Tonight, after 2 months since join WA, I find myself on the final tasks of Phase 2 Training of The Online Entrepreneurship Course. Time to take stock on what I have achieved and set some goals for the next few months.

What I have Learned so Far

I never had any background in online marketing at all, so for me it was always going to be a case of learning as much as I could, going at my pace to fit around a new career that I have not long started and see how things go.

I have to say it has gone quick since I have started and at first I began the Bootcamp training and was on Phase 2 before deciding to go back to the Online Entrepreneurship Course! I ended up purchasing a domain name and adding about 5 pages, but that site is on the back burner for now!

It just felt more natural to come up with a niche and work on that niche idea, hopefully make some money eventually, and then be able to promote Wealthy Affiliate later on. I came up with my niche pretty quickly and I have been following the training as best as possible.

I struggled to understand how it all fits together at times and picking the right theme was also a massive challenge. I am still not sure if I have picked the right website theme, but I guess I can always change it later.

I have also realised not to stress too much about things I have yet to learn as it seems that topics are introduced as we go along, so I guess that is no big deal. I have the kind of personality where if something does not make complete sense to me, I panic and it makes me feel a bit depressed. I am beginning to learn just to get on with it and do it, as I can improve everything in time.

Plans for the next 2-3 months

I will be continuing with my niche website which is selling football team shirts, both classic shirts from years gone by and new shirts as well. I already know there are affiliate programs that support this, as I researched it in earlier training modules.

I think that Phase 3 will show me how to join affiliate programs and I can start to add affiliate links to my website which I am really looking forward to.

In all honesty I do not know what to expect in the next 2-3 months. Although I would love to start earning affiliate commissions, I am equally if not more interested in understanding what I am learning and being able to do it better, because ultimately, I see the Wealthy Affiliate Training Program as an investment in learning that will pay me down the line.

Here's to the future!
