I have worked in the retail industry for... well, way too long... and after many years of earning just barely enough to get by, I am now looking for any opportunity to provide better lives for my wife and kids.
I enjoy working with people and learning new things. I like helping others develop their abilities and Wealthy Affiliate will be a great tool for that. I personally know many, many people who could benefit tremendously from the training here. I hope to learn as much as I can and share that with others. There is really no place I'd rather be right now.

Dear CraigW315,
Welcome, and Good Day!
Congratulations on your accomplishments.
You appear to be confident in writing, by the look of your Blog numbers.and your question "Do you have a Writing Persona?"
I agree. That is an essential part of an online business for profit.
Have you read Dan Kennedy,lately? He says that Personality is the key to along term customer, who buys, and buys, and buys again from you, That adds up and saves on the traffic bill, so long as traffic you buy, is targeted.

Hi Craig, I read your comment on someone else's blog that you are currently job-hunting, having hoped that your online businesses would have taken off by now. I've just had a look at your sites and am really surprised that they haven't yet! I especially love your WA promotion site, it's a really nice interface, really well designed with colour and fabulous posts. I'm not promoting WA yet, working in my own niche, but I wish I could produce something so beautiful. All the best to you and I really hope to read very soon that you've had success you didn't imagine with these sites.

Thank you so much! That is extremely kind of you and I am grateful for you taking a moment to comment.
I am actually quite happy with my WA site. It's certainly not perfect, but it's developing nicely, I think. The main issue is traffic. Without traffic, well, nothing much will happen, so I am focusing on that right now. Once the visitors start to arrive, all will be good.

Have you promoted it yourself on social media?
Perhaps it's time for some paid campaigns?

Hi there! Thanks for following back!
I really wish I had some sort of great insight to offer, but I am still learning stuff every day myself. If anything,I would just say what everyone else here says: follow the training, in order and without skipping anything. Don't try to re-interpret anything to make it better. Just follow, have patience and ask for help when you need it because there is an entire community waiting to help.
As for reaching rank 17 (now 18...) it just happened over time by being active, asking questions and sharing what I learned.
Best of luck to you!

I see that you joined in 2016 and are already an ambassador and have completed all the Certification training. With both of those combined, I bet you're getting enough income to more than get by. If not now, then really soon. Here's to your success!

Well, not yet, but hopefully soon.
I technically joined in April 2016, but due to various other things going on in my life, I didn't really get serious about WA until the end of October.
Things are going slowly, but we're getting there.

As long as I can keep enjoying the journey more than expecting to reach all my goals, I will be happy.
Hoping you will achieve enough success to keep you involved.

Good evening Graig,
We have met along the way I think.
A family is the most important part of life, you are right, their well-being is a priority.
As you have been with Wealthy Affiliate a while I hope your hard work has started to pay off.
I hope you will find to check my third post on the world library, it is a great source for writing. In the fourth post have a look at the documentary, it might be of your interest.
Thanks for the follow and good luck.
Regards, Taetske

My family is a big part of my motivation as well. Someone once told me I had to take care of myself because my family needs me, and I took that to heart and it helped keep me on my journey of weight loss and health. Now I believe that helping others with help me continue on that journey, while I make enough money to help my family.
Your bio has been motivational to me. Thank You for that.

You'll probably find that most of the successful people here at WA are also the ones who are the most helpful, so I suspect that you will do rather well.

Sounds awesome, Craig. I can totally appreciate where you are coming from. I was an educator in a parochial school setting for far too long. Now this is my side kick and new interest. Gotta keep life fresh and exciting I say. I hope we can interact from time to time. Your anniversary is coming up! Celebrate it, guy!

Hello again Craig!
Just wanted to say I had a look at your Website.
I really like your "About me" page. As you'll understand, I love science fiction movies about the space, et's and so on. As a child I read tons of different comics, Donald Duck and Superman for example. My father he still loves to read "The Phantom". Can you guess what he gets as a Christmas Gift or Birthday gift?!
I like your attitude: It's important as an adult to keep the child inside of you alive, that makes the world a lot brighter. Myself, I still love Mickey Mouse and wish I could fly like Superman ;-)
By the way the Picture of you and your son is aaaawsome!!
Keep on flying!

Hello Craig,♫Welcome! Nice to meet you ツ I wish you a lot of learning pleasure and fun on WA. Thank you for adding me to your network.
From the start, I have written training for every issue I had problems with myself. I made an addition for After The Walkthrough. Also a list of 1001 niche ideas, a checklist with 25 points to go through before you publish a post, 101 blogging ideas when you get stuck and an A-Z WA dictionary. I just love lists:) It has been very helpful to a lot of people. I have listed them in one blog you can find on my profile. It's the first website link right under “Follow me on” (click on my picture to get there). I hope to help you with those.
If you have any questions, please reply to this message or leave a comment on my profile.

This is a great place to get training and connecting with people.
Yes, I believe your life in retail was not easy and you could tell us many stories.
I did choose this over another program because I like the way that everything is laid out here and easy to navigate.
I see by your second picture that you have a partner and reason to succeed.

I had a somewhat rough start. I joined back in April or so and I really liked it, but I felt a bit overwhelmed. I think I put out a post or two, but mostly just did a couple of lessons and then backed away from it.
A couple of months ago, I lost my job and decided that I would look into WA again while job hunting. I am so glad I did. I have been much more committed to it this time (although I still slack off a bit-- I need to work on that) and the positivity of the community and the sense that I am accomplishing something have been extremely helpful to my morale.
I am still in the early stages of learning, and probably quite far from making any real revenue, but I am loving it here and I feel as if I have finally found what I should be doing. I am working on the bootcamp because I want to reach out to other people like myself who just need that one great opportunity to turn their lives around.
I hope that you also have a great 2017. I think it may just be an amazing year.

Hi Craig, thank you for the follow back! It's great to be a part of your network here at WA.
I too, am here to do what I can to provide a better life for my hubby and kids...working so much at a regular job does get tiring when earning just enough to barely scrape by...I hear you on that! I'm hoping too that someday my kids will follow my footsteps in one way or another and own their own online businesses instead of working for someone else.
Looking forward to seeing you succeed in all your goals and hoping you're having a great 2017 so far!
Best wishes :) ~Sherry

Hello Craig and welcome to Wealthy Affiliate.
Since you joined way back in April you will no doubt have come to realise that internet marketing can be a steep learning curve.
If you do get stuck then can I suggest you browse some of the 270+ blogs I have published within WA.
Thank you for the follow and I will follow you as well.
Enjoy your day.

Hi! Yes, it is quite the learning curve. I am reading what I can and learning what I can, while trying not to be too overwhelmed!
There is a ton of information here and much to learn, but I am very excited by the opportunities WA represents.
I technically did start in April, but quickly became sidetracked, so I am making another, more serious attempt this time and loving it. Hopefully it will be smooth(er) sailing this time.

Craig, I see you are making some good progress through the Affiliate Bootcamp. Just wanted to pop by and see if you need a hand with anything?
I also wanted to mention the success rates of Bootcamp. Absolutely everyone that has taken action on all of the phases of Bootcamp has a business that is generating consistent income online. MANY of these folks are going to be at our super affiliate conference next year.
I want this to be you and I want you to succeed with your promotions. So, please promise me that if you ever need a hand or feel stuck as you move forward, that you will get in touch with me!
Trust me, I know things can be a little overwhelming sometimes and I don't want you feeling like that.
Anyways, just checking in. Get back at me if you need anything Craig.
