Growing Pains

Botho

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

So this is my first entry. I must say I am taking this really slowly. I joined a few days ago. And in direct contravention to what the Getting Started Guide said I did not do the assignments there and then but read a few days ahead. I did this because I needed to know what it was all about. In fact, I am still in the process, but I have now gained a sense of direction after having perused the starter guide, training articles and a video, and some external resources. So that is basically where I am.
One source of information I am currently consulting is the Mad Marketing Method. I found this through a WAbinar. Sometimes it is indeed a good idea to actually write down the goal you have in pursuing a certain course (like the marketing method says at the beginning). In this case, my goal is certainly to make money. Who knows how much I can make? But if it can replace a salary, that would be magnificent. I am looking forward to my further experience in internet marketing and the Wealthy Affiliate University.
