Day 26 - Hard at Work

Monday 15th February 2016...It's been a slow few days, but we're well and truly back in the swing of things today. Important work is finally being done.We're both in front of the computer screens today filtering through everything we need to do; and although Aiden is singing Justin Bieber songs (terribly) we're making great headway.Our first video is pretty much ready to go up and our second is being edited by Aiden (featuring JB, obviously..) as I type. I probably underestimated the video maki

Are you applying attention to detail?

Something I can't stress enough on here, and have mentioned countless times, (and will continue to do so - might I add!) is that the worst thing you can possibly do is rush yourself. Don't!All the time I see people steam rolling ahead getting things done just for the sake of getting it done. That isn't what creates a good website. That isn't what makes quality content. It's not what brings in potential customers. Taking your time and making the effort to stress over the smaller details has a we

Day 21 - Going Public

10th February 2016What a hectic few days it's been!The wheels are well and truly in motion here at my website. Myself and Aiden have been planning meticulously for the next few weeks of the site and already have some blog posts drafted and scheduled for release. Not only that, but we've started planning site 2! We're not rushing ourselves - however - just planning ahead, which is most definitely important. We also decided to 'go public' as it were, and show off what we've done so far on social

Are you giving yourself a break?

Something that has become very apparent to me in my time at WA is that obviously the task set out in front of you is huge. There's an awful lot to do and so much effort needs to be put in. But are you giving yourself enough down time to actually work effectively?Most people know the phrase 'Don't run before you can walk' and this - although incredibly cliché - rings true with this process. I quite often see people trying to fly through their lessons here and force up a sub-par website an

Day 16 - Enter: Traffic!

Friday 5th February 2016...Well, where did I leave off?Okay, so, my full time job has quietened down a touch with the completion of a degree I was doing alongside my work. Which gives me the opportunity to get back behind the wheel and drive down the road towards getting some more content achieved (did you like that metaphor? I think it was slightly cringey...) My website has taken shape quite nicely and I've got a few posts on there. It brought me no end of joy when I woke up yesterday to find

Day 9 - Bang on Shedule

29th January 2016...After a little over a week of hard work, dedication, and at some moments pulling my hair out, I now have my website! (I'll leave the domain name at the bottom if you want to take a look after.) It's been a roller coaster. I've so far filled my site with a little content, glammed it up slightly, and I'm really quite pleased with how it's shaping up. I'm actually relatively ahead of my 10 day goal plan. This means I have completed the course 1 lessons, chosen my niche and set

Day 4 - The Wheels of Progress

24th January 2016It's become very apparent to me just how easy it is for everybody on here to be so happy-go-lucky all of the time. The past week has been incredibly hectic, as I worked through my lessons and started building what I hope will be the start of the rest of my life. I probably didn't take into account just how much work is required for this; and I'm only just at the beginning. Despite this I'm actually really quite enjoying the work and feel very included in the community. The 'gan

Day 1 - Humble Beginnings!

21st January 2016...So there I was, on my way home from my dead end job beating myself up about the fact that I hadn't yet made something of myself. When I was younger, I had big dreams. I had actually wanted to be in the Royal Air Force - however when I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in June of 2008 I knew this could never materialise. My focus fixated on my hobby, something I enjoyed doing very much and had done since as long back as I can remember; cooking. Thoughts of travelling the wo
