Are you satisfied with your current financial position or have you been looking into starting your own online business? Do you have a favorite hobby or interest you like to talk about? You know you can make money just blogging about your hobbies and interests, right? If you are like me then you are not satisfied with your current financial situation, you want to improve it right?.

But I digress, let me backup a bit and see if I can clarify where I am going with this.

October 2017-So What Is This Wealthy Affiliate Place?

October 2017, That was when I found Wealthy Affiliate and have not looked back since. I’m retired and guess you could say getting up there in years but still like to do productive things. I do some volunteer work in my community but would also like to make a little extra cash. After all, who could not use a little extra cash, right?

I’ve spent a fair amount of time looking into work from home online business opportunities. Believe me, there are tons of them out there. And you know what? A high percentage of those are nothing but scams, but I soon learned that Wealthy Affiliate was the real deal. It’s like going to school and learning a new trade. There is everything here to make you successful with your online business.

In addition to the training classes you can also can host up to fifty websites right here on Wealthy Affiliate, with twenty-five of those your own domain. Just think how much your yearly cost would be to host twenty-five domain websites elsewhere? That is all included with your WA membership.

The best thing is that you can try Wealthy Affiliate absolutely free and you can use it free for as long as you want. You do not have to enter a credit card to give it a try.

The Keys To Success

Go through the training. Take the classes in order as they are structure to take you through this step by step teaching you exactly what you need to know in the order you need to know it. Don’t skip around, just follow the steps and you're on your way.

Develop a network of quality contacts. The really nice aspect of Wealthy Affiliate is there are about a million members. Some are new and some have been here multiple years and they are like gold. If you have experienced contacts in your network they can help you over something you might be having a problem with. Most of them have made tutorials of things they have learned so your network of contacts is a valuable source of information.

You can also ask a question in the general chat and usually within minutes you will have someone chime in with the solution. It is amazing the wealth of knowledge available on Wealthy Affiliates

Focus is important. You have to treat this as you would treat a regular job. Set a schedule and keep to it. If you go at this with a casual attitude, you will have a difficult time making it work. You reap what you sow. If you sow a haphazard effort you will reap disappointment and failure. But, if you work hard and take this serious your rewards are unlimited.

Patience is a requirement. Building a successful blog or website takes time. You cannot just throw up a site, place affiliate links and wait for the money to roll in. It takes work! You have to get Google to trust you and that means you have to be writing quality content for your blog and doing it on a regular basis. If Google sees you have nothing of value on your blog or site they will not rank you. If you can’t get ranked high you’re just spinning your wheels.




It's like planting a tomato. You don't just throw a seed in the ground and wait for the tomato to mature overnight. No, you have to water it, fertilize it, pull out the weeds then, the tomato will grow to maturity and you reap the rewards of your effort. So, like that tomato you cannot just watch your blog grow, you have to actively help it grow by performing the steps I mentioned. You plant (build) your website, You water your website by writing content and you pull out the weeds by cutting out the fluff. With regular watering and fertilizing your blog will mature.


Structure Your Posts

I've learned though the lessons here that your posts need a certain structure. They need to be concise with plenty of white space and easy to read. Three or four sentence paragraphs and sufficient images. They must contain quality information that has value and accomplish these four things:

  • State what the problem is or what your reader is seeking.
  • Provide your reader with the solution or information he/she seeks.
  • Tell them the benefit of the solution you offer.
  • Then tell them what they should do or your "call to action"



Share Your Posts On Social Media

Then scatter your information out to your audience. Share it on Facebook, Twitter and whatever other social media outlets you use. If your content is good and valuable friends and others on social will like, retweet your posts and that will increase the traffic to your site and your followers will grow. Soon people will be purchasing products you recommend and your income will begin to grow.

Conclusion

So, what are you going to do now? Improve your life by earning the income you have always dreamed about earning. Follow through on your desire to create a blog or a website? Begin a new online business where you can work from home and be able to spend more time with your family?

All the very best sir..

This is extremely well-written. You have certainly taken the lessons to heart and put your own stamp on things. If you are producing content like this after so little time here, I just know that your site will be taking off in no time.

Thank you Craig. Your comments really mean a lot to me and as a writer you set a very good example and a high standard to try to follow. I am so much looking forward to the months ahead as we all learn how to hone our skills.

Rest of my life? I have a long road ahead of me. Or at least I hope it's like that.

So do I Kevin. I'm 68 so my road is probably a far piece shorter. ;)

Steve

Thank you Steve I appreciate the feedback. I'm looking forward to learning a LOT more.

I love your post Craig. A lot of what we get has to do with how much "do" we put in. I am in love with your tomato analogy. I love tomatoes in general. I think they were the perfect fit to give a good visual though.

Thank you Brittaney, I really appreciate your comments and I love tomatoes too.
