Advise on doing Certification Courses
I love good movies and I love good books, and when I find one that's really good I'll watch and/or read it more than once. I've been known to watch a movie I like two or three times right away, then wait a while and watch it again.
Why? Because the first time I don't see it, I "devour it". Then when I watch it again, I'm more settled, knowing generally what's coming, but the second time I'm able to pick up on more of the detail, and by the third and on, I already know what's there, and I'm able to focus on key elements of interest to me within the story, the performances etc...understanding and enjoying more and more of what the film or book presents.
My point is:
When you first begin on Level One, Lesson one, you'll know quickly that this is a "Good Movie", and lessons two thru ten you'll end up devouring...you'll just want to eat the whole thing up as fast as you can. It'll be like you're in a pie eating contest, where each lesson is like another pie sitting in front of you. Then you'll go Premium, and really start gorging yourself with the other Courses and lessons.
Now that's alright...go ahead and enjoy it...see how much of it you can stuff in your mouth and swallow.
Just Remember This:
- When you eat like that you're gonna get sick, and the same will be true with racing through these lessons.
Not only will you be "eating", at the same time you'll also be doing a lot of tasks along with it, namely deciding on your niche, and setting up your website....sort of like eating your Thanksgiving meal while running a 15K race at the same time.
And before long your head will start spinning, and you're going to feel overwhelmed...you're okay, it's normal, everybody here experiences it.
What's the Remedy?
Simple....Just back away from the table for a bit, let yourself settle...And then go back and go through the lessons again, starting with Certification One, Lesson One and so on.
You'll be surprised at what you "see" the second time around, things will make much more sense, questions that were running frantically through your mind will magically become much more clear to you.
Then you can continue on eating up this wonderful meal called Wealthy Affiliate.
Bon Appetite

I like your analogy. I tend to follow the lessons slowly, so that I can savour them. I stop and replay them so as to get more flavour, and I construct my website as I go. I then have a break because I'm impatient to add some content. Then I find that I need some information regarding constructing my site/arranging content, so I may go back through a lesson, or conduct a search for the answer - invariably it's there. I would not like to go back to the beginning of the lessons for I feel like I've just climbed a mountain (maybe on a full stomach).
Well I guess we all have our eating habits,your's sounds more sensible...I'll bet you chew your food 32 times before swallowing :)
No Way! I'm far too impatient for that. Maybe it's about saving time, being efficient and doing my best to get it right the first time. Don't you just hate it when food regurgitates?
Do now...
