I finally did it! A short WA blog post!
Wow, I have been so consumed by the need to clean up other peoples messes (literally as well as figuratively) lately that I have been falling excessively short of my goals. I was just looking through my pages and posts on wordpress, I've only published 1 page and 1 post for a grand total of 2 new articles...
Granted, a good part of the reason for that is that I had 10 articles to write for my first freelance client, but still!... 2 ARTICLES IN 12 DAYS!!! Unacceptable!
I hope everyone has been making outstanding progress here and on your sites! I haven't been popping in to help answer questions nearly as much over the past week or so either; That's ok though, I know someone else took handled answering the questions I didn't.
Communal Power!
Anyways, I don't really have a whole lot of news or anything all that helpful in specific to share today. I just wanted to show my face and say hello.
Keep it rockin' guys and gals! I'll have a heavier presence here again in a day or two!

Yes, but can I possibly do more than I can do? lol
I swear I can squeeze 65 minutes from an hour!
I might push myself too hard sometimes. But that's the drive I'm counting on to bring success in life! Not just here... I feel like in every situation I can outdo my best.
Good enough... Isn't
Better is Progress &
Best is a LIE!!! Hahaha
Thanks for the encouragement, it means a lot!

Hi Zach, It's easy to get distracted, especially when one has such a cute little dude at home! It sure happens to me a lot and I no longer have a little one around -- just five pets!! So, I just pick myself up, brush myself off, and get focused again! ha ha BTW, years ago we had a fresh water aquarium, and I sure wish I would have had access to such great information as you have in your website. Rock on!! Diana
So very much truth in what you say Diana. I can relate to the pet distractions. On top of the little guy, I've got a dog and 5 aquariums! Haha.
Thank you very much for the complements to the site!
All the best,
Zach
You're using your time to write for your clients. That's a real money coming to you. After all, our purpose is to make money.
Very true, but it's that situation of... "Dang, I need the quarter now instead of a potential dollar later."
Like going straight to work instead of college. College is probably the better long term decision, but bills don't wait!
Can I say shame on you - no because I am the same as I really enjoy answering questions and helping others and I just had my first love chat with two people !!!!
You were gone? LOL! You are doing great. Cleaning those messes wouldn't have anything to do with the fellow next to you in the profile picture? I have a physics question for you. How can a child come into a room for 5 minutes and create 3 hours worth of clean up? Dave.
Haha! Spot on Dave. I believe a big part of it is that they continue to follow behind you, making their best attempt at undoing all of the cleaning you do!
Unfortunately, those are routine messes and the messes I was referring to.... are made by people that are not 3 years old and they should know better. I'm a helper through and through though, I can't often say no to a friend in need.
I think theirs a saying for that actually!
A friend in need is a friend indeed!
This is true, however, as your business grows you may get to a point where you need to delegate things out instead of doing them all yourself as you scale up your business. Dave.
That is certainly in the scope of what I hope to attain. Though, frankly that stage still seems like a bit of a pipe dream at this point. It's difficult to conceptualize as well as visualize my business being at that point in reality, it'll be fun looking back to this point when it is there though.
Future Me:
"Back when I started my affiliate marketing career, I made $2.77 in my first 2 1/2 months, but I stuck with it, ground out a quintillion articles and now I am a certified hundredaire!"
Kidding, I should hope I can do better than that!
On a side note, I just cranked out 3 more articles in the last 3 hours, wrapping up the job for the client I mentioned in this blog post.
Average length, 1,400 words, quality stuff too! I'd be proud to display them. (as I should be. I'd never submit work to a client If I wasn't even happy with it!)
It is a bit of a dance isn't it Loes!? haha, learning the steps is fun, even if you get tripped up a little here and there. Thanks for the support =^)
