Joined January 2018
I'm a retired business owner from California. I enjoy the outdoors, meeting people and dancing. I've been a workaholic all of my life but, now, I just want something enterprising to do.

I'm currently compiling a book entitled, "Everything I Know" as a testament to what I've accomplished these past decades.

I enjoy writng and have wanted to be an online marketer for years.

I believe that my forty years in business has taught me three important things, 1) Marketing 2) Finance and 3) New Customers. I imagine, these three can be applied to online marketing, as well.

Hi Clare, awesome goals. Sounds like you are very determined.

I suggest you pin your goals up in your work area and look at them each day.

Date it as well. Focus on them and they will come true...

Personally, I think it helps to write out my goals, give short and long term goals.

Then stay dedicated to working hard to reach those goals on a daily basis.

This is what has really helped me get started and has lead to much of my online success.

That and the education, support, and guidance offered here at WA.

All's it takes to reach your goals is to follow the training courses and take action on what you learn, work consistently with a positive energy and you'll make it.

I'm certainly glad I followed the WA training on a daily basis.

I now have a great online business that works for me 24/7, even when I'm sleeping.

I wish you nothing but the same kind of success,
Todd

Superb goals Clare! You have a large network and community here at WA that you can leverage for help and support along the way, myself included.

It all starts with a goal...then is followed by action...then is followed by results. This is going to be how it pans out for you and I can't wait to hear about all of your successes in the days, weeks, and months ahead! :)

Ok, Todd. I imagine my first goal is to generate $50 a day then, go to $100. This is a good start, for me since I use to generate $1000 a day. This, of course, was with an already established biz I purchased in my twenties. I retired that business @fifteen years ago. It took a lot of work-eighteen hours a day-but it netted me three to six grand a month. I'd like to increase that amount.

NIce, you can do it, no doubt about it. It's just a matter of creating your site and filling it with helpful content that's targeted to your niche. Once you get traffic, you add in email marketing, maybe some sales pages/landing pages and you've got yourself a massive loop that functions like this..

Take traffic from Google, other search engines, and social networks to your site. Then that person goes through your site and either opts into your email system and or goes on to buy directly. If they don't, you try to capture the sale in your email series.

The loop never ends and the business eventually takes on that passive income quality we all love.

Look forward to seeing what you create Clare.

Cheers,
Todd

Hi Clare,

Are you getting the system down yet. If not, click the green Certification tab and start taking classes.

This can be information overload and that's OK, that's how all professions are when first getting started.

That's why I like taking the daily classes and watching the weekly webinars.

I've grown a simple blog into a passive income source.

Follow your passions, and you can do the same.

Let me know if you need any help with ideas by clicking a reply to this comment.

Hi Clare,

I see that you got your account set up here at WA. Congrats!

I really believe the key to this business is designating a set amount of time to your education.

If you consistently work on the Getting Started course, you'll build your website and online business at the same time.

Here's one cool success story I want to share with you so you see that making money online is a reality. If you haven't started the Online Entrepreneur Certification Course - that's the place to start.

It'll take you through the whole process.

Just click the green "Get Started Here" button up on the left.

Best of luck and keep working towards your goals.
Todd

I hope things are going well. I know you are getting rolling within the training and there is ONE thing that always tends to confuse people and that is "what is my niche?".

I know, same thing happened to me when I started.

I just wanted to reach out and let you know that I am here if you ever want to run any niche "ideas" by me or you have any questions about finding your niche.

Get back to me when you get the chance! :)

In reading the course material on "niche", I came to the term "voice over IP". It is used as an example. I had to go to wiki to clear this up. I have no experience with this technical term, so am feeling a bit dull.

I'm plan to let Kyle know about this.

There are some gems in books that no one (but a few) have bothered to read. I think people need to know about this so they can avoid the Doctor.

Hi Clare,

Welcome to Wealthy Affiliate (WA).

My name is Todd and I referred you here to Wealthy Affiliate through my website http://LearnToGrowWealthOnline.com

I hope you really enjoy WA and take time to check them out, there's a ton of training and great info here.

Absorb it like a sponge.

I personally started by taking classes one day at a time and then simply took action on what I learned.

The results?

I couldn't be happier with my online business.

I Make Money While I Sleep. It's Awesome!

That being said, before you start making money, there are three things you need to know.

1) Those who ask questions and interact with the community are far more likely to learn faster and meet their financial goals.

- Watch this video here to learn how to maximize your community reach at WA.. 2) You can get started learning how to make money by doing your Level 1 Certification Course. Click on the green "Get Started Here" button or just click this link.. .

This is the first course on the Wealthy Affiliate Entrepreneur Program, and the next best step you can take.

This is where I started my online business and I think you'll be pleased with the results.

3) Don't be afraid to ask questions. WA is a super friendly community, especially to newbies, so there are no dumb questions here.

Remember that you can ask any question you want in live chat, on your personal blog, or in the Getting Started Classroom here..

Todd;
I travel, too. And this may go on for some years as I'm recently retired. So, I have a q. for you. How many hours should I spend (without out-sourcing) once I'm at the maintenance stage of this business? I imagine it'll take @ a year and half for the initial, establishment stage. I'm just curious if traveling and setting up this business is realistic.

Hi Clare,

Good question but a lot of this depends on the person. It depends on how good of a writer you are and how well you know SEO.

All these things are taught here, but it takes people different amounts of time to develop their skills.

I was (and sometimes still am) a slow content producer. I'm also a bit of a perfectionist so this can hinder that.

I was traveling and living in Colombia when I started my site. I spent 40 - 50 hours working on my site per week and spent 9 months on it before I was done with WA's training program.

I spent another 3 months and on my 100th publication, I found my first writer. Since then I've written maybe 2 posts but I've edited and done the SEO on every single post.

Now I"m just scaling what works and reinvesting into my site from what I earn. This method produces faster results.

I have no problem taking off for 2 hours and busting out some keyword research and writing a post while traveling, but maybe that's not for everyone.

Anything that you can do online can be integrated into traveling. I've done it myself and know 100's of others that do it as well.

Hope this helps, if not, let me know.

Best,
Todd

Thanks, Todd.
Makes sense.

I haven't done much with SEO, but I like to think I'm a "quick study".

Luckily, I've attempted these courses before (@10-15 yrs. ago) so have some familiarity. Which brings me to my next question.

Are we, essentially, marketing to other Marketers? I don't have a problem with this. I'm just curious.

Hi Clare,
I think there's some confusion here with WA. WA has two courses, I encourage everyone to go with the main training program called the Online Entrepreneur program. This teaches you how to develop a niche website, learn keyword research and targeting keyword that your niche is googling. Then build out that site and send traffic to helpful affiliate products within your niche. This can be about any niche in the world.

The second program is Bootcamp and I wouldn't recommend this to you unless internet marketing is your niche that you absolutely love.

This is to promote WA and other online training programs. This niche is extremely competitive and takes a long time to break into. So unless you're good with a years worth of work and little money, I would follow your own niche and passion.

I've got a blog about this topic on my profile called Newbies Don't Join Bootcamp if you want to check it out.

WA will teach you to put up a cool site, bring in free and paid traffic, convert that traffic to sales. The niche is your choice.

Best,
Todd
