Thanks, I've been focusing on my website but now that's looking better I'm allowing myself to engage on WA better. All the best for your journey too.

What a great accomplishment when you can give up your paid employment...a lot of peoples dreams.

Yep, there is nothing really as secure as a global business built on your own terms, is there :)

Thanks Rania, very kind of you to say :)

Yeah I know, I'll keep following you now. I was trying various follow strategies to try and make it easier to cope with the influx of emails lol.

LOL Deb. At least I know I pass the cognition test as I age!

HI and welcome, there are quite a few of us from Downunder here :)

Great thanks :)

Yes, it's a new way of writing emails for people on your list. It's not easy but I'm studying with a master of the technique. If you want to see what I mean join my list. It's on my productivity blueprint page of my website. BTW I'm still a kiwi at heart. Heading home for Christmas early Friday morning :

Hi found your list, I tried to join your list, went through the email confirmation but it stopped there? I was expecting to receive a "things to do" template or something or did I just not follow correctly?

Wow, thanks for feedback. I'll check it out? Don't you hate technology sonetimes? where are you in NZ?

Yes!!!,Waipu, Northland, its been very hot and dry this last week!!

Wow, that is remote, I'm a Wellie woman myself

Remote!!! used to be, now you can't walk down the main street without bumping into "newly arrived Aucklanders" they are flooding in.
Our population was only 1400 two years ago and now its expected to be over 2000!
Ah well the two cafe's will be selling lots of coffee's at $4 a pop!

Thanks Steven and thanks for the thoughtful comment you left on my blog post.
I have a job too, although I have managed to condense it down to working 20 hours over 2 days (mostly, it does spill over sometimes).
I actually don't know if I'll hit my goal, it's a pretty tall order but the fact that I have it sitting there has meant that I now view my business differently. I'm doing things that I never did in my first year here, like investing in paid traffic (which is expensive and scary). Having a scary goal has pushed me outside of my comfort zone. I'm now looking at video, which I've never done before, because I realised that I have connected most strongly with other marketers via video.
WA is a very cozy environment, it's a lovely home to have, but don't let yourself get too comfy if you're serious about making money. A lot of people just seem to use it as a hobby.

Wishing you lost of success

Deb

Thank you for the compliment :) I probably am not as intrepid an explorer as I need to be amongst the perils of Internet marketing :) Thanks for the follow.

Thanks Steve. I'm actually in the process of putting together a new website. I joined WA over a year ago but decided that I really wanted to pursue my fiction writing dream. Until I worked on it that was and then I found the market swamped and people paying exorbitantly to promote their work without much success. SO leaving the fiction alone for a while to concentrate on IM, which might be hard but not as hard or as lonely as that. :)

Thanks Steve :)

Don't worry :) I've been following you for a while. I was checking out your profile page and a little friend of mine can and pressed the unfollow button, which meant I had to re-follow you, lol

Thank you Louisa :)

You are so welcome!

No problem :)

And to you playful heart, cool username :)

Thanks

Thanks Therese, looking forward to getting to know you better :)

My pleasure and cool name, I hope you achieve yourMgastar status :)

That's just a self motivator Deb, my name is Leo.

My pleasure :)

Thanks and same to you

No problem :) I look forward to reading some of your work

Thanks you too

Thanks and that would be great as I am a bit technophobic and it seems you're quite good at all that stuff that can literally send me round the bend :)

Thanks, you too:)

Thank you!

Sure Just let me know. I've only recently got back into this. I will be changing my site away from it's focus on fiction. It's just too competitive to be successful in, for me anyway,

Thanks You too, :) can I call you Boris?

Thanks for leaving the comment and introducing yourself. What does your husband want to write?

He double majored in History and Political Science. History is his number one passion, so I imagine he would want to start with that. Of course there is a whole world of topics that could include! He is also passionate about veteran's issues as he was a U.S. Marine so I am suggesting he do a site on veteran's issues as well. We have a horrible situation in the U.S. with so many homeless veterans and 20 each day commit suicide here! It is appalling. They need better health care and better access to jobs when they get back. He gave up on the government health care system for veterans and doesn't even use it anymore himself. Luckily we have other insurance.

Thanks for your reply.

So interesting and looking forward to chatting more. I'm currently hiking in the wilderness of New Zealand, so limited internet access but will definitely connect with you when I get back to civilisation :).

Thanks
Deb

By the way, Yvette (https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/yvetteg) is also from Australia.

No problem :)

No problem :)

Thanks :) I will

:) Melbourne is easy to get around because it's just a big grid :). Hope IM goes well for you

No problem :)

:) Thanks Jerry, appreciate it

Thanks :) and nice to meet you.

That sounds goods, perhaps we could swap comments without going through the usual channels? It would cut our commenting work by half, I don't understand why more people don't do it. Started work at 5 this morning, didn't quite make 4 ;)

I'm all about swapping comments, but I'm not sure what you mean by without using the usual channels. Please fill me in! :) if you get up at 5 am, you're doing pretty well! Have you heard of the book The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod? If not, I strongly recommend it. It's very inspiring and talks about just how powerful starting your day right is. I think you'd like it. :)

Thanks Jess I'll check it out. Re. comments, I meant that if we just swap comments informally we can do it one for one, rather than going through the comments process on site rubix where you have to give two comments to get one and you often are asked to comment on thing you know nothing about or have no interest in like gaming, gambling or skate shoes. :)

no problem, you too :)

Hi !!
Tenterfield is the place that Peter Allen wrote the song about isn't it? Nice to meet you :) I lived in Brisbane for a few years when I first moved from NZ to Australia but followed a man to Melbourne (as you do :) ) Thanks for dropping by.

Regards

Deb

Yes the Tenterfield saddler is in high st next to Foodworks. For years when we went to Foodworks the songs were coming out of the building. It was ok for a while but we got sick of hearing the same one for years. We grew up in Brisbane. Moved because of my wife's heart failure. My site is about health and wealth.

Just go into Manage My sites on your profile page, below view blogs and view training and type in the url. Simple (but I realise you might have been joking :) )

I am always joking but I am now looking for "Manage my site." I just went into my profile page. I could not find a "Manage my site." name.

I have just gone back again and scrolled down and found it on the right side. I could not see the forest for the trees. I will fill it out now thanks...............I blame being an old bugger. By the way I have hundreds of jokes on board ready to go.

oh... maybe mine has that there because my website are already on the site. Did you create your site on site rubix?

I put it in then went and put a blog in with a good joke for you about dog food.

I have about 80 blogs to put in about wealth and health.I have tried other sites but not good enough to understand them. I have a gmail site and a fan page. I am still trying to figure them out as I get stuck understanding links at the moment.

You'll have to share a few. glad I could be of help

I have just finished mowing the front lawn.

And to you KrazyKat :)

Yay :) your the second Aussie I've found here. Welcome.

Hey, no problem. It is a very cool community, the best thing about it for the technically challenged like me is all the help that everyone gives so freely.

Deb

That's fine. I thought it was a really well set up site, and I have a lot of respect for your journey :). I don't think options are for me because there's too big a learning curve when I need to focus on my internet business but very happy to support you here any way that I can. :)

I appreciate that a lot Deb... I too am happy to help you here anytime :)

Wow :) thanks for that. I will be sure to go and check out your sites.

thanks Loes, I have a long way to get to get close you you but it is fun to see my ranking come day after a hard (but enjoyable) day's work of content creation.

Daily activity will change that number real fast:)

And you :)
