The Journey of a Thousand Miles Begins With One Step
My husband and I plan on taking a trip to Europe next year. I am looking forward to being at our destination. To me, that will be the pinnacle of the trip.
I remind myself, it will be a journey. There will be several lengthy flights before we arrive. Many steps must be taken. We had to plan the trip and purchase the tickets before even beginning the trip.
So it is with our journey here at Wealthy Affiliate. We had to plan to go on this journey. Once that decision was made, we have many steps to make, each one at a time.
Looking at my website, I realize how much I have accomplished. There is plenty more work ahead for me to do. Many questions I have to find answers for. But each step must come one at a time.
That is how great it is here. Kyle and the team, have laid the lessons to build on each other. Following them one at a time, and voile, a website has appeared!
I am eager to discover the next step. How to make this monetize itself. I have my own reasons not to rush through this. I do want to get it set up properly. How long it will take, I am not sure. Is it possible for this to purr along on its own? I am here to find that out.
This website is geared towards Baby Boomers. I am feeling my way through this in 'trying to help them keep active and healthy'. That is something I am dealing with, and I know others are as well.
Once I have achieved success with this website, I may try another one. Time will tell. It makes good sense to do the first one well before trying a second one.
Short-term, I will see how long it takes. Right now we still have one steady income coming into the household. Long term, I would like to have it making me substantial retirement income.
Any of you with experience, I would love to hear your thoughts. How much constant attention does a website need to still make a good income?

And it seems that the first step is always the hardest and as we move along things get a little easier!

Thanks! I'll be counting on things getting easier as I go along! LOL
If i know anything about life, there are usually challenges around the corner!
But thanks for the encouraging words! ;)
That really depends on many variables including, how fast you can write, how good you can write, how much you understand about streamlining a website, what social media platforms you use, what your niche is about etc
As you can see, it's not an easy question to answer. Jim
I have a lot to learn about social media platforms. I have several friends using Instagram and doing well.

Hey, Carolyn, I visited Europe years ago. I recently spoke with a person from Italy and he told me that there are so many people it is crowded. No water on the fire. I hope your dream comes true. One of my contacts here is an ex-pat who lives in Ukraine. He is absolutely on cloud nine.
Whatever your vision, it is yours and absolutely beautiful. Do pursue your dream. Dr. Jeff
There are many places I would love to visit. This trip will take us to Scandinavia. Not sure if that is technically Europe. But I am looking forward to it.
Awesome, my mom is from Sweden. Thanks for your reply.
