wealthy Affiliate will work if you do the work and do things properly.

Hey Jean,
I saw your comment and question about Wordpress themes, static pages, etc. and speed. Not sure if you know about this resource, but the following link is a place I go to find good info. Thought I would share.

Wishing you success!

Thanks, Joy. I'll take a look at the info from the link.
So much information to read, always feel like trying to catch up.
I got 2 speed reading courses from Udemy. I found out yesterdays from taking an online reading test from Staples website that my current speed is 220 wpm. I finished watching the first speed reading course yesterday. One thing that was emphasized is not to read every word because we can take in patterns and ideas without reading all words. So one technique is to start reading from right to left, then on next line left to right, then next line right to left. This also decreases vocalization. This seems impossible in terms of comprehension but supposedly is effective with practice.)
Since today is the final day of Udemy sale at $15 a course, I decided to pick up a couple of more courses (and this is my last investment for a while). One is "Confidence On Camera" and the other is "5-Step Creative Process To Branding." I picture myself making video with myself on camera and posting on YouTube, which is good way to get the word out.
Do you have videos? Do you plan to make videos?

Hi Jean,
I am re-focusing at the moment. I have been a relationship and life coach who has always also worked with start-up businesses to help them get on their feet. I have also been hosting retreats and ecstatic dance classes as well as helping my husband run his business and my daughter run hers for years.
Because I have decided to focus in a slightly different direction with my coaching, writing, and online business, so it is taking some time. Yes, I plan on having a variety of books written, video courses, and hope to get into hosting webinars.
It all takes time, :) Working at it one step at a time (or sometimes more:)
All we can do is keep moving forward!

Hi again Jean it’s a good idea (only if you want to) to click the 'Like' icon within a comment if you like it as I have done with yours.
Obviously you don't have to click every single comment or you will be here all day doing nothing but.
But to click the ones you like that are replies to your own comments will be reflected in your WA ranking because it shows you are getting involved with the community.
Enjoy your day.

Hi Shawn,
Your website looks like a magazine with (increasingly) loads of info on sleep apnea. Not a lot of bells and whistles, just helpful info. Nice picture on the About Me page.:) I was wondering about "You May Also Like" where it looks like there are links to other websites? Does this help with traffic?

Thanks for taking the time to look over my site! The "You May Also Like" section was just added. It is part of the SumoMe plugin. I'm not sure if it helps with traffic and I'm wondering if it actually detracts from my website. I'll have to give it more thought and maybe ask a few more people what they think!
Regards,
Shawn

Hmm, don't know anything about SumoMe plugin, but that's one of the things I want to learn. Yeah, not sure if the "You May Also Like" section from the plugin is a good idea or not. Best wishes.

Question #2: Ecstatic and feel like life has some meaning for me earning $300,000 gross income annually (especially since I can do some useful things with that money and must be providing some value to make that kind of money).
Question #3: Starting at 14 hours weekly and increasing time spent as momentum picks up to the end result of 28 hours weekly.
Within 4 years for #1 amount. Within 8 years for #2 amount. (restarting from January 2021 onward)
