Can You Truly Make Money Online?
I know the answer is YES. But CAN I do it? I am not sure and I haven't had any monetary results quite yet. I just try to have faith and keep up with the lessons here in WA.
One thing I know for sure is the experience here has been pretty exhilarating and exciting. I actually learned how to make a website, get indexed in google, made tons of connections that can help me along the way, and the progress I have made even surprises myself time to time.
With all the positive things that came from WA, I still question myself, 1. "Did I pick the wrong niche?", 2. "Am I wasting my time and money here?", 3. "Should I quit?".
My answers to myself: 1. "Pick a new niche and start over!" (contemplating this one) 2. "Try to look at it as a class i am taking in website development" (learning can never be a waste of time and money!) 3. "Don't quit! give it some more time." (that seems to be the response from EVERYONE here at WA.)
I THOUGHT a website dedicated to trying to cure allergy symptoms and getting relief to allergy sufferers like me would be perfect. But as I started writing my blogs and researching ideas, the competition out there has me slowly crawling back into my shell.
Allergyrelief4all.com has been up for a couple of months and I followed all the lessons here, but of my course my results have been substandard. I know Rome was not built in a day but... My impatient personality seems to be getting the best of me. If ANYBODY has any suggestions for my website, PLEASE feel free to criticize and critique.
My plan was to start making at least a part-time income with my niche so I can start the affiliate bootcamp and start a new "make money online" site where I can prove to my readers that this "thing of ours" truly can work and make them money. I do see a bit more potential in earning an income with the "making money online" niche. But I can't see myself fully promoting WA with the promise of making money when I myself have not been able to yet. Might be a bit too virtuous, but that's just me.
So as of now, I am just going to keep on trucking! Chalk everything up to a "learning experience", give it some more work and time and see what happens. Of course the main goal is to start earning revenue, but baby steps first I guess. Number 1 goal now is getting ranked on the first few pages Google. Who knows if and when that will ever happen?
A quick thank you to all that I have followed and are following me. Appreciate you all very much! If you could use another follower or friend on any social media networks, here are my links below. i always make sure to follow back! Thanks for taking time to read up on my inner thoughts and hopefully my next blog post will be more exciting and upbeat!
Thanks all!

Hey Charlie, keep chugging along somewhere along the track will be the downhill and you will know that all your effort was worthwhile.
All the best

Just keep at it! Two months is not a long time. It takes time to build the authority and brand of your business, not to mention improve your SEO and search engine rankings. All it takes is one great review to start seeing a return. It took me about 3 months and with one product, I was earning three times the amount of income I did at the job that let me go.
This gave me the confidence to keep going and expanding on the site. I looked at it as a real brand. Remember, your number one goal should be to deliver value to your readers.
It takes a little time but don't give up and stick with the niche you picked for now. I am sure there is money to be made in it.
If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask. I would be happy to help!
Thanks, all the best and much success!

Thanks a lot for the boost of confidence! After listening to you, I have already changed my number 1 goal! Value to my readers! You are soooo right!
Really appreciate your input! Thanks again!
great post. this is exactly the way I feel right now. I am wanting my niche to work but at the same time also want to change directions entirely. I have a hard time seeing the big picture and need to get over that. I look at it as an investment in learning and trying out something new and exciting. Getting over writers block and finding motivation are 2 of my biggest struggles. I believe this can work and love what WA has brought to me,
Thanks Mitch! I figured I wasn't the only one feeling the uncertainty, but with uncertainty, excitement almost always follows. Everyone here says 2 months is not enough time to see any substantial result sonwe have to have fait and keep churning out those blogs! Taking a break for a day or two and thinking about other things help a lot when my mind gets clogged up. Good luck with your business! I'll be rootin for ya!
