I am known as Bear. I have growling sessions all of the time. Ask my cubs (grand-kids) what a Pa says,and they will growl at you. But they know that I am just a big teddy bear.
I have been a member at WA for over a year now. I have built and or purchased a number of websites during this time. I have enjoyed my time here and have found a new passion building and maintaining websites. I have made a decision to do a complete re-boot my training.
I have had trouble with a few things here. The first problem is that I don't have confidence in my writing. The next problem is I have very little traffic to most of my websites that I control. I believe the first problem is related to the second one.The last problem is I have Shiny Object Syndrome. So using the old saying "if at first you don't succeed, then eat cake. After that try again." I have decide to set the following goals.
1. Start the training from lesson 1 and complete the entire training.
2. Write a blog post in WA about each lesson I complete .
3. Not to start a new project until I am done.
In this way I will pick up the thing that I missed in training and practice my writing. Wish me luck in solving these problems.

Thanks for the follow Bear! I had the same problem as you when I started here with having confidence in my writing ability. Read Anthony Bourdains book. He said DO NOT write to an audience, write from the heart and the audience will follow. It worked wonders for me. Also, blogging here on WA and writing reviews of other websites (and getting paid) is great practice. Have a great weekend dude and best of luck!

Hey David, I can totally relate to your situation! I too have also been dealing with "shinny object syndrome" and I hate to write because it takes me sooooo long to compose a written piece and I usually find myself re-writing it an insane amount of times. So I feel your pain brother. I am still trying to find a way to add content to my site without having to write it myself! So wish you all the best brother!
Your friend,
Dave

Good luck with your goals, Bear! I understand the Shiny Object Syndrome, for sure. I've been using Trello to keep lists of all the shiny objects so I don't feel like I lose the great idea if I don't start it RIGHT NOW. When I finish a current goal, I can come back and play. Following you now, and wishing you every success.

Thanks for the follow. Yeah, sometimes slower is better. I have completed the two first parts of the training and have started on the third but I have now braked things a little as I need to focus on getting some content on my site and my time is real limited since I hold a full time day job also. It just takes dedication and perseverance. I wish you lots of luck and hope you accomplish all your goals. Cheers!!

Hi David, I had a big problem writing also. I even ran away for 6 months and didn't do anything during that time, except eat cake. I am back. It is awesome to hear you worked with it and built websites. I am looking forward to being able to say the same thing. I am keen to follow your progress. All the best.

Hello, Dave, This is a good decision you put, to write a blog post, in WA about each lesson you complete.
You are absolutely right to put some rules, but don't stress about the writing skills, I remember myself when I started, I could not believe in writing a post, just keep practicing, learn from others, trust yourself, you can do it, just do it, if it is not perfect it doesn't matter, you will learn from your mistakes, this the way to learn any new skills. Be confident, and remember we are a friendly community, we are here altogether, just ask for help when you needed.
All the best to you.

Hi Dave,
That's a great resolution you have. I agree that may be it's good to start from the beginning and try differently this time. We might missing a lot of useful guide the first time we're on training.
About writing blog post, I have the same problem with you that writing is not something I am comfortable with. But following Kyle's advise that you don't have to be a writer to write a good content. It's about relaying messages across to you audiences. Now I try to write as much as I could without too much concern as long as I know my writing is readable and people can related to what I am trying to present.
All the best and thank you for the connection.

I don't mind so much the quality, (it does suck) but how long it takes me to write it. I will take a week to write 1000 words. I don't have that much time to spare. So I have gone having purchasing my content. But I am still have to wait for content to be done. LOL

I can only say keep going. on going. If you think your videos are lame, then watch people that have lots of follows and find a style you like, then make your style like that. Don't copy them, but be similar to them.
Also remember that the best way to do this is to help your visitors. That is the secret of this business.
Hope this will help.

Hello David and Welcome To Wealthy Affiliate.
Since you joined you will perhaps have come to the conclusion that internet marketing can be a steep learning curve.
You must keep up with the training and keep referring to it but if you get really stuck on anything then can I suggest you browse some of the 400+ blogs I have published within WA.
You can always get in touch with me as well.
You have decided to follow me and I will follow you as well.
Have a great day.

No that was not my point. In the 2 years I have been here I have discovered that I am not a writer. I am in the process of switching form writing my own stuff to purchasing it. I wish I could get to 25 blogs here, but at the pace I am going, it will be 3 years before I get that far.
I have been working in the local business end of things instead of affiliate marketing. That is why I have not finished my training.
When time permits i will check out your blogs.
Thanks

Hi Bear, Wish you all the Best. You have excellent plan to reboot your work. My suggestion- go steady with Nisch Plan - step by step and revise the same thing with Boot Camp once in a week. That way you will be able to absorb more.

David, we have a lot in common all the way down to teddy grandpa. My main ongoing problem centers around 'too many irons in the fire' leading to too many incomplete projects. Being a voracious reader ( philosophy, religion, politics, and the likes) has helped my writing tremendously not to mention the infectious influences that I have had by associating with English teachers: they must have a passion for reading and writing just to meet qualifications for teaching the subject.
May I suggest that you start a relationship with one ( male or female ) at your earliest convenience. What they will turn you onto is priceless.

Hello David :) I love the support I'm getting (and hopefully I'm also contributing to help others too) but I do have an important and burning question for you... My ideal end point is to produce passive income streams from my work here. Once I have invested the hundreds of hours required to get everything set up I'm really looking to have the bulk of it work without me needing to do anything. Lazy I know but it's one of the reasons I'm doing this. Am I on the wrong train? If I'm not is there people I can see or talk to that will help me with my ideal goal? If I'm on the wrong train I still want to push forward but I'll have to split my focus a bit (no biggie as I'm a multi tasker) into my business outside email marketing which does have the potential to be passive but also requires work to do so. No biggie but I'm getting older and my girlfriend will be back in 3 months and I want something to show for it (and she's a massive time sink and wants me around full time). Thanks :)
