Diamonds!

Shirley Bassey glorified them in her 1964 James Bond theme song, "Diamonds Are Forever." Every woman yearns for them and every man who loves a woman would sell everything he owns to buy the love of his life the best one he could.

Then there is that famous question: What is a diamond in the rough?

On eBay, you can get a 1ct rough diamond for anywhere between USD 22 - 1,000 depending on the specs and the gold mine that it is from.

But, have you considered that your Wealthy Affiliate (WA) website is a diamond in the rough?

Diamond Cutting And Content Marketing


The process of diamond cutting involves taking a rough diamond and turning it into a beautiful and admired gem. It is a process that someone with expert knowledge about diamonds, the appropriate resources, tools and equipment has to do.

Every single decision that the diamond cutter takes will directly affect the outcome, look, value and profitability of the diamond. It is an investment of love, time and dedicated effort.

The diamond cutter is a professional who has an eye for detail which makes him an in-demand artist.

Does that sound familiar?

Isn't that what we do with our websites?

We actually start with a very rough idea, often none at all, about what an online business is. from there we learn, turning night into day to study and test our knowledge. Over time, we strengthen our skills and abilities and build out our websites, turning them into high traffic, in-demand pieces of art on the internet.

You Start With A WA Website


We all start from a point of zero at WA on that first day. There is one proviso though that I am certain most of you do not think about.

When you start, from day 1, you are building out your website. Yes! You actually start with a free WA website. We all do.

This is mine: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/cassioftroy

  • Are you also aware that every single piece of content that you write on your WA website is visible and accessible on the internet?
  • Do you know that you can build a lucrative business just from your WA website?
  • Are you aware that your WA blog posts get indexed and ranked on Search Engines?

Pay Attention To Your WA Stats


When I started in October 2019, my WA stats were at 0. Just like you. Just over 1 year later, I am enjoying almost 2,000 Content Clicks per month.

WA Content Clicks, Cassi Of Troy

My goal is to cross 2,000 Content Clicks in November 2020. Why?

As Kerri explains so well:

"Content Clicks are clicks that are tracked for those visiting any content you publish through Wealthy Affiliate (that ranks in Google, such as your blog posts, questions, etc…). It is important to create meaningful blog posts so they get indexed in Google [and other Search Engines]. Then, people who follow your post to WA, you get referral traffic for the content you created."

WA traffic leads to Unique Clicks. Unique Clicks lead to WA Referrals and WA Sales.

Grow Your WA Brand


In August 2020, I launched my WA Brand, Cassi Of Troy. Quietly, I have been using my WA blog posts around social media and to support the building of my website.

The results have been inspiring.

Referrals are up 900%, I made my first WA sale and a few of my other Referrals are on the edge of converting.

I know that the MMO takes more time to break through and establish yourself so I have placed it in my long-term strategy. I will consistently grow it over time and make it a sustainable growth sector for my business.

Periodically, Use Bird's Eye Aerial Views To Reposition Your Business. Pay attention to your WA website, brand and stats. You could be missing out on some lucrative possibilities.

Thank you for sharing your strategies, Cassi. The expression "Train as you fight", which mean to write your WA blog posts like you would write your blog posts for your website is exactly what you have done all the way; A role model for us all to follow! 😃

Roy

You are very welcome, Roy.

Very early on, in one of Kyle's lessons, it hit home that our WA blogs could be a goldmine.
They rest on our WA website.

That is huge!

I'm not a big jewelry person so diamonds don't excite me. I could be engaged with a gift certificate for a book or craft store. LOL.

Personally, I think we're ALL diamonds in the rough.
"Every single decision that the diamond cutter takes will directly affect the outcome, look, value and profitability of the diamond. It is an investment of love, time and dedicated effort."

These are not just WA decisions but those in our life - how much we can expose our true potential and value.

Just a thought...............

Debbi, I LOVE your thinking!!
I agree wholeheartedly with you.

If each human being can see themselves as a "diamond in the rough" and really believe that within them lies so much potential and possibility, we will all be better for it.

Thank you, as always.
Cassi

With age comes wisdom?!?!?! 😊
