Hi everyone!
My name is Shawn, I am now 59 years of age and my family and I live in Ottawa, Canada.
I joined the Wealthy Affiliate community in January 2016 when I was 56 years young. Over the years, I have looked at various ways to supplement my income, including different MLM companies. Nothing ever came of those and then I came across the Wealthy Affiliate program. I have to admit, I was both skeptical and intrigued at the same time, given my previous history. I did a lot of research (mainly looking for negative reviews), and to my surprise, didn't find any!!!!
I am looking to retire in the next year and in between the golf course and my family, I thought this would be a great opportunity to meet new people and learn about affiliate marketing and hopefully add to my retirement income in the process.
All the best to you!
Shawn

Hi Shawn and thank you for following me. You can create a successful affiliate marketing business and retire to the golf course if you follow a proven strategy; work through the training and complete all the tasks before moving on to the next lesson, ask questions of the WA community when you need answers, write great content for your website on a regular basis and focus on your long-term goals. Best wishes for your online endeavours, Gary

Hello Shawn. Congrats on finding WA and congrats on the coming retirement. I've been retired for a little over 3 years and my wife and I are having the time of our lives living first in Central America, and for the past 14 months in South America.
I have jumped into WA with both hands and feet and learning as fast as possible. If you like you can read my web page retireoutsideusa.com. There may be something there that sparks an interest.
I'll be following you and wish you much success.

Hello Shawn, great connecting with you here at WA.
I also tried MLM a few years ago and found it all a bit one-sided. I'm just getting into my WA journey and am a retired 'privileged pensioner' in NZ.
But the passion I have about my topic, and a young 'street kid' style of dog I'm training, gives me heaps of motivation every day.
Go well in your journey and goals.

I read some of your posts and are really goo articles and short as well. But there is one that attracted me particularly among others which has the title "I Now Have Over 8,000 Followers"
I wanted to know what trick do you use to have such huge followers of 8k because I only have less 400 followers so far even though I follow more than 1k?

I have over 9,700 followers now, but I'm following over 42,000 WA members. I took a year off, otherwise I would have more. I just continue to follow other WA members. I look to follow new members on a daily basis and over time, that adds up.

Hi Shawn,
Thank you for following me.
I wish you loads of success with WA. There are so many wonderful people here to help you along the way. I am new here and still have my training wheels on. My best advice is to be patient and get through the training again. That's what many members keep telling me when I ask questions. Train, train, train.
If you work hard at this, you will likely be able to enjoy your retirement far better than you ever dreamed possible. That is certainly my aim.
I am now following you.
Best wishes,

Thanks for following me. I read your bio and have many of the same doubts, but also hopes this is more than just a way for them to make money. So I have a question... After nearly a year with WA what's your general consensus? Do you feel you've achieved the level of success you'd hoped for this early on, or is it a slower process that will take a rookie some real time before they could generate enough to live off of? Just a few things I've been wanting to ask some fellow members.

Hi Chin-ti,
Nice to meet you! I have been with WA for about 21 months now. I have made some money with premium referrals as well as using Adsense on one of my sites. i have also had a few sales through Amazon affiliates but certainly not enough to retire on. But I have learned a lot through the training here at WA. I guess for me, the toughest part has been practicing patience. I have gotten frustrated at times because I didn't think things were happening fast enough and I have to keep reminding myself that "Rome wasn't built in a day" and to be patient.
Congratulations on becoming a premium member Chin-ti! Continue to follow the training and ask lots of questions. The WA community is very helpful!
I hope this helps!
Best of luck in all your endeavors.

Hello Shawn, I see you have great pages and guess you are already making some money, I have been studying for over a month and already have 2 websites, not getting any money in yet. One of my pages is to promote WA, timetomakemoremoney.com, on this page I really dont know how active I have to be, or this should be a very stationary page, how do I promote it.
my other page is wildpackrunnner.com, I am treating this more as a blog page to talk about my life and running experiences and promote some running products, if you can take a look and advise on how to get traffic this would be great.
thanks and have a wonderful day.

Hi Miguel. Wow, 2 sites in just over a month! That's pretty impressive. I've taken a look at both of your sites and they're looking pretty good!
Are far as traffic for your sites goes, are you promoting them on various social media accounts such as Facebook, Google+, StumbleUpon, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram? Because your sites are so new, it's going to take some time for traffic, but if you keep adding new content to your sites and post to your social media accounts, you're traffic will start to increase.
Best of luck in all your endeavors.

Good morning Anne! I know that it can seem intimidating at first but if you follow the first few training lessons, you can get your website up and running. The images and colors can be added later. I do have an advantage over many people, I guess, because I do have a programming background but the beauty of these themes, is that you don't have to know how to program. It does all the work for you behind the scenes. I would be happy to try and help you. What is the name of your website and I'll take a look at it for you and offer some suggestions.
Hope you have a better morning/afternoon.

Thanks for following Shawn. I lived in Ottawa for a few months before immigrating to the US. Loved the city but boy in the winter is it ever cold, one day could not go out because of the chill factor. In Arizona, we have the opposite, 115-degree temperature yesterday. Just starting out with WA cannot give you any advice, but good luck!

My pleasure Pauline! I'm getting to the point that I don't like the winters here either. Thankfully, my wife and I have been spending a couple of weeks each year (usually in late February or early March) down in Florida. That way it breaks up the winter for us. On the other hand, I don't think I could live in Arizona with those types of temperatures!!! Way too hot for my liking!

I'm glad that I could be helpful to you. Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
Best of luck in all your endeavors.

I am a newbie Shawn. I am struggling to get my first website set up, afraid of doing something wrong, knowing that fear of mistakes will hold one back every time. Hope I can learn to get this business off he ground. I was both skeptical and intrigued at the same time also, but after trying so many things, I said what the heck and joined. I wish you the best of luck in all your endeavors.

Welcome to WA Brenda! I'm also afraid of making mistakes, but if you follow the training one lesson at a time, you'll get the hang of it. And besides, if you make a mistake, it's usually very easy to go back and fix it. Most of the time, you'll be the only one who knows, lol!!!
Best of luck in all your endeavors.

Hi Shawn,
.
Thank You so much for adding me to your “Following”!!!
I had to retire in 2011 at 53..... Not the way I had planned. Like you I wanted to retire and play golf & stuff. But that wasn't in the cards I was dealt!!! ;-)
I have seen a lot of internet programs over the last 4 years and this looks and feels right!!!
I would greatly appreciate it if you would please let me know if there are any important tips that you think a “Newbie” like I am to WA can benefit from!!!
Best Wishes for Your Continued Success!!!
HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!
Kevin

Hi Kevin!
Nice to meet you and welcome to Wealthy Affiliate!
Like you I also have seen many different programs over the years, all promising the moon and the stars, only to see my bank account dwindle with nothing to show for it. I spent quite a bit of time trying to find reasons not to join WA, but couldn't find anything negative!
I would recommend that you go over the training from top to bottom. I made the mistake of skipping from one section to another, partly because I come from an IT background as well as web development. I soon realized I needed to go back over material to understand it better.
One other thing I would suggest is to only work on one website at a time and don't spread yourself too thin. I created 4 websites all within about 6 months and found that I didn't have enough time to constantly create new content for each site.
I hope I have been of some help to you, but let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
Have a great weekend!
Shawn

Hi Dale,
I've noticed that a lot of the top ranked people in WA have a lot of followers. I have over 8,300 followers but I don't know if it's advantageous or not. I suppose it can make a difference when writing blogs as all your followers will see them, or creating training, etc. You will get an awful lot of emails, just warning you!

Hi Shawn , thanks for the 'follow' although it is apparent that you are 'leading' the way. Interesting and captivating websites, will definitely direct traffic for many to get 'spun into your 'Web'.Since you are 'on-course ' with the training at W/A , You will definitely retire and enjoy the golf 'course ' . All the success to one and all to achieve success in W/A and overcome the hurdles and obstacles.

Hi Shawn,
I checked your website. here is what I like about it.
I like the startup page, you definitely want to click start.
I like that it is to the point and very honest.
it naturally goes to video.
It is just me, but in the section you explain the Niche, where are educating people, as a customer I do not like direct advertising in the first sentence as I would not trust the content when it is advertising. So I would not start with according to Kyle.
I think it can put people off, but then again it is just my opinion.
Let them enjoy being educated without obligation first.
as a whole I like it a lot. well done.

Yes, I am somewhat technical. When you added your amazon affiliate link into your page/post, did you do it in text mode or visual mode? In order for the link to work you have to add the code when your page/post is in text mode, otherwise it won't work. Then make sure to save your page/post. That's great that someone wants to buy what you reviewed. Congratulations!
Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi Barbara,
Thanks for looking at my sites and FB pages! Yes, I lived in Ottawa from 1973 - 1979 and then again from 1985 until now. I've never been to Abbotsford, but my grandparents used to live in Penticton and I used to vacation in Kelowna back in the early 80's. I love it out there. I can never get enough of the mountains.

Thank you Shawn for your quick reply! You make it so much more of a reality for me to be involved with my goal. So many times I've tried to create and follow methods to achieve a financial goal but just ends up being a dead end and feeling alone dealing with Cyber space....just not a realistic approach. Meeting you and knowing that you are so near by gives my reach so much of a better reality in being with others with the same nature goal. I wish you the best success ever and I know that there will be a time when I shall need you to guide me.

Thanks Shawn for a follow,truly appreciated.Indeed,WA has no negative reviews and it is great atmosphere here.
Here people are feeling positive and in good vibe.
MLM isn't worth it,they just promote their own sale products and you have to pay for them to sell.
WA affiliate program is best(Training+people)
Golf course?
Do you have your own golf course,yes WA is great as additional income or for full-time income.If you believe it,you can do it Shawn!
Wishes and blessings to you from cold Norway to you and your family in Canada.
May WA guide for your desired financial income :-)

Hi Marijus!
Sounds like we both did our due diligence and couldn't find any negative reviews about WA. After being burned by a number of other programs, I was determined to find something wrong with WA and couldn't. The training and the WA community are amazing. That's probably one of the main reasons I joined as an annual premium member.
Best of luck to you and yours in Norway and best of luck to you in all your endeavors.

Hi Niel,
I would suggest that you just start out with the first set of trainings and if you have decided on a niche and/or a domain name, then you can begin to create your About Me and Privacy Policy pages. You can copy the content of my Privacy Policy page from anyone of my websites (just make sure to change all references of my website to yours). That will be a good start for you and then you can start to create new pages and your site will continue to grow.
Hope this helps!

Hi Shawn,
Sorry for the belated reply to your follow. The past year was very busy and had to take care of other issues, like health, rather than the website and Wealthy Affiliate.
My months away from WA has affected my rankings and everything else, obvious from the lack of new content on my websites. Also, my non-interaction with other members here. That has changed, I’m now have committed to spending 4 hours a day working on website and content. Now in the process of making some changes to the website and writing new content and will be publishing soon.
Hope you check in on every now and then to keep me focused.
Here's to success in all you do.

It's amazing how from the moment I joined this community I had such a good fr long about it. I'm really bad at following instructions n even though I'm usually very anxious on getting to see if this is legit I just like like reading people's bio n where they come from and getting to know everyone. Everyone here is just so nice and so helpful thT I haven't had time to log in n finish up my website plus I guess I'm lagging it a bit. Websites n domains n niches are a lil confusing for me and by now I would have logged off but everyone here makes me feel like someday I will eventually get to it and gives me that faith I will make profit of it. I just don't want to leave. It's nice to meet different people everyday m to learn a lol from each one. Thank you for the add and can't wait to learn from u.

I have just one word...Wow! I took a sneak peak at your websites, I am just amazed. Everything is crystal clear and easy to navigate, but most importantly, they are bursting with information. I hope one day I can follow in your examples and be successful. To be honest, when I first saw your websites, I was kind of nervous because I kept thinking to myself "How am I ever going to do this?" I am a new premium member on WA, having joined only a few days ago, and I don't have all of the training down yet. However, after really navigating your sites and seeing the content that you present, it gave me motivation to just keep trying and not give up. If I can present a website even half as amazing as yours, I would be happy. Slowly, as I go through the training on WA (which is more than helpful, by the way), I know I can be as successful as you. Anyways, sorry I'm making you read a ton, but just wanted to thank you for inspiration.

Shawn, thanks for following me. Nice to see another Canadian who is close to my age here. We share a heck of a lot in common. I've tried various MLMs and nothing really came of them. I've dabbled in some party-plan direct sales opportunities, which I enjoyed more than straight MLM, but I want more freedom than you can have by building and coaching a team.
And I, too, am looking to retire next year. My sister-in-law lives in Ottawa, so if I'm ever out that way, maybe I'll show up on your doorstep! :)
Go Senators!

Hello, and thank you!
Being new to the community is both a challenge and a blessing. I think the challenge will be to me (and about me and what will work for me) while the blessing is when you get to know new friends and people who can guide you and advise you about what to do next.
I'll surely be bothering you with questions soon enough, for now, I just want to say cheers!

Hi Shawn,
I can relate to your boostyourretirementincome site totally! Your site is awesome looking!
So since joining WA and putting that site up, can you tell me if it has actually made you any significant revenue?
My WA journey is only just beginning. My SiteRubix site is just about complete for my niche and I have purchased my final domain for it. I am getting anxious to get my site moved and start generating interest, traffic and ranking. Like yourself, I am an IT professional for about 28 years now. I am aware of web sites and how to make money online, just not my specialty. So I am doing lots of training and learning all I can.
Being a WA member is a great place for me hone my skills. Everyone is great with help and support.
Thank you for helping me! My site is also posted n my profile page. I would appreciate your feedback.

Shawn,I am having such a hard time. I went back trough boot camp where Kyle says to choose 3 themes. I did that and now my company name does not appear on any of my pages. I am really lost as to what to do next. Don't want to bother you, just wanted you to know what is going on.

Hi Shawn,
I spent some time looking at your websites and your facebook page as learning tools. I originally had a question, and your website seemed to answer it for me.
Is it okay to put another affiliate program link on the WA site which I have created?
Your website seemed to say it is okay. Let me know.

Hi Shawn,
Thanks for the following. I am following you as well. You have certainly picked the right opportunity to enter upon retirement. You will be amazed and perplexed, simultaneously. However, don't get down on yourself. Keep on learning, plugging away and eventually, you will begin reaping benefits. Be blessed in all you do. Peace.

My pleasure Phillip. I certainly hope what you say comes true. I must admit, there are times when I get down and frustrated because things aren't moving as fast as I'd like, but I will persevere and try to be patient.

Hi Shawn,
It's good to meet you and to know that you've been here a while. I started towards the end of September so I have a lot of catching up to do. I'm sure I can learn a lot from you.
I've also created a retiree site. Let me know what you think.

Hi Shawn,
Aside from the founders and a chap called Pribs, you are my first deliberate follow. Your enormous 'followship' caught my eye, so I thought I might have some of the magic rub off on me!
I'm from South Africa. I have a peculiar situation, which necessitates that I make a success of this, so I need to gravitate to where success appears to be.
No pressure, Shawn! :-)

Hello Shawn, I am following you and also proud to have you in my network as well! It appears that you have been very busy on your sites, which I find very impressive! I myself am not very computer savvy, so in turn my progress has been somewhat slower in comparison. But I would like to think that I've still made a fairly good site, but I guess time will tell. I wish you all the best in your upcoming retirement and success as well!..Bob

Hi Bob,
Nice to meet you! I am happy to be in your network. Thankfully, my career has allowed me to be somewhat computer savvy, so creating my websites might have been a little easier for me compared to others. However, I didn't know wordpress before starting out with WA but now I find it so much easier to create websites. Just choose a nice theme and you're half way there. I wish you much success in all your endeavors and let me know if there is anything I can help you with.
Regards,
Shawn

Hey Shawn, your trainings and websites all look great, I'll come back and go through some of them as soon as I finish my WA training. Often my attention jumps from one thing to the other and I end up in chaos, with no visible results. Here, at WA, I'm trying to avoid that and really dive into the content.
But I won't forget about your programs!
Take care, be well

Thank you for following me.
I have been through Ottawa many times. (Usually hoping we didn't get lost!) We went moose hunting at a camp north of Ottawa and beyond Maniwaki. Loved it! I would like to write a book about my hunting & travel experiences but haven't taken the time.
Best wishes.

It's been several years since we've gone moose hunting. I'm looking forward to making money online so then we can do the fun things we used to do. :)
I must learn to be persistent & follow through until success arrives!
Have a great day!

Thanks for adding me to your network Shawn, your timing couldn't be better. I'll be checking out your BestAzon plugin training very soon. I've been to Ottawa, my family vacationed for a week there way back in 1979. It's a beautiful city, and we had a lot of fun. Thanks again bud, and best wishes to you.

My pleasure Brad! I hope you find the training useful. I moved from Ottawa back to Calgary back in June 1979 and then moved back to Ottawa in August 1985. Ottawa has really grown since 1979. Let me know if there is anything I can help you with.

Keep up the great work :)

Thanks Shawn. I appreciate you sharing. I have traveled a similar path and sincerely need to use my mind more that brawn these days. This so far appears to be a way to leave a legacy to my children, my foster children and my wife....without physically killing myself in the process :)
