What Are Your 2019 Financial Goals - Here Are Mine
When all of us join Wealthy Affiliate (WA) as free starter members we are asked in the training to state our short and long term financial goals. We are also asked to state how many hours we will devote per day or week to reach those goals. I know for me as I am sure it is for most others, reality does not match our original goals.
WHAT I WILL ACHIEVE IN 2019
Since joining WA in August 2013 I have been all over the MMO, make money online niche. I was an eBay Top Rated Power Seller which I was looking to give up so I could build an e-commerce website and use my lifetime membership with WBI to do drop shipping. But I learned about affiliate marketing and decided to follow that way to MMO.
I fell in love with affiliate marketing thanks to WA and built a couple of niche websites and then an affiliate bootcamp website promoting WA. That latter website earned me the most money until I decided to think outside of the box and use the skills of keyword research and SEO I learned here and provide it to local small businesses with websites.
I still make money every month from the promotion of WA, but it has not grown as quick as it used to because I am spending more time working with these local small businesses. Though I get paid up to $3,000.00 for providing my skills to others, I really want to get back to doing more affiliate marketing. I have not abandoned it, just not as active as I want to be.
For 2019 I want to promote WA more and realistically achieve a trip to Las Vegas by 2021. I want to increase promotion of WBI for those who wish to work with wholesalers for drop shipping and e-commerce. To promote more of Elixinol’s high quality Organic CBD Hemp Oil products. I am not only an affiliate of these companies but I love using their products and services.
WHAT ARE YOUR 2019 FINANCIAL GOALS?
When I now set goals for myself I am more realistic, which is why I am looking at 2021 to make Las Vegas with WA and not 2020. But I will most likely go to CES in Las Vegas in January 2020 using the money I have earned thanks to the WA training like I did in January 2018. CES is super cool for those who like technology and offers many new niche ideas.
Realistically I think I can double my online earnings by the end of 2019, but what about you? What do you realistically feel you can achieve both financially and in your progress with the WA training? It is OK to think big but make realistic goals based on where you are now and how long you took to get there. You can achieve much if you put your mind and effort into it.
For example, currently in December 2018 I am making close to $4,000.00 USD per month which is a combination of my SEO services offline, promotion of WA, WBI and Elixinol. Though I have completed the Online Entrepreneur Certification Course I have only done half of the Affiliate Bootcamp. Another of my 2019 goals is to start bootcamp again and finish it.
What are you going to do in 2019? Jessica (Swangirl) just blogged about getting her biggest WA check ever without having a WA promotional bootcamp website. It can be done by any member! I have even explained how any member can make money with their WA blog which has given me many referrals. Make 2019 the year you really reach your financial and education goals.
If you are looking to start a new niche website in a profitable niche market, consider some of those I have listed in the tutorial at the below link. Plenty of ideas you can use for a new niche website in 2019 and beyond. I want to wish everyone reading this post a very happy, healthy and prosperous New Year in 2019.

Nice, Rob always good to hear great goalkeeping and to see what you have been up to wishing you all the best in the New Year and that you will reach your goals.
You have shown many, that this is all possible here. My biggest goal is to implement my own e-books on my site starting from small ones and working on the big guy.
Have already got one just about ready to be posted. I am Looking forward to the New Year
always a better way

That is good to hear about your e-books and the one just about ready to go. One of the many things I like about WA is the ability to make money in various ways.
We can join affiliate programs, create our own products like e-books, we can use our skill knowledge in SEO and help local businesses, we can tutor others, write content for others, or set up an e-commerce website and do drop shipping on it.
There are many avenues for making money here beyond affiliate marketing. This is why I am still a member 5+ years and with no plans of leaving. Our ability to earn money is only reduced by our depth of imagination. If you can dream it...
May you have a Happy New Year in 2019.
Your plan sounds great! I plan on doubling the number of posts and comments on 4 websites and making a passive income of 6k each month by August of 2019.
Ambitious, but I like it! I for one want to get back into the swing of things and build my sites up more than they currently are too.
It is always a pleasure to share information that motivates, teaches and helps the people of this great community. Have a Happy and Prosperous 2019.
Goals for 2019:
Hire a full time writer to grow my current website
Start a website promoting WA
Go all in on Youtube
If everything goes to plan, i am seeing an easy 10K/month by Mid 2019
'If you can dream it, you can do it.'
Oh Yes! 2019 slogan for me! Thanks so much for the inspiration!
You are welcome. Go for your goals and stay serious about the WA training. It really works!
Hello Robert,
Your income is very good, using different ways I think it's great. I will also try to do the same. That you have an excellent end of the year and a better 2019.

I’ve been a member here since 2014 and have basically treated it as a hobby and not set goals or any definitive path for progression. My goal for 2019 is to make $250/month. I would be ecstatic to make $500/ month.
You can achieve those goals because I an many others are making at least that much per month but it requires effort and patience.
Thank you for sharing, Robert! I must be fortunate that I start off with previous. Just that I am fortunate :o)
My goal is not on monetary value (although I wish) but I must complete my OEC training first... :o)
You are welcome Terand. Goals do not have to be financial especially for those who have only been here at WA for less than a year. All the best in your training.

Read your post with interest as I am still in the embryonic state and yet to learn how to make money online, I also checked out the link to your post on choosing a niche again very informative. Thank you, best wishes for the new year, when you get Vegas enjoy. Try to leave with more than you arrived with but always have enough left to get back home.
You are welcome. Though I have been to Las Vegas more than 10 times I can safely say I have never left with no money. This is because I am not a big gambler and I only spend what I am willing to lose. May you have a Happy New Year too.
