My First Month With WA
Dear friends at WA,
I joined WA on July 14th. My objective is to earn money to supplement my retirement income and thereby make it possible to do the things I love to do. At first I worked on creating my website between driving for uber in the morning until 9 and after 3 in the afternoon.
Then shortly after I started I had an operation on my right knee. A Quadriceps tendon repair required after I tripped and fell going down stairs. In order to heal properly my right leg must now be held straight in a brace for 6 weeks the surgeon says. Can't drive or do much of anything else now. Perfect situation to put in many hours every day building my website. And that's exactly what I've been doing.
My niche is alarm clocks for the hard of hearing. It has five posts plus the privacy page and has been indexed by Google. Hardest thing for me has been the writing. I am not a natural writer. The WA training lessons are like having a drill instructor telling me to quit procrastinating, quit complaining and just sit your ass down and write if you want to get to the next training lesson. It's just what I need.
Take this blog. I've never written a blog before, but the WA DI says if I want to finish Lesson 10 and get started on the money part of the training I'm damn well going to write a blog! So here it is. I hope you don't find it too depressing.
All the best to anyone who reads this.

Hi Dick. It's a great first post. I think you'll make a fantastic blogger. Just a word of warning though, we are not supposed to place our website links in our blogs. The ideal place to get comments on your website. Is the website feedback forum. I'll place a link below. Jim

Dear DaisyK78,
Sorry. I guess I missed that when I read the blog rules. How do I remove it?
Thanks for your comment.

At top of your Blog, you can see a green box with a speech bubble in it, on the right of that a cog-like thing with an arrow pointing down, click on the arrow then click on edit.

Many thanks. I fixed it.
Still learning all the small things that can be done on WA if you know which of the dozens of little buttons to push.
All the best,
Richard
Great.
Learning is great and can be frustrating.
You are doing fine.
I wish you much success
